Your videos are a great way to reduce your blood pressure and stress levels, very relaxing. An oil change can take me 2 hours. It's a greater way to forget the goings on of a busy week.
Oil and filter (modul) 30-35 plugs ngk 35 and air filter 12 quid 82 pounds my end ..used same every service . No issues since I had mine del 2007 (2006 model ).Nice to see you have a 1400 join the club great bikes
A little TLC goes a long way, Del. Those pipes look suitable for a Church organ now. And Penny got us so close to the wrenching that I had to go wash up after watching.😁 I agree with the oil filter torque except when working on big diesels that spend their days bouncing around the beautiful roads in N.Y. City. If you didn't grunt a time or two while tightening them they would vibrate loose in a block. I had a young apprentice who learned that lesson the hard way. Thanks Del and Penny. Love everything about your videos. ❤👍👍
Hi Rick, you are so right there, having trained as a diesel fitter in the 1980's on the buses that run round London, they do indeed like to make a bid for freedom, unless you swing on them a little! But then everything on those engines is heavy duty... glad you like the bike and always love to hear from you, thank you for your kind support, D&Px
I've seen a few of your videos and have really enjoyed them, this one is no different. I know it was just you adjusting the bike to your spec, but I would love a bit more of an explanation over what you're doing, using and why. I admire the knowledge you have across a wide range of motorcycles, and would love to learn more from it. Would you consider making some guides aimed at younger, not mechanically savvy, bikers? Maybe a beginner bike series with something like a bandit or sv650? I'm 21, bike mad been riding for over a decade, got my first big bike (Suzuki 650 bandit), and love working with my hands but at my current state I don't know what to do with them!
Mine is officially ready for mot . Oil top up done inc new oem washer . The copper 1 I had (2 in a pack) allowed some seaping now seems bone dry . . The oem have an outer ridge/recess amd they crush together creating a better seal imo . And headlight bulbs reppaced (front &working ) . Wish me luck shouod be OK. Mt slave was a mess I'd check yours del if you've done yet done it ..piston out etc. . Came here to look at the washer you used tbh was curious ty
That bike looks mammoth.
I did my oil change, filter, air filter, brake pads last weekend. As soon as the rain stops I will do the spark plugs. I got mine off the bay 5% discount on the lot. Shame I didn't know about Wemoto deal.
My bike flies now it can breath freely :)
Cheers
Nice going mate👍, every engine needs love, and it's an investment in peace of mind aye !!
Absolutely a good tip. A Gorilla fitted one of mine from the factory.
When I went to remove the oil filter for the first time on my T595 it defeated everything I threw at it!
Ended up having to use the old Butcher’s method to get it off.
So now I have 3 different filter sockets to make life easier.
Ive never understood that, it's laid out in so many manuals to just tighten to half a turn from touch, or ive seen some recommend 12Nm..and that's what we use for M6 screws... so you never need to swing on them to do them up...!!!!
They most probably tighten them without oil on the gasket.
Another enjoyable visit to your workshop Del👍
Thanks buddy👍
Followed your suggestion in using a ratchet strap to hold the fuel tank up when removing with no help. Everything went well though it took a few goes to squeeze the fuel hose clips in to release the hose. Great Helpful videos.
Thanks for the feedback mate, im glad it helped you out.
Just to clarify for the new players at home, Dell didn’t take the beast for a 20 mile ride while the oil was draining out 😂
Lovely bike there Del, hope we get a good summer so you can put a few miles on the ol gal. Ride safe 💪
I hope so too Gordon, It's a glorious bike to ride !
@Delboy's Garage 😃👍 I have that same feeling every morning, I sling my not so young leg 😂 over the XJR1300 and head off to work. Bought her new way back in 2000, never dreamt that it would be the only bike I have owned for such a length of time, smiles per mile, baby, smiles per mile. 😉 Enjoy.
Nice looking bit of kit Del - I absolutely agree with not overtightening the oil filter - I think King Kong must have fitted mine at the last service in a local garage, I do it myself now!
Totally agree mate... he must have done a few of mine too, and maybe got his mate Chewbacca to help..!
Good job. Gorgeous gsx-14 ❤
Looking so much better and I love that sound.😊
Thanks mate, wish I had your long glorious dusty roads to ride it on, instead of our mud and rain!
