  1. If you have a member name or link to the thread would be much appreciated? I’ve had a google of using bandit 1200 bottom end with 1100 top end.
  2. How different is the bandit bottom end to the gsx1100f? I ask because I have a bored set of barrels, low comp Mtc pistons, rods, and turbo I was saving for a 7/11 project.
  3. Cylinder 2+4 have this in the both bores. Feels completely smooth, but obviously corrosion. The bike had been stood outside for a while, could also be condensation from not running the bike Thanks for all your help guys I’ll have to weigh up what to do with it I really didn’t want another project.
  4. Done another compression test, 110 ish psi across all 4 clyinders, 1+4 being around 115psi. Engine was ran up to temperature this time. I also borrowed a leakage tester from our garage. I’ve followed the instructions and apparently leakage is low between 25-30% 4 clyinders. it is a sealey leakage kit so whether it’s any good?
  5. I will tony I have a decent pressure gauge, just need a reducer to get to the 1/8” bsp of the tester body. It made good compression with oil in the bores which is unfortunate. But if it’s under reading that could be OK
  6. Although that would be lovely… it’s a W reg half faired in maroon Can anyone advise on a cost effective repair for a all round hack?
  7. I done a compression check on my 1200 blandit, WOT I’m getting 110psi ish across all 4 cylinders. Its a W reg and 30k on the clock, Mileage backed up by the mots. few cc’s of oil picks up compression to 150psi. It’s the cylinders right? Oil like that can’t help the valves seal? bike wasn’t screaming hot. it answers the question why it’s always been a pig, I just want some input in case I’m missing something Bike has always been rough cold, spitting back, rough coming on the revs, once warm it’s OK ish. Carbs have been ultrasonically cleaned by Jim at super bike surgery, valves clearances done and carbs are balanced. standard zorst, air filter, and new plugs thznks tom
  8. It’s not a bad shout, but I would like to keep the vac petcock, because I’m awful at remembering to turn it off
  9. Can anyone recommend a rebuild kit for a 00 bandit fuel tap? Fowler’s part list only do a complete tap?? But as you can see from the picture i just need that seal but I assume it’s a complete part with diaphragm. Are they all the same? I see all balls make a k1 upwards edition.
  10. Ok... why are people so against the helical cut gears? I’ll add this was in relation to the F lumps reading up on it (some of which comes up from posts on here) I’ve heard of clutch’s coming through the side of the case etc but then this is the internet... id rather not have to buy a crank, clutch basket if mine is fine to use Thanks
  11. I’m referring to crank and clutch should of put this in oil cooled sorry admin!
  12. I have had a google.. I would like to change the gsx1100f engine i have to straight cut gears out of the gsxr. Can someone talk me through what I’ll need to change? ive had my F cases vapour blasted for paint, then I started reading about the side loads with helical gears and big power. I’d rather not buy another engine if that’s the case. thanks!
  13. Fair enough, I’ll stop being nosey. All them solenoids had me intrigued
  14. Ha I was just about to update this.. I can’t help you with your problems, accept check check valve clearances, plugs, compression, any air leaks Right I’ve gone and adjusted all valve clearances, 0.2 exhaust and 0.15 inlet. Started up, and I THINK it’s cured!! I think my vision got narrowed in on them carbs, because of the parts I found missing but you live and learn! I can highly recommend the SMC24 from squealy made the job a doddle!
