For those who in this thread have posted they have other tools, not included in or instead of the stock tool kit would you please head over here and let us know.   https://gsx1400owners.org/forum/index.php?topic=2756.0

So to clarify the thread linked above is for TOOLS only

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Std suzuki tool kit, front disc lock and nought else

[KiwiCol]

Cable ties (Zip Ties) & Insulation tape. Pocket Knife, Bungy cords. small socket set. couple screwdrivers, metric hex key set, sml can CRC, first aid kit, puncture repair kit, tire sealer, spare set of levers, fuses & original indicator relay. Room for a mini compressor (stripped back to naff all) but not always carried.

If I'm away for the weekend I'll also put a leg of Lamb, 3 cooked chickens, a loaf of bread & a tub of Marg!      yeah, or not.

[Hooli]

I'd forgot that, the original indicator relay is under my seat too. Normally anyway.

[DP1400]

There`s very little under my seat.
Importantly, I have a can of puncture repair/tyre inflator stuff. Two spare bungee straps; the original owners handbook (purely so that I know where i`ve left it!), and the original tool kit together with additional allen keys. I also keep a card taped under the seat with my basic insurance contact details in case of breakdown or accident, obviously nothing with my name and address on!
The bulk of the space is reserved for really essential items, ie. my wife`s hair brush; touch-up paint, etc. etc. the list goes on.....

I have a can of puncture repair/tyre inflator stuff.

Just a comment on that stuff, tyre shops normally refuse to plug a tyre if you've put that in. Something to do with it attacking the inside of the tyre so they can't promise their bung will never come loose.

[KiwiCol]

Thx Hooli, I never knew that. Cheers.

When I had my GSX14 I was impressed with the underseat storage and made the most of it.

OEM toolkit. Rarely used as the only useful thing in it was the plug spanner!
A small toolkit with Allen keys, pliers and various sockets.
Spare fuses.
Cable ties.
Tyre plugging kit inc gas inflation canisters.
Small LED head torch.
Mucoff visor cleaning kit.
Waterproof over jacket and trousers.
Disc lock.
Tracker unit.

I can honestly say that in 7 years ownership and 50k miles covered that I never used any of the tools whilst out on the road. I had two "break downs". One resulted in me and the bike being recovered and taken home(electrical short under the tank in torrential rain) The other was self inflicted by fitting after market levers and the bike wouldn't start with the clutch lever set to span setting 1. Caught me out a treat did that one.

It always felt safer though to have a few bits and pieces with me..Just in case

PS. I think the idea of carrying a spare brake and clutch lever is a good one.

[Tally]

Hey!@ froudy. That's a good idea about the spare levers , so good that I've ordered a pair from a company called MSA, o.e.m. levers in alloy £24.99+p,p or red,blue or black £32.99+p,p. Being a tightwad I got the alloy ones

[J16SDA]
