Newbie from Co Durham

Welcome to the forum Mark.  Where Are You?

I live near Sedgefield, Co Durham.

Reason for buying one is I went to the Winter Classic in Newark and saw this one

Is this one of the members bikes?

That bike is from Brian Wilson, his screen name on Oldskoolsuzuki.info is Dangerous .
Sadly he does not have a build thread ( yet )

I cant remember seeing him on here.

That must have been a seriously expensive build! It was one of the stars of the show for me, that and a perfect lucky strike RG250...
(I know, it's not a 14 but it was still a dream of mine many years ago)

Welcome Mark, anotber nice looking 14 

[Smu71]

Picked my 14 up today, had a very easy ride home along the A1 but love it already. Noticed a couple of things I want to sort quickly and looking for a bit of help.
1. The gear lever has quite a bit of play and is adjusted down a little too much for me.
2. The throttle twist grip slides from side to side quite a bit and is a little loose on the bar. Is this normal?
Any help / guidance on how to sort would be greatly appreciated.

1. Gear lever see here: https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=2120.0

2. You can adjust the play of the throttle grip to your liking by loosening the 2 screws underneath the cable housing of the crip assemply. A tiny bit of play is needed though to keep it from getting stuck.

I'm toying with a ride upto Hartside on Monday 6th May (bank Holiday) for the biker photo shoot if you fancy it, we could meet up at durham somewhere and head up. I quite fancy a proper photo of me on the bike haha.
