[Bandit 1200 fueling issues]

I have been looking for a factory pro kit but haven't seen one listed. Do you have an email address for him? Many thanks.

Have put #40 pilot jets in and will hopefully have some dyno time soon.

Hi there  Thanks for the reply. The engine is modified its a 1200 bandit with a ported gsxr 750 dot head and cams. It's also got an ignition advancer and dyna 2000 ingnition with dyna coils and leads. I have a set of bst38ss carbs that have standard needles with clip in second groove from top float levels are set to standard level 14.6. They have 42.5 pilot jet and all seals etc have been changed and the needles, emulsion tubes, float valves and seats were replaced around 500-800 miles ago. As above pilot screw is 2 turns out.

We ran b12. With skimmed dot head bst38,s gsxr 1000 serpent micron headers , 150mains std needles, one clip up from lowest point, (rich)  Was rich on Dyno made 149bhp, After jet change 145mains  made 147bhp, lovely power curve, 

Did you have any issues with the wider serpent headers hitting the bandit frame tubes? 

[B12 Skimmed and flowed dot head]

Are they any good for power increase? It's hard to find a decent set of headers for the b12 

[B12 Skimmed and flowed dot head]

I've got 147.5 main jets standard needles on second clip down but I've only got a cheap set of aftermarket headers. I'm using dyna 2000 ignition with ignition advancer dyna coils and leads. Got 137 rwhp and 84lb of torque. The headers you had on yours were for a gsxr 1000?

Will try a size down on the pilots. It's got 42.5 in at the moment. A/f ratio good from 4000 - redline. 

[Bandit 1200 fueling issues]

Yes that has been suggested. Lol.

It's running dual pod filters, tried lowering float height and found it made no effect? It is a bit stutery at 2000-2500 in first and second gear which becomes less noticeable when you're in 4th and fifth gear. It will sit fine in top gear at 2500 but will take until 4000 to pick up. Everything is fine on the dyno after 4000. 

[B12 Skimmed and flowed dot head]

Thanks for the reply. It's got the dot head cams as well. It's been no problems for the past 2 years. Just have a little issue with the fueling under 4K revs. 

[B12 Skimmed and flowed dot head]

Hi there. Would anybody happen to be using bst38ss carbs on b12 motor with skimmed and flowed dot head? If so could you tell me what size pilot jets you are using please??? 

[Bandit 1200 fueling issues]

Evening all. Can't seem to get my. carbs set correctly under 4000rpm. I've had the bike on the dyno and it's reading rich and a flat spot until 4000rpm? After 4K it's spot on! Idle mixture screws seem to be best set at 2 turns out. Any help would be grately apprieciatd!

Hi guys. Is there any info on converting the mk1 1200 bandit to fuel injection already on this site? Many thanks.
