Service details for a suzuki gsx1400 oilcooled engine
I think you mean a VS1400 or a VS1400GLP. I don't think there is a GSX1400.
Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock.

First, check and , if needed, change the spark plug(s), and oil. Always use the stock spark plug for your particular bike. Use 10w40 motor oil in the gear box. Don't use any synthetic oils, oil marked "EC", or oil with "special" additives. Change the oil filter if your bike has one. Changing the oil acts as the "filter" in bikes that don’t have an actual filter. Lubricate the chain. Lubricate the control cables with liquid graphite, ( Lock Eze ). Make sure the tires have adequate pressure. Check the spokes and snug up any that are lose. Aim the headlight and check all functions of the bike, kill switches, brakes, etc.
How about a top rating on this solution? Thanks!
Gsx1400z with only 3000km on the clock. have a
if it seem spongy then i would bleed the system of air. air can be compressed, fluid can not. how to bleed brakes is easy task make sure the brake fluid is topped off and located the bleeder screw on the caliper.
have someone press and depress the brake several times and hold it while you loosen the bleed screw. have them hold it firmly it will lose it firmness have them hold it and tighten the bleed screw before they let it back out.
repeat severals times making sure the fluid level is at max between bleeds
tighten the bleed screw and pump up top off fluid and you should have no spongyness
Can you tell me the fork oil weight for gsx 1400
It depends on what type of ride you want,,,i prefer 10weight and just a tad of air in the forks! Be careful when using a gas station air hose, you could blow a seal...just give a little quick burst till you see the forks raise up a little .you can use transmission fluid if you like also, it"ll work just as good.
Using to much oil on long trips 2004 gsx1400 suzuki
That is a lot of oil - is it blowing smoke? Is there any indication of where the oil is going?
The GSX engine is bulletproof - normally - and doesn't use much oil at all. I have serviced 35,000 mile bikes after 7500 miles and the oil has been spot on.
Looking on the net, it seems the 1400 is a bit vulnerable to oil-cooler damage. With an air/oil cooled bike this could be an indication of where the problem lies. The engine won't leak oil while stationary - well, maybe a drop... but when it is warm and under revs any hole in the oil cooler could be a direct exit point for oil. Look for stains on the exhaust headers - if you are driving and there is a leak, that'll be the first place the oil will go.
It would be the first place I would look - as well as oil cooler, pipes, connectors...
Run the bike for a while and try to inspect it to see if there are any leaks you can spot while the engine is running.
Hot rear disc
you should check you wheel bearings as movement in these could place your disc out of alignment when under load
hope this helps regards ian
Battery maintance
If you remove the battery from your bike DO NOT store it on a concrete or metal surface, place the battery on a wood or other non-conductive surface. Batteries stored on concrete or metal will discharge over time.
2ND GEAR SLIPPING
might need a new shift drum, either way it needs a tear down to find out, total rebuild
Are the outer forks the same on a gsx 1400 k4 as. K5 ?
Instructions
-
Take Down
-
1
Park the motorcycle on the kickstand or center stand and allow the exhaust pipes to cool completely.
-
2
Refer to your Suzuki service manual and organize the metric
tools needed to remove the baffle. On newer models, it may be necessary
to remove the tailpipe section to modify the baffle. On older models,
you may be directed to remove a bolt that secures the baffle in the
tailpipe.
-
3
Follow the procedure given in the manual and remove the
tailpipe section or slide-in baffle using the appropriate tools. Save
any brackets or bolts. Place the tailpipe or baffle on a workbench.
Tailpipe Baffles
-
4
Hold one end the tailpipe up to a light and look inside the
other end. Depending on the baffle, you may see very little light or
none at all. Modifying the baffle is a matter of opening up areas in the
baffle.
-
5
Chuck a 1/4-inch drill bit in an electric drill. Use a bit
extension if necessary to reach deep into the tailpipe with the drill
bit.
-
6
Place the tailpipe on a workbench. Use a towel or rags to
prevent scratching the finish. Insert the tip of the drill bit into the
tailpipe and drill a 1/4-inch hole in the baffle.
-
7
Hold the tailpipe up to the light again. Determine the
number of additional holes you want based on the purpose of the
modification. Drill additional holes in the baffle if needed.
-
8
Stand the tailpipe on end and tap it on the workbench to
clear the debris from drilling out of the baffle. Make sure all debris
is cleared out before reinstalling the tailpipe on the motorcycle.
Slide-In Baffles
-
9
Secure the outer end of the baffle in a bench vise with the
baffle extending to one side. The outer end has the threaded hole where
the bolt was removed to take the baffle out of the exhaust pipe.
-
10
Measure the length of the baffle and divide it by four. You
modify a slide-in baffle by cutting off a one-quarter section at a time
using a hacksaw. Mark the baffle at the one-quarter point and cut the
first section off the end.
-
11
Reinstall the baffle in the exhaust pipe using the saved bolt and the metric tool.
Start the motorcycle and determine if the modification produced the desired result.
-
12
Allow the exhaust pipe to cool completely before removing
the baffle for further modification. Most likely, cutting one or two
quarter sections will give you the result you want. Avoid cutting too
much off the baffle, or it will be useless.
Why my Suzuki TF 125 losses power in the midway? What are the causes for such loss of power?
What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap?
Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.
