Kawasaki ZX-14R Street/Track Build – Parts List & Breakdown
Posted by Schnitz Racing on 25th Sep 2025
We all know and love the Kawasaki ZX-14R. Right from the dealership, it’s a powerhouse — smooth, comfortable, and packed with potential. But let’s be honest… stock is never fast enough for those of us who live for speed.
The ZX-14R has earned its reputation as one of the most popular sport bikes in the world. With endless aftermarket support and tens of thousands of parts available, it’s the perfect platform to transform into something truly special. Whether you’re chasing horsepower, reliability, or style, the ZX-14R is a blank canvas that responds extremely well to upgrades.
Recently, we had a customer come to us with a clear vision: build a street killer that could still hold its own at the drag strip. Something reliable enough to cruise around town, but aggressive enough to line up at the tree and have fun on race day. Together, we mapped out a build that would give him exactly that balance of power, performance, and versatility.
The end result? After riding it both on the street and at the track, the customer couldn’t be happier. Smooth where it needs to be, savage when the throttle’s wide open — this ZX-14R delivers.
This blog post is all about showcasing the products we selected for this build. These are tried-and-true upgrades that work, and they turned an already great motorcycle into something next level.
