so has this bike run with that specifice igntion siwtch ever?????? 1st thing id check is the secondary earth plug for the loom, small spade connector just after main earth connection near the batery, if thats unplugged or badly corroded it wont fire... 2nd is do a volt drop check on the battery, if the battery voltage goes much below 10/11 volts when cranking then the cdi wont spark anyway, had this a couople of times with b12's with batteries that wont hold a full charge, they look fine static at 13 or more volts, but when truning the motor over it drops right down..

but that wont tell you if the bandit switch is duff, the b12 cdi wont work with the gsxr ignition switch if it dosent have the correct resistor.

Fook me that is a long way norff, nearly in Scotland.....!!!! If your short of bikes, Chubbs, you can borrow Brian, Im sure we can get it up there some how, but ill be working away, I think straight after crimbo... I might even clean it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Slim..

was it a pain to jet?? no i took it to a dyno and had it set up properely, that was about 8 years ago, all ive done since is clean them once and balance the cabrs every year.. works a treat, pulls well.. many years ago i spent 2 days with a big box of jets and a dyno jet kit, got it running well, or so I thought, had it dynoed later and the improvment wass amazing..

Can a mk1 B12 run well without the airbox ? Yes

im 64, so i reckon I would qualify age wise, but deffinetly not fast enough nowadays.. Ill leave it to you youngsters..

so what age do "seniors" start from???

Sub 2 minute lap!!! Good man

Not me shipmates, I know bugger all about air cooled stuff

depends if you haved a standard old bandit shock, how fat are you, do you ride 2 up?????? Ive got a standard one here with an under tray and it shows 160 mm top of tyre to undertray, and that hasnt got any marks of the tyre hitting???? You can always raise the ride height in the rear anyway... Only way to be absolutely sure is to take the spirng off the shock and refit it and lower it down onto the bump stop..

Same here Brian,

Yes I did mean 50 mm, it’s old age you know, can’t remember my name some days..

25mm ally angle from ebog, 15 quid, cut it to fit, enough to make top and bottom brackets. much cheaper than bought ready made ones.

Yup 19 row, an8 and 10, some people say 8 is too small but I’ve has an8 on my bandit for Donkies years and it’s fine

Yup make all the hoses myself from torques bits, easy peasy..

If you get an earlier flat one it will be over 30 years old!!! get a new one like this on an old 7/11 i did ages ago..

what is the accurate distance betwen the hole centre???? GSXR 600/750 SRAD 356mm GSXR 750 00-03 325mm 04-05 332mm GSXR1000 01-02 329mm, 03-04 332mm, 05-06 319mm, 07-08 315mm GSXR1300 Busa 99-06 330mm 750 slingshot 88-95 312mm 1100 Slingy 88-98 312mm

Couple of bandit i made earlier with water cooled footrests on,

Cheers shipmate

Afternoon water cooled chaps..... anyone with a manual tell me the oil capacity of the fork legs please. Cheers fatbloke

mk1 and mk2 600 and 1200. so 96-2006, dont think the watercooled ones fit..?? im sure to have some in my box of bits if you need a set??

B12 alternator drive gear should have 26 teeth, it’s easy to swap gears between alternators just make sure it’s secured properly

bandits have the same hole spacing

it dose, i stupidly sold that one as my knees ached, then 8 years later i did another one..which i never really finished..before swapping for My moto martin

gsxr 400 as well
