Hi everyone,my name is Simon and I'm from a place called Ossett in West Yorkshire.
Just bought my 14 at the weekend. I got a 4 plate in Black and Red 20k on the clock.
I got some good info from the Alternative GSX1400 page on fb which helped me checking the bike out.
I did not pay top dollar for this bike and did some heavy negotiating. I found a few issues at the time of purchase and a couple after.
I realize this is an 'introduction'post so i'll not start detailing any problems I've got ,but I will say that simply by reading this forum so far I've got a good idea how to proceed.
If I have any questions i'll be sure to ask and i'll post some pics when I can :hat:

Here's all the pics i have at the moment
Nice lookin machine. Those stubby carbon cans will make it sound very nice too! :onya:
very nice Simonic! :onya:
Very nice - yes cans both sides like that look awesome !
Even better, perhaps, than my 4-1 akro.
Welcome Simonic. Nice looking machine. I'm also a fan of the stubby cans. :onya:
Thanks for your comments gentlemen.
The mods that the bike has are the mods I would have chosen,i also got the stock parts too,including the Suzuki exhausts.
The Delkevic's do seem loud at a standstill but not so much on the move. There are no baffles in them either.....
I've ordered a few parts which will be with me this week I hope. The plugs and air filter look tired and it's running a bit rough so I've pulled the injectors and sent them for a service.
If your injectors are getting cleaned/serviced you'd be aswell Also cleaning the "tea-bag" low pressure filter and high pressure filter on the fuel pump with carb cleaner .
There is loads of info on how to in the forum just do a quick search .
:cheers:
Seth
that would be "Yorkshire tea" and not Tetleys I assume ?

Thank You Sir,i was, in fact reading about that on here just yesterday. I intend to get on with it on my days off next week.
Once you've done those bits balance the throttles & set both TPS. It should run sweet after that.
Welcome Simon,
As a polite request could you take those original exhausts to the local tip and send us a photo of them crushed!
One pair less to worry about 😀

( I sent you the info on FB👍)

Thank You. No doubt there will be a thread on here with info on how to do this. I'll look it up when I get that far....waiting on parts (and time off work)

Red,after listening to all the prices for old Suzuki exhausts on fb recently,i'm going to keep those warm and dry in my loft and sell em for my pension.
Thank you for the info via fb,it was a great help