@@Moonfleet41 I don't know how you cope with your winter and the Salt on the roads, it's a wonder there are any old bikes left. Cheers Greg
Great Video great job excellent tip with oil filter Del 💯👌👍
Thanks Chris👍
A friend owned one of these for 8 years. Brilliant bike, lasted the test of time. He had the suzuki racing colours i believe, the blue and white. Dare i say one of few bikes that DOESNT need a belly pan.
Had my blue n white (2006 model fe) for 15/16 years
Genius tip wrapping the cloth round to polish the exhaust pipes. Will be trying that out.
Heh, heh, that's always one of my favourite times after buying a new to me bike- removing all the strange decals and (no offense to anyone reading, lol) very often, quite tacky accessories that a lot of people add to their poor suffering steeds...
I have to agree buddy, i try never to judge, but some farkles are just not necessary.
The giant gixxer has always been a bike ive longed for. Will have to get one in blue and white one day :P
Good tip about the oil filter Del, you do the same as my Dad showed me when I was a youngster. Every bike I have had caused problems getting the oil filter off to the point where I have 3 types of filter wrench, depending on what I can fit on the bike. 👍
I have to disagree with the hand tight only oil filter, but only for the purpose of sharing my experience. I changed the oil on my Blackbird, on this particular occasion I decided to go with the hand tight only method. Up until this point I had done hand tight with just a little nip of the spanner. This is because I knew it should only be hand tight, but could never bring myself to accept that. I then rode it down the motorway to work, came back to it after my night shift to find a substantial amount of oil under the bike. So I tried to tighten the filter through the fairing, but it was solid. It was also solid when I tried to loosen it too. So it wasn’t leaking because I hadn’t tightened it enough. Of course I didn’t have those sort of tools to hand so I had to get my mrs to bring them to me in the car so I could remove the fairing and tighten it to get home. I’m just glad I spotted the oil before riding off down the motorway in morning rush hour traffic.
I will never hand tighten again and I’ve always used genuine Honda filters.
Great bit of advice Del! Your new 'project" looks and sound like quite a monster! Enjoyed. Cheers.
Thanks Shaun👍.. it sure is a "three shredded wheat" bike..!
I recommend buying a gold plug they have a lot stronger magnet that holds all of the small particles at the bottom of the sump.
Hey Del, when changing the engine oil, after a bike has stood still for 2-3 years - never started up the whole time -, would it be wise to drain the old oil with a cold engine? As I don't know if it's bad to throw the old oil through the whole block first not knowing the state it is in. Also are ngk iridium plugs a good idea when replacing the older version of the same plug out? Love your videos by the way!!!!
Yes, that's exactly what i would do after so long.. no need spreading all that round the engine.. drain it out, refill with fresh oil (and a filter) before you restart it.. Id also spin it over with the plugs out for a few turns first to wet the top end before you fire it up!
Love the Bike Del..look forward to seeing more of it … cheers …
Thanks mate👍
Bike looks and sounds like a beast...
Thanks buddy.
Looking good Del, excellent job mate. Penny and you have a great week. Cheers
Thanks mate👍, good to hear form you as always.
You can almost hear the bike sighing with relief as each tatty mod is undone. I’m safe now.
Enjoyed that , the bike is looking better already . I am amazed at how many bikes I have had where the filter is overtightened! Even from dealers ..
You and me both mate, seems like there's a universal paranoia that they'll come loose !
Such a gorgeous sounding bike, and it was good to discover that there weren't any dead badgers lurking inside that sorry looking belly-pan 😂
Sure thing mate, I do love belly pans, but they've got to be a bit better quality than that one and a bit more substantial!
Great video brother!!! makes me wanna have one of those bikes they sound amazing the exhaust system it's pretty sick. Also good tip on the oil filter, so true !!!!! stay safe guys. Cheers from New York.🎉
Good morning brother, great to hear from you as always... glad you like the bike, not so common in the States, but would be perfect for your long curvy canyons! Stay safe both of you, and have a good week! D&Px
Great vid, Del. There’s something enormously satisfying when doing the first service on your bike! Hope you both are well there!
🏍👍🏍
You're absolutely right, it's a great way to get to know it! We're doing ok, hope you are too!
