(one wonders - not - why the ZZR/ZX 1400 does not have linked brakes)
Ensure you report the failure to the federal road safety authority, as other have done. Kawasaki has replaced a small number of units free of charge as you probably know so they can investigate the failure.
What Maxdog said - The ABS units from series 1 & 2 are not interchangeable as the series 2 has 5 pipes (linked brakes) not 4, a different harness plug connector for it's electronic connection to the bike's ECU for traction monitoring/control.
If you look at the link below you will see the physical differences between the 4 & 5 pipe units. The European ZZR 1400 unit will fit a series 1 ZG 1400. Though it is a different part number the pipes and electrical plug are the same and it will work.

I forgot to add that the wheel sensors and rings are also different.
I cannot add more than I did above other than to say that the European ZZR14 2012-2016 has a different ABS unit, as the bike has traction control and so are not interchangeable with the non-linked (early) ZG1400.
Where in the world are you? I'd await a final answer from Kaw myself.
Yep I have 2008 (65K miles) with a bad ABS pump, Kawi part # 16082-0023. $1,270 for a replacement OEM. No luck finding one 2nd hand, must be like hens teeth. Kawi will not warranty this part because they claim I didn't change the brake fluid as required. Well I did it myself. So I don't have any proof. So I am SOL. The 2nd gen ABS part # is 16082-0041. So my conundrum is: I can find 2nd gen used ABS pumps cheap, well $150.They are not interchangeable
Are they interchangeable?

Look and fits perfectly. Bled it through and it functions fine. Except that after a 1/2 mile the abs light comes on. And the abs is disabled. Apparently the electronics knows this is not the correct pump. All this to say that the differences are more than meets the eye. Unfortunately...

I took my original abs pump for 2008 model apart. Trying to see if any way to fix the stuck rear brake solenoid valve. Once you remove the pump motor I see no way the reinstall it as the bearing on the cam stuck to the end of motor can't be removed (by me anyway). Turns out there was no reason to have needed to remove the motor in my case.
The solenoids are on the other side of the assembly. I cannot see a way to disassemble the solenoids. They are assembled with a non reuseable snap ring. Since the pump is bad this is not too big a tragedy. Just disapointed I cannot find a fix. So far I am only in $60 for the ZZR1400 pump I bought that isn't electronically compatible.
