  1. I had an efe for about 13 years..loved it..it eventually died and I picked up a cheap 1100F..it was ok..fast but dull as dirty dishwater.The power delivery of the air cooled 1135 is far superior and way more fun ..I swapped the 1100F for a BSA500 A7 and now have another efe. Get the efe engine fixed, it will be worth it
  2. Hi , need to replace/ my front brake master cylinder on Bandit 1200. I am now using it as a track bike. Looking for best tried and tested inexpensive options.I already have steel braided lines and will be getting new rotors/discs..I have standard 4 pot calipers that have been rebuilt,new pistons and seals.Not racing ( yet lol ), just out having fun. Thanks
  3. I would not bother, the standard head on the EFE was a ground breaking winner, tried and tested ,abused and still being used in racing. Spend your money and time on tuning that awesome engine...gas flow, porting, big bore kits ,carbs,air filters,exhaust system etc
  4. I had a GS1000 that I put a GSX1100 box section swinging arm on,upgraded the shocks [ditched the heavy air assisted bollocks] put progressive spings in front forks and played with oil and air space. Fitted a fork brace. Custom made seat and a Power Bronze 'Bol d'Or fairing. She handled really really well...next step was engine improvement, was shattered when doing 90mph and a mate passed me ,two up on the back wheel of LC350 [ they had just come out ] ...Alas some scum bag stole her .. I then bought an EFE..OMG that engine is awesome....loved my efe ,but I don't thing it ever handled as well at the GS. Go for get that 16 valve beast in and loose that 8 valve slug
  5. Been doing the copper grease ever since I went from drum brake to disc brake,30 plus years...there will always be know it all knobheads lol
  6. Thanks, I had been told the 1000k 7/8 would fit. Just had some one offer up the 750 one but I will decline.
  7. Hi does anyone know if a GSXR 750 k rear shock will fit on a 1996 1200 Bandit ? If it does is it suitable with weight difference of the two motorcycles.
  8. It increase with speed but smooths out at around 3000rpm. I did notice it though mildy when in 5th and just burbling along at around 2500,doen hill, no load on engine,gearbox etc.
  9. Hi Bluedog, I just reread your post and although I read your post llast year I neglected to thankyou for your onput. You did hit the nail on the head. I had previously owned an EFE that i bought in 1993 and rode heaps for the next 20 years. Great bike with very adequete standard suspension for the bike. So I am aware of how versitile the Bandit can be.. I have plenty of info now tto make the Bandit more useable all round. Thanks
  10. Hi my Bandit has just started to have quite a definate clunk when pulling away ,the clunk repeats in time with engine revolutions and dissapears at around 3000rpm..at first i thought it was issuse with chain and sprockets but chain is adusted fine and is fairly new along with the front and rear sproket. The gearbox runs fine all the way through to top and down again until under 3000rpm. Do I have a serious problem...is gearbox likely to go bang soon ?
  11. Hi, I am after any advice on what front end to replace the standard EFE ..I have been told that Kwaka ZX9 yolk and forks fit .. what taper bearing kit would still work with out any mods being made to the headstock/ frame etc. Thanks
  12. Cheers dude, cams and chain in now just gotta torque em ,then do valve clearances...could have her back in frame tonight
  13. I assume you mean the ignition pick up point...so I would follow the manual intructions using the centre of those two ignition pick up at 9 and 3 o clock.. , thanks .
  14. Hi I am fitting new cams and cam chain to my1984 GSX1100 EFE, engine is all assembled apart from cams . The manual I have gives instructions and pics for the previous ESD model..I am not to sure as to where the T mark should align to to set the cams . Any one able to clarify this for me please
