GSX1400 Model Range 2002 - 2008
I've called this page the GSX1400 range 2002-2008 purely because the K7 was still being sold well into 2008 and early 2009 (at time of updating July '09) Only Australia and NZ has the K7 & ZK7 "Special Edition" models and selling into 2009, The GSX1400 is not part of the official Suzuki 2009 line up in the UK or Europe.
 (see also UK GSX1400 Brochure page and Spec's & Paint codes page for further information)

Above and below is the full range of Blue & White model changes, changes of each year code consisted of different colour schemes which makes them instantly recognisable for the Blue/White models. The K2 was the only model to have the gloss black side panels, K2 and K3 B&W's had the sought after white wheels, K4 models on has Black wheels and red rear shock springs and red 1400 decals on the tail piece, also early B&W K4's had Suzuki written on the tank where as later B&W K4's just had the "S" Suzuki logo. Mechanically there was a few minor changes from K2 to K3, headstock bearings went from ball bearing to taper bearing type, rear shockers altered, K2 had a grey nylon type ring around the spring preload, though both shared the silver springs. The lights were later hard wired with no on off switch for the K3 on and replaced with a hazard light switch. K4 is the first twin can model to be mentioned in the brochure to be fitted with catalyst exhausts.

GSX1400 Major Upgrades for 2005 (K5 on)
The most noticeable cosmetic change for the GSX1400 came for the K5 onwards in the form of a 4 into 1 catalyst exhaust system, also the GSX1400 had a immobiliser (Suzuki Advanced Immobiliser System), A transponder "chip" in the Ignition key, The needles on the Speedometer and Tachometer are now translucent and glow in the dark from the LED backlight of the dials!. The Fuel injection system was also remapped for the (horrifyingly large!!) new catalyst exhaust system nicknamed "Bazooka". Thankfully Suzuki introduces the "Dual Oval Yoshimura" exhaust can in spring 2006 as a dealer fit option as part of the "Final Edition" (FE) range of the K6 1400's. Note- some 'new old stock' K5 models also became available under the FE range though not an official FE, Another change came in the for of the Diagnostic connector, which went from 2 pin to 4 pin K5 onwards, click on the FAQ's & Fault Codes page for more details on how to access fault codes.


GSX1400 K8
      

2008 GSX1400 ZK7 "Special Edition" Model
This is the latest offering on the global Suzuki web site unveiled at the Tokyo motor show billed as "GSX1400 Special Edition". Unofficially known as the "K8" but is officially badged as the 2008 ZK7 model. After checking with Suzuki  websites all around Europe, Australia and Japan, only Australia/New Zealand have the GSX1400 listed in 2009 though still in K7 guise.  The K6 was set to be the last in 2006 in the UK but then in 2007 the K7 was introduced and remained on sale until early 2009, Unfortunately we shan't see the "Special Edition" ZK7 officially for sale in the UK as we already had the "Final Edition" in K6 and K7 versions.
