What's under your seat?

[gsxbarmy]

So we all know that there is copious space available under the seat of a GSX1400

My question to your therefore is.......What's under your seat?

(I'll start with nothing as there is absolutely no space under the seat of a BMW R1250GS!!!! But don't let that stop you GSX1400 owners LOL)

I have loads under my seat
A large toolkit mainly used for fixing other bikes .
A large chain and lock .
Airbed pump.
Spare set of levers.
Tyreweld.
And a puncture repair kit .
Think that's all .

Before I sold the 14 I had spare levers, a compressor, multi meter, rain gear, puncture repair kit, tool kit, Swiss army knife, occy straps, duct tape and a folder containing a note pad, owners manual, a couple of pens and give away laminated paper clip test & result info.

Standard tool kit, tyre repair kit, cig lighter style plug hooked up to battery.
That's about it.

But my top box stays on my bike most of the time and I keep other stuff in there - first aid kit and tourniquet, jacket liner etc.

and give away laminated paper clip test & result info.

Wouldn't be much good for your own bike under there - cant get to underseat without key and need bike to stay on so codes don't clear...

Michael they're just two laminated sheets about 120 x 100 with info on locating the plug for the paper clip test, an explanation of the fault code and a paper clip.
I had the FI light come on when 75k in to a weekend away so I did the test & got a C28 but I had no idea what that was so headed home. If I had info on the C28 I could have kept going. I swore that wouldn't happen again so I printed and laminated the relevant info and now hand them out to any 1400 riders I see on my travels.

Take the seat off and remove the battery tray top. In there next to the battery are three or so
multiconnectors. One of them's a bigger black one ( you don't want that ), one of them's a
smaller white one ( That's the one ). The white one you'll notice has two cables going to it. A
white / red one and a black / white one. The black / white one is an earth. By careful observation
one can deduce which of the connector terminals these two cables go to. Then take a paperclip /
hairclip / sandwich bag tie / any other suitable conductor and short across the two terminals. Do
this while the ignition is on or running and the bike will display an error code in the LCD
display in the speedo. c00 is no faults found whereas c34 is an injector problem with number 3
cylinder. All the error codes are listed in the factory manual. This little short will save you
purchasing Suzuki special tool 09930-82710 The Mode Select Switch. It effectively puts the
bike from 'User' mode into 'Dealer' mode.