@@Moonfleet41 yessir!!!
The pipes sure do look better & love the fact the oil ml is embossed into the casing Genius 😀
Pretty much standard on Japanese bikes, really helps when it's more then normal and you've got to buy the oil..lol!
@@Moonfleet41 I live in the USA. I have a 2017 Triumph Bonneville 900 LC. It takes 3 quarts 18 oz. to do an oil change. So the next oil change you are short 2 oz. as you know 32 oz. per quart (946 ml). Haha. My 2008 H-D Dyna 96 cu. in. is easy. Engine 2.5 qts., Trans 1 qt., Primary 1 qt. Take care and Ride safe.
Realized what was odd to me about this bike and I don’t think this model came over to Canada:). Nice bike!
I don't believe it did, which is a shame, as it's a great cruiser for big distances!
Nice video, thanks Del. I plan on servicing my 14 in the next month or so, the bike having been away since October. I’m wary of running it on oil (pre-draining) that’s been sat in it unused for a few months - what’s your advice? Cheers.
No problem at all with that mate, ive left bikes for 18 months before and it's till ok..just warm it up for five minutes, it doesn't need to be working temperature, just warm so the sediments are mobilised and captured so they come out with the oil.. Have fun with it and good luck.. Del.
That’s great, Del. Very reassuring. My first go at a bike service, so your advice is really appreciated. Cheers from Ireland.
I was half expecting you to say you had a gas/air leak in the downpipes to collector box, when you took the belly pan off!!!!
Phew!
Tilly the XJ900s sounds soooo sweet now, that theres no leaks anywhere in the exhaust system.
I was out all day bank holiday monday. Riding here and there in the hurricane winds!
I have noticed the tyre noise from the Karoo Street, but its nothing major. If the music and satnav is on inside the helmet, then I can hear it, even if its on low.
Q. Any recomendations for a place to head to for a new helmet?
My shark thats 14months old is annoying the crap out of me. I've now broken 4x clear visors and 2x tinted due to the way you have to take off and put on the visor. Its a problem lots of other owners have flagged up, but shark wont admit to or do anything about.
Sehr Schönes Bike.
Love the new horse in the stable......
Nice bike.👍
Thanks ✌️
What's that blue stuff you put on the screws ?
Hylomar
Are you aware of the clocks mod that incorporates a gear change and kill switch monitor? Great addition. Have had two of these bikes and whilst i tend to have 2-3 bikes and change them periodically, the 14 is the only one that always stays.
No i haven't heard about that clock mod, it sounds interesting ? i had a new one back in 2002, so im glad to have found another one in great condition.
Four totally different fasteners on one belly pan. Did they all have the same thread pitch at least? lol Harpic sure gets the job done. 👍
You noticed that then? They were indeed all M6 and what glorious selection! Two random screws, one engine casing screw and a battery terminal screw!... use what you have aye?
It sounds so good 😅
Thank you Becky, always good to hear from you, hope life is good!
Great video as always Del, I use that 10x harpic and it's good stuff for cleaning up the pipes ect: hope you and Penny have a great day and looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Don👍 can't beat the power of harpic aye..!!
@@Moonfleet41 to ture del, a friend gave me a load of old rusted tools that he was going to bin, I stepped them for a few days in 10x, washed them off and oiled them and now like new 😁
What did you use on the stainless exhaust? The liquid?
Harpic ! just make sure you wash it off with water after, get all residue gone !
@@Moonfleet41 A Loo cleaner lol, nice. I've used SOS pads in the past when the exhaust was really tarnished.
Looking forward to seeing her freshened up, that head light just dosn't look right though.
I'm hearing the theme tune to Black Beauty!
✌️❤️🤗
Ha ha.. Dammit, ill have that as Ear Worm and 3am now !
Whats that blue stuff you put on the plug??
Blue Hylomar !
Nice basic bike Del
Nick Australia
Cheers Nick, would love to ride it on them long dusty Oz roads!
Gorgeous black Gixxer. We will all love to hear it run on country lanes. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg
200!!!!!!!!!
Looks like they removed the black paint from the cases too.
Just the clutch case, the front two are bare ally from new.. and i think i will repaint the clutch case back to black !
Good call on removing the belly pan!
Have you considered removing the decal on top of the tank?
