I agree - likelihood is as Seth says is that they just need re-seating Mark

Spray 'em with CRC Soft Seal, that'll close off any wee leaks.

I wouldn't think anything will change there Mark.  They are adjusted with screws from the rear.

If your airbox is naf, thought about pods?

I don't know if it would require a new map to be honest.  Can't see why it should though.  Blubber or Seth would know though.

This posting reminds me what happened to me 10 years ago, went to cold-start the bike, & whilst the button was still being pressed, there was a turbine-like whistling sound immediately followed by a loud whip-crack, right under the crown jewels, frightened the bejeesus out of me!!
This was the result, & upon inspection, I found the O ring to be very hard & brittle, now whether the was cause was BY the breakup or BECAUSE the breakup, I don't know.
The bike was only 5 yrs old & I bought it new, never been touched & at the time only had 5k on the clock, & i've never heard of this happening to others, the offending intake rubber had to be special order as well!! 
I DO have to grow old, I DO NOT have to grow up.

As far as I am aware air box is the same across all models - but would be a pig to change Mark, possibly engine out, as its not easily removable, this not easy to put back in place.

Just one thing that I can't quite get my head around - when you say if you spray the air box, the engine eventually stops - its not because the spray is getting sucked in through the air filter possibly? In fact could it be the air filter that's the issue, whilst it may look ok, may be worth putting a new one in for what it costs just to eliminate that possibility, as a lot easier than changing an air box over.

If you do decide to fit pods - http://gsx1400owners.org/forum_test/index.php?topic=257.0

Regards mapping for pods - I don't think the 14 needs it, but as others have indicated, Seth or Blubber would know

I would not recommend running pod filters on a stock suzuki map.

Maybe a yoshibox tune will suffice but that would still mean some dyno / rolling road time.

I had a yoshibox tune done on my 14.
I felt this was needed because I changed my link pipe and exhaust can. The operator  got the afr into acceptable values but NOT spot on.

The cost of this ease of mind was just below €200.

He recommended a Powercommander or the likes eg. Dobeck.
I later choose a Powercommander 5 with the Autotune module with future mods in mind. (GSX1700 with full akrapovic system and pods)  not all is realized but I am prepared.

Hope that helps

As for the original problem:

What Dave mentions....sucking the spray in via the air filter is a viable option.

Other option for sucking air: the airbox has a hose connection to the crankcase breather.  that hose could be loose to.

Just a thought.. The area you are spraying houses a sensor: the IAP. ( intake air pressure sensor )

The intake air pressure sensor is located at the upper frame between
the tubes and its vacuum hose is connected to the throttle
body.

This hose can deteriorate. Even the sensor housing can be cracked
