Hiya mate.

In the abscence of any other replies, the GSX1400 has the same problem from time to time and it is sometimes caused by moisture getting into the ECU link box under the seat. Not sure if it is in the same spot as yours but see if you can find the connecter nomrally under the seat, pull it apart and spray WD40 inside both connecters, reconnect and try again.

Oh, you haven't hit your kill switch off by any chance??

It means the bike is fucked and you need to replace it with a newer one...
You have taken too long to bin it...

Without knowing the code it could be anything, but I'd look at the action of the exhaust power valve. It's located quite low in the midpipe and can get gummed up, stopping it from performing it's self test at startup. Lube it up a bit (externally) and see if that helps.

There are methods of getting the failt codes without going to the shop, look up google with 'gsxr faultcodes' or similar.

To get those codes, you need to put the bike into dealer mode. In the rear tray, by the toolkit, is a plug with a rubber cover, remove the cover, and jumper the two connectors with a paperclip, or wire of some sort. then the FI on the dash will change to show a C code, which you can reference back to the trouble codes you have posted. Then you will know for sure where it lies.

If you have broadband, I suggest searching on KB for manual links. I have downloaded the 600 and 750 manuals, and they are worth their weight in gold. They walk you through the standard fixes for all the listed errors,
but to download, they are 120 odd megabytes.