Yes indeed mate, all the decals on top of the tank are coming off, the silly one about wearing a helmet (like we wouldn't wear a helmet these days!)... and the pointless one that says 'unleaded', like you can buy 4 Star anymore!
I have one gsx 1400 ... 2006 and it's already 12 years whit me. I put him up for sale 2 times and when buyers came I gave up ... I just can't sell it, it has become part of the family❤💪
Ha ha, then i think you should keep it Tomislav, you clearly love your bike and that's wonderful mate !
@@Moonfleet41 I will certainly not sell it hahaha and my wife is also against the sale, thank God... many greetings from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the city of Mostar. I relax with your videos and especially now that they are about the gsx 1400 ihaaaaa just keep going 💪💪💪
Great video Del, question about using bleach on downpipes, I bought some for my downpipe, as I, ve seen it used on previous videos, do you use a normal rag or like a fine scotchbright pad to clean up, could you please advise me on this
Hi Andy, i just used a cloth to get most of it off, and just a little scuff on the really stubborn bits with an old worn scotch pad, nothing too aggressive... then polished up with Autosol !
@@Moonfleet41 thank you so much, I had some used scotch pads, thanks, Andy
You made a nice entrance riding on the ramp Dell 💪
And as always there is always a learning moment in your video's 😊
Thanks buddy! 😃, glad you enjoyed it. !
Hi Delboy - do you have a link for those mirrors you’ve put on - they look smart.
I don't know much about this model of bike but she sure looks like a great ride and platform for many personal fit/customizing videos! Another educational and entertaining video, cheers to you both!
Thank you Allen, im glad you enjoyed it, it is indeed a great black canvas, and a really simple bike to work on ! have a great week and keep safe. D&Pxx
Wemoto do good deals, that's a really good price for all the service items-' bile sounds really nice. All the best guys 👍👍
Hey Geoff, you're not wrong, I've just ordered another big box of parts for the bike, there are always some great special offers to take advantage of... have a great week, D&Px
@Delboy's Garage it's raining here as per usual, the new bike is lovely, nearly bound a new Bandit in 2005 when I came back from Oz, I like Suzukis 👍
🤘🙌🤘
Using a cat litter tray as a catch pan too?
Yeah, damn right.. £2 in 'Lidl middle aisle'..!
A good tip for the oil filter.👍
Great job as always. :)
You mean your not supposed to tighten up your oil filter till the metal krinkles? Damn. LOL
Hi Dell was that harpic toilet cleaner you used to remove the rust .off steel ?
It was indeed...
Great work Del as always, I love those muscle bikes, got yourself a jem there. 👌👍
Thanks Peter👍
That slow, trickling draining of the oil that went on for more than a few seconds after most of the oil was gone reminds me of something... but my forgetfulness won't let me remember exactly what it reminds me of...Youth is wasted on the young!
I think we all know what it is brother, old age is nightmare aye?
@@Moonfleet41 Hey, getting older beats the pants off the alternative :) Taking 3 hours to take a pee sure beats taking a dirt nap! :)
@@tommylitchfield3450 True Dat brother !
I've been watching this channel for many years, and I have to say the GSX1400 is probably my most favourite of bikes you have Del.
Thank you Brian, we've been really surprised at just how popular it's been !
Kwel video… planning drain the forks??
Yes at some point, it's on the list !
1400, hummm can I convert the current Katana to a 1340???
I would raise an inquiry with TTS they would be the right company to do such a job !
Good call, thanks for the tip now it's just a matter of how much...
Did you honestly put loctite on a sump bolt?! 😂😂😂😂
No, Blue Hylomar !🙄🙄🙄🙄
Got the same service kit for my 2004 ZZR600 from Wemoto a few weeks ago.
Reading my mind when you removed those tank/knee pads and stickers, bar end mirrors, and belly pan, now Suzuki looks way better, especially those four stainless headers pipes
My thoughts exactly mate... some designs just look right they way they are aye ! no need to farkles !
@@Moonfleet41 Yes, simple muscle bike, always kinda liked them mostly in stock form, except exhaust of course :)
Did I see you using toilet cleaner on the pipes..?
