New User - ANOTHER Aussie.

About to take ownership of a new to me GSX1400 K4 - looking forward to many years of ownership and fun with the big old beast. My mate who owned a ZRX has been ear bashing me to get a big UJM and I've been hunting one down or a Zephyr for a Sanctuary style fun. Cheers everyone, see some of you out there!

Welcome Mate enjoy👍Where in Oz?

G'day P you've chosen THE UJM in a GSX1400. Most others have 5 speed gearboxes. You'll never be looking for 7th lol 😂
Welcome to the nuthouse 👍🍺🍺

I'll upload some pics when she's home. Hopefully over the weekend. 40k k's been sitting a little while so I've got a little bit of work to get her on the road - fork seals, brake lines and fluid, pads and some blinkers.. parts are ordered - so straight to work on saturday!

Haha - I hear I won't be doing much down shifting on the 14 either, sounds like she'll crack on from most gears.

Sounds like you know your way around bikes, but make sure you drop the yokes out & check/grease the steering bearings while you've got the forks out. The Suzuki factory appeared to have a grease shortage & they often go rusty, especially the lower one. Oddly they often feel ok when turned until quite bad.

Another Aussie!  Where abouts in Oz?

Welcome.

I'm a big fan of the Zephyrs, I've had a few, but the quite tame 750's are the only one with proper old Skool lines, the 11 is just odd looking and has an 8 plug head and ugly frame castings etc.

The 14 is a far better bike than the Zephyrs. The ZRX is an interesting alternative, but I'd still take the GSX.

Of the ZRX, XJR, CB and GSX the GSX is the only one I'm watching the sales pages for.

Welcome Uncle-P. Once you've done your maintenance and servicing. You will have a bike that is the envy of many. They are still quite the head turner.
Enjoy
