More suspension questions
After turning 13k on the odometer of my 08 zx14, the bike no longer enters and exits a turn as one mass. The front and rear move independent of each other; the ride has become sloppy. I do not race so miles are all street. Will adjustments help at this point or are the suspension components at end of life?

Like everything else, moving parts loosen up with wear. Spring preload will relax in time and cause too much sag. Start there. Readjust it and keep riding. You should check your steering head and swing arm bearing slack too. The most common problem with handling complaints is a very worn front tire or too low tire pressures. I dont think your supension is worn out though.
