Hi all, I'm a relatively new biker, this is my second bike after starting on a triumph Street triple 675. I've always wanted a GSX1400, pleased to say I managed to get the business case approved by the missus and bought one this week. Looking forward to speaking to everyone! Happy riding. :hat:
As a very old biker, but also noob to GSX1400 owners org, welcome Bradders!
Cheers, Seb
Welcome Bradders, we like pictures, please post up photos of your GSX1400. I had the Daytona 675 in tornado red, awesome bike. I do like the street triple and the 1050 speed triple as well.
Gidday Bradders, great to have you join us, have fun exploring the forum & your 'new' bike. :cheers:
G'day mate and welcome to the nuthouse :cheers:
Pictures will be required as evidence to satisfy the luddites :whatever:

Hi all
Thanks for the warm welcome, i reckon i may be suffering a bit with the fuel starvation issue, so im debating, clean the filter or drill out and go for external mod. Love the bike, its never leaving my garage, my long term plan is to get it spotless and keep it that way
I'd say try the easy way first, if still a no go, do the bypass mod.
Welcome Mate, maybe buy the cheap internal filter, very cheap, think it was Hooli who found them.
Yeah search ebay for 'busa filters, you can get copies for about £20-25. They fit 14s fine, the only difference is they have two brass inserts in the top where the 'busa fuel level sensor fits. Much better value that £170+ from Suzuki for a genuine 14 one.
While you're in there, wash out the teabag too. Always put a smear of rubber grease on the big O-ring where the filter fits to the metal pipe too, I managed to split a filter once because that O-ring jammed pushing it back together. Oh & tie a bit of stainless wire or a cable tie around the filter to hold the white clip that fits the pressure relief valve as they've been occasionally known to fall off.
I can't take credit for the info. Someone else found it first, maybe on a FB group.
I just did a quick ebay search.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285794895127?_nkw=suzuki+busa+fuel+filter&itmmeta=01J6C0DK357W3T71NFJV94Y5PT&hash=item428ab40517:g:drIAAOSwaS5mC-Bz&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnzXCREhFjiTIiActGkFvGfqPo2s3A3bRia%2FhjiiVnVluBs9n83rxlfRSbAVt%2FNuS0ZS88zz22R2YOahZnuV8BM%2FDtQijVipM%2FyoQH2yMenyBKeRljZ9O7E%2FrPBPnQz3VZ%2F0QNjKFFMRaaWHOSJsNVxRUdo%2FUjExHr1F774wvYL5I77OJyDe%2Bd7%2FxzvDTqIh4LJhz%2BS8zTyDdd31eEzeiV8scN0Rh19SWEL%2FsqUzpWRd4xstvtzImIH5xTKPhUNcXVbifkCA%2BYDzK4Rkr4SE9cVqrx85YLzdhbs3pqAsiIuWw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM1rG2gLNk

Cheers, well I eventually too the plunge and did the external fuel filter mod. The first ride out I noticed a more lively feeling engine and better, more smooth running through out the rev range. But, it still stuttered occasionally, so I put in a fuel additive to clean th engine liqui moly, after about half the tank of shell v lower and this went through I stopped getting stuttering. I've topped up with BP ultimate and so far so good ok the last ride yesterday. I'll keep everyone posted but (hopefully) I may have cracked it. I still have a new air filter and spark plugs to fit, but I'm trying to do one thing at a time to get a feel what if any difference each change makes. If it happens anymore I'm tempted to get the Injectors ultrasonic cleaned, has anyone tried this? Was there any improvement ?
Welcome Bradders, this was in my shed for a while 955 Daytona .. it was my sons 😂 my body doesn't bend to ride bikes like this.
Oh and we LOVE photos 👍👍