Harpic on stainless... look it up !
hi del when did you get this one been off line for a while m8 but i do like this bike great tip about the oil filter m8 so whats the plan for this bike atb m8 iain
Hi Iain, only just got this last week, if you check the play list there is only one video before it.. so you can jump up to date !
@@Moonfleet41 cheers bud
Whoa! That thing is a beast - & with some tasteful blue & white 'slabside' plastics* & a turbo kit, you've got 'Retro-on-Roids '23. in the bag! (*Replica plastics, originals will cost more £££ than your house!)
Kneepads - Former owner's anti-theft ruse? "Yep, I'm 6'11", don't touch my horse." - seemed to work.
- or maybe they were 4'10" 'Klingons', who absolutely relied on their rubbers as thigh-grips? Y'all : )xx
4'10" Klingons!.....That paints a picture right there..lol! Doesn't have the same ring as a "5ft Ferengi" !😂
The Ferengi ride bikes? - or just sell off the ground that it's stood on? - they've more rules of acquisition than the tax man! : )
When i noticed that clutch cover had been stripped back to metal my first thought was its been dropped at some point, bet you gave a sigh of relief when you took them tank pads off to find its ok lol
Yeah, i did for sure, no signs of drop damage on the bike at all.. not sure about the casing stripped bare.. may have to deal with that, they look so much better in black.!
@@Moonfleet41 if there in decent nic I'd be sending them to a plater, look forward to see how you address them, safe riding del
Del I have always done my own servicing, present bike b-king can be a nightmare especially the plugs n caps and air filter bike was made by little Japanese hands not my yeti hands😊
Very true, they do like to make things cramped aye... one of the things a like about Harleys, made for clumsy hands..lol!
You really drowned that filter. How can you screw it on without leaking out when it's filled to the brim? Also I think polishing the exhaust would be the LAST thing to do given the position of the oil filter...
There's only a tiny spillage if you spin it on quick, maybe no more than a tablespoon full, and the benefits of priming the filter far outweighs a tiny spillage.
Hi Penny and Del. Another great video! I've got lots of stuff to say about this one. First, how nice that bike sounds - so sweet, just like a big inline four should. Second, that was quite an assortment of bolts holding the belly pan on. No two alike! Third, you can get a that oil filter with a nut on the end - the HF 138RC - not for tightening but makes them so easy to remove. Fourth, good to see you priming that oil filter. It's a great way to prevent oil starvation on startup. Well, I've said a mouthful. Take care, my friends. Be well and ride safe.
You're right, what a glorious fastener collection, that was impressive, did you notice there was an engine casing screw and even a battery terminal screw in there.. but hey, we've all done that, what ever works in a pinch right?.. And good call on the filter nut, arent they a simple and obvious addition?, why don't they all have them !!? but same as the air filter, i would have preferred a washable one, but that was a really good value kit, and that's what it came with.. ok for now as it all needed doing and i couldn't afford to be extravagant with all the other parts i want to buy for this bike.. Thanks again buddy, glad you enjoyed it. !
Another advantage of the 138RC is a slightly finer filter mesh.
Should you notice the slightly smaller diameter in the inlet of the HiFlo air filter with a long tube inwards compared to the OEM part. I asked HiFlo: The filter was made after the pattern of the 2001 model. Suzuki changed the filter slightly after that. However, the HiFlo should have no effect on performance.
Didn't realise that the oil can take that long to drain! I usually leave it draining for 20 minutes 😮 Bike looks much better with those mirrors on - those bar ends were too high and in the wrong place as you rightly said mate!
Surprised me too mate, usually most oil is out and finished in 20 minutes.. but it just kept coming..lol! id slowed to s drip, so i changed to the pink tray, and look how it still made a fair size puddle..! Glad you approve mate, soon be spring for some fun rides aye !
Also good just to get the bike up on the bench and have a good look at everything. Its funny how one person spends time and money getting it 'their' way, just for someone else to reverse all the changes. You'll be painting that bare metal clutch cover back to black before you know it! ;)
Always
You're dead right.. !
😂 4 different bolts holding the belly pan! Clear indication of a hack job.
Yeah, i try never to judge, i guess the guy used what he had..! although the battery terminal screw did make me smile..lol!
Everyone loves a bito beef cake, BEEFCAKE!!
Hi Delboy - do you have a link for those mirrors you’ve put on - they look smart.
