Overview |
Motorbikes Today |
The 2004-GSX1400 has not only been modified on
the surface. The most obvious difference that was easy to spot was the new
exhaust system, revisited from classic twin 4-2-2 to single (but longer) 4-2-1
pipe with a stainless steel silencer. The loss of the left muffler reduced the
weight of the bike by 3 kg (6.6 lbs) but also lowered the torque by 2 Nm.
The fuel injection system was revisited for a better fuel intake (better
acceleartion) at the lower speed range as was the automatic fast idle system.
An internally coded ignition key was added as an immobilizer system and the
aluminum cylinder walls were coated with something called Suzuki Composite
Electrochemical Material (SMEC). The front brake lever had now 5-step
adjustment (previously 6-step). Luminous meter needles.
The feel and the looks of the bike remained the same. The Suzuki logo was
changed to a single "S", as with all the other (except Hayabusa) Suzuki models
for 2004
The Red suspension springs you were not standard even outside Japan. An
all-black version was now available in Europe. As it had Black wheels and Red
shocker spring, the Japanese GSX1400Z special model had Gold wheels, Black
engine, Black headlight, Black Chrome exhaust and Black shocker coil springs.
Colors available: Pearl Deep Blue / Pearl White (LR5), Pearl Red / Solid Black
(CG9), Solid Black (B PJ)
