Hi everyone. Thanks for having me here. I'm a new owner of a black 2007 Suzuki GSX1400. I bought this bike from the Gold Coast and rode it back to Sydney in one day (850km for those not in the know). I bought him as my current bike, a black 2014 Honda Valkyrie, needs some major work on his gearbox and I'll be without him for quite a while it seems. Anyway, the GSX, with 67000km on the clock is in beautiful condition, but he does unfortunately have a gremlin in him that I'll have to sort out. On four occasions on acceleration, without warning and quite randomly, there'll be a sudden loss of revs and power for a few seconds that once lead to a stalled engine. After a couple of seconds of this, he then fires back up again. It's a bit startling and possibly very dangerous if overtaking. Am thinking air or fuel filter, a crappy sensor, plugs, injectors, battery etc.... I'll post about this in more detail elsewhere.
G'Day MATE and welcome to the nuthouse. I see your on to the problem solving on another thread. Good on you for introducing yourself first. :onya: :onya:
They're are plenty of wise men here whom will assist in your endeavours, quite willingly :hat: :hat:
Welcome Mate, nice bike
Welcome Motomate :cheers:
Gidday Motomate, welcome to the forum, great to see another Black in the fold! I read your post about the cutting out, I doubt it's anything to do with sensors, there's bugger all of them. I'd go with Snapeys suggestion on the connectors / wiring & also the fuel filter.
Easy pull out of the tank & back flush or bypass it entirely & go for an inline filter as suggested here https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=590.15
Also check the earths, they've been known to cause problems at times.
:welcome1:
To all things 1402 :cheers:
As already said go through a check list see what you find .
It will be something simple but untill it's found it'll be a problem.
I'd go with a good service ,check fuel filters and as many loom plugs as you can (don't forget the ones in the headlight)
Good luck a nice looking bike you have there . :cheers:
Welcome to the forum Motomate. :onya:
Welcome mate, nice (slow) bike (the blue and white ones are faster). Read your issue on another thread. As others have said most likely lp fuel filter ('teabag') blocked,or hp pump issues, although those low kms, unlikely to me.
Welcome - Croeso :)
Welcome to the forum :cheers:
I thought bikes were like ships and of the female notation - seems odd to call it a him/he! :8:

They are, nothing else could take that much time, money & attention to get a good ride out of them.
G'day fella. Welcome along. Take no notice of the blue and white brigade.
Black bikes matter :onya:
The fastest 14 to come out of Sydney is a black one, and it has no mod's. :stir:
G'day. :onya:
Another thieving mexican moving 1400's south across the border, eh? :stir: :stir: :stir:
