Hi guys! Can someone explain me what means with this reply : ? "The requested item will fit if your motorcycle model is GY71A
and your engine model starts with Y701."
My engine model start with Y701 but i dont find GY71A in my 1400.
My 1400 is from Sweden.
Thanks for reply.
Hi ya. GY71a is the Japanese model number for the GSX1400. I just typed GY71a into Google & it came up with lots of Japanese pages & images of GSX1400. Used Google translator to open & read page, yep, just their model number for it.
One thing I did notice was they say it'll do 28Ks / Litre of fuel!!!! Astonishing, mine does nothing like that. Mind you, to be fair, I don't ride it at 60kph like they did in their test. Don't think there'd be any owners in the world would ride their 14 at a constant 60Kph on the open road. May as well have a scooter!

Constantly 60 in 6th gear then 28l/km sounds plausible. :lol:
Reminds me of the stickers on new cars with their unrealistic low fuel consumption/emissions
I don't know what you are going on about. Those figures are right. 28 litres / km right? :grin:
Andre has it a bit dislexic, it's 28K/L being stated, not the other way round. I actually tried that speed yesterday in top gear, was just under 2000rpm. That'd be so mean on the engine, riding it like that. In fact, I did feel so mean for doing it, I had to let her sing in 3rd & 4th until she felt happy again, and, because she was happy, so was I. :smitten: Big grin after that blast! :boogie:

Yeah mate I figured but I reckon with some effort you'd be able to approach that (28l/km) .... briefly... before the engine exploded.
28kms x 22litres = 616kms per tank.
Thrifty :onya:
A far cry from the 150 kms on a tankfull that l managed one day. :facepalm:
On a run and when I am NOT with anyone I have several times had 54mpg (UK mpg).. That's 86.9km to the gallon
That's riding legally and on a run with no cold starts..
I think that's good enough for a bike like ours..
P.S I ahem all ways ride legally :devil:
Best I've done is 51.5mpg (5.5L/100k) Mind you, I've never been trying to do an economy run either. Reckon if I did, I could get better than I have so far, but I like the adrenaline too much.

My spell checker didn't catch that one :rofl2:
Best I have done is 5.1L/100km (19km/L), 6.6L at the worst. My 1st 14 used over 8L because I was a maniac rider then :twisted:
We don't have emission testing down here. Noise if it's loud, but otherwise just mechanically sound.
Yes, to get 8L+ you'd have to be riding it very 'hard' all the time. (also known as caning the shit out of it)
Sorry Col, I took the emission sentence out. Since you read it already I kinda put it here again.
Mine is running a bit lean as I got 0.37 CO on last emission test. Not a reliable measurement compared to dyno but still indicative as to lean state. Should be more like 1.0 to 1.5. Legal Max is 4.5. I have plans to make it a bit richer.
Bung a dirty air filter in it?
Nope, change the thermistor in the air temperature sensor to give ca 5% richer mixture.

"Caning the shit out of it" fits it very well. My current 14 is treated very well though.
mine is always pretty much same. on a long run nearly 400 ks per tank, everyday around 360/370. uses exact same whether 91/95/98. bloody amazing. no. its not lean. my mates k7, same as mine, goes 420/430 on a tank. goes exact same as mine. no idea why.
