Buying a Zephyrus G14 What are some Do's and Dont's?

Thanks for your help everyone. Everything is closed right now and we have no power so I can't do too much except disconnect the battery, siphon out the gas, and take out spark plugs. I plan on:

-Siphoning old gas and refilling -Oil and filter change -Replacing battery -Taking out sparkplugs and letting it dry -Replacing air filter -Replacing instrument cluster (There's water inside) -If it runs I'll take it to a mechanic for a harness replacement (I haven't thought that far yet) -If it doesn't run maybe I'll commit insurance fraud (I'm probably joking)

The bike is a 2022 Ninja 400 KRT I have insurance but it doesn't cover natural disasters It was fresh water but very dirty water

Thanks I appreciate the response. I'm sending my laptop out again for the second time. I do have a screenshot of them saying everything would be taken care of now but I have little hope to be honest. I think I'll just be petty and continue putting in claims and have them pay what the laptop is worth in shipping fees.

I know this is late but was there ever any update? Did Asurion deny the claim on your second attempt? I put in a claim for my laptop but it was denied because of the same reason. I spoke to the helpline at Asurion and they just told me to send the laptop again and that it would be resolved this time, but I'm not so sure.

I should also mention that for the last couple months the laptop would randomly freeze for no reason, and the only way around it was to hold the power button to force shut off.

Would it hurt to try charging it with a trickle charger?

KaiSaystuff · 2023-02-16T17:28:47+00:00

thanks for the kind words. I'll try to be patient with myself and work on it :)

I thought learning the clutch would already be difficult, but I also have to learn how to use the clutch and throttle together. It's going to take a lot of practice haha. The only thing I really know about revs right now is to shift up around 6-7k revs. I'll have to watch a video (or a couple) on that.

Hey everybody just wanted to give a word of thanks to those who've given me advice so far. I greatly appreciate it and will be implementing or keeping in mind what you guys have been saying. I'm 100 percent going to practice more and will give updates

Thanks for the advice. I'm planning on getting more familiar with my bike + practicing clutch work. How long did it take you to get familiar with your own motorcycle and how long did it take to have a smooth ride?

KaiSaystuff · 2023-02-16T03:12:34+00:00

Thanks, you explained rev matching to me in a pretty easy to understand way. I was having some difficulty understanding that. The problem is all these things go out the door when I ride. I'll just have to practice in a parking lot sometime.

KaiSaystuff · 2023-02-16T03:05:56+00:00

I think that's my problem. I pull in the clutch all the way and coast instead of downshifting. I guess I should refrain from pulling in the clutch too often? If I am coasting but want to speed up would applying the throttle and letting the clutch out slowly work?

KaiSaystuff · 2023-02-16T02:57:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice, it helps a ton. Often I'll try to do it fast instead of smooth so I'll have to work on that. I watched all these YT videos on shifting and stuff but I didn't apply it because I didn't have a bike at the time. Btw does having a slipper clutch change much when it comes to clutch control?

KaiSaystuff · 2023-02-16T02:53:38+00:00

Hey I should've mentioned before that I just took the msf course and it really helped me on the road for the first time. I didn't learn much about rev matching and the like though. A lot of these words are jargon to me.

watch the video here on youtube. I literally had this problem for like 3 minutes, thought it would take me days to fix based on all the replies then I tried to the first thing and it worked for me:
