here or the old place folk always tried to help everyone
it seams easier here tho and due to the way its run here its been thought out so easier to find information.

i do find it quite difficult to post stuff on here tho i think that should be made more simple

:boogie: :boogie2:

I think the best part for me is the moving forward aspect.. I mean i loved the org, but it was getting stale, evident by the lack of energy.. This changed has sparked a long antisipated revival of old and new......

Now all we need is for Suzuki to do the same with the 1400!!

:cheers: :cheers: really is on me.
Title: Re: What are you enjoying most about this forum?
Post by: seth on Sunday, 05 February 2017, 08:38 AM
there is a lot of development of the good old 1400 happening
like your 1550
pcv  and the opportunities that gives
front end conversions
brake swops
just to name a few
only way suzuki will.make an update of yhe gsx1400 is if enough people ask for it
everytime i see a suzuki rep at a show i always ask what are they doing to bring out a replacement.
everyone else should fo the same  :onya:
Title: Re: What are you enjoying most about this forum?
Post by: gsxbarmy on Sunday, 05 February 2017, 10:09 AM
They already brought it out as far as they are concerned - GSX-S1000F  :thumbs_down:

Suzuki have just plain stopped development, their complete (current) range is pretty tired, which is such a shame, even the might GSX-R1000 is overshadowed by the Kawasaki, Honda and Yamaha offerings.

So chances of getting a 1400 replacement, which must sell in the US as well for it to be viable......I don't think so sadly  :sad:

There's always going to be a learning curve with any new software but we want to help you get used to it. I am going to do some setp by step tutorials, so if you can be specific about the problems you are having that will help me to make useful tutorials. CHeers :)

Vlad i dont think anyone is going to have issues with this software.. If they do it will only be the people who do not frequent the tinterweb regularly...

I like it because we're all back together again and sharing valuable information regarding the mighty GSX14.
Plenty of banter and fresh posts to catch up too :onya:

Still finding my way around at the mo although the setup is the same as the Suzuki Bandit forum.
Title: Re: What are you enjoying most about this forum?
Post by: gsxbarmy on Sunday, 05 February 2017, 08:01 PM
Indeed it's the same style used on the Triumph Explorer forum, which works well.

Having said that if Seth is having issues let's understand them - there may be ways we can suggest to better use the software - or he may just have hit an issue others haven't come across yet

@SETH: can you elucidate on your earlier post buddy please? Thanks

It's comforting knowing Barmy is nearby, it's a bit like being in the Automobile Club.
Plus little ideas like the grating in the Givi Radiator Guard someone did, looks great and I'm going to copy it.
I'm always interested in tyres and what people are using and why.
Lastly, as I am now up to 50 Solar Laps, I have to reel in the spending so now I sit at home polishing my bikes and reading about others more interesting days out. I look for pictures of Special Editions and pretend it's me.
