    Mk1 Bandit 600 carb troubles

    in Oil Cooled

    Posted · Edited by Gixer1460

    For a 600 DJ104's sound big - from memory they are about the size used in 1200's - could never understand that as my GSXR1100 used DJ136/8's and used less fuel than a M8's 1200 - its all Dark Arts - I'm telling ya!

    Plug thread - Helicoil kit - done carefully will outlast the rest of the engine.

    However they are made - they will go to around 300hp in a Bus before the ring lands let go! Most std GSXR / Blandit stock pistons can break NA whilst blowing into the airbox LOL!

    1&4, 2&3 share coil.

    so you have to change 1 and 4 and see if you will move the fault to number 4 cylinder.

    Then the coil is gone.

    OP said he's done that - #1 stayed cold therefore it can only be a duff plug (possible) or lead (unlikely) or #1 carb (highly likely based on period of inactivity) Carbs never drain completely so crud in jets is my bet!

    Yep - One good whack with an impact driver (and correct cross head bit) and they loosen - they have jap loctite forever from the factory! I tend to add an extension between the driver and bit holder as you can't get a straight shot without due to the rubbers. Oh and it's easier with engine out or head off LOL!

    Hmmm  - you didn't mention what bike but assuming a GSXR ? - a 6Ah battery is less than half the recommended 14Ah!  The charging system kicks out about 300w so @ 13.8v thats approx 21A which will easily run the bike with everything on.......................but could be cooking the battery when not - possibly?

    Without the bulb in place there won't be a complete circuit so not surprising nothing happens. There should be (as far as i'm aware) no direct interaction between ignition and lighting circuits - each separately fused. As fuse don't pop it's unlikely a short but I can't explain the symptoms. Is it side light or main headlights...... could it be a rear lights issue?

    Worn cam lobe

    Never seen one worn like that but the second pic is showing some evidence of pitting / voids in the casting! It could be a combination of extended oil changes and/or overly tight clearances that have simply worn out the lobe. Unless Suzuki advise using different oil for your location - I wouldn't!  10w40 is usual grade and would suspect more frequent changes would be better that going heavier which maybe doesn't flow as well on start up when cold - when most of the wear occurs!

    When you say 'Bindit bottom end' you are referring to everything below the head gasket ie. the whole engine minus the cyl. head?

    That's the only bit worth using and maybe the coil spring clutch. If you are considering swopping the 750 barrels on up, over to a bindit cases - i'd say why? A 750 isn't the torquest motor in the world and you'd be losing a gear with a bindit box so needing more torque........... its not a normal swap!

    Mine has 370 rwhp -  do I need it ? LOL

    I did look into this way back but the technology - height sensing radar / ultrasonics / linear potentiometers etc was way beyond my pay grade before getting into rates of acceleration algorithms to control it all - I knew what I wanted but not how to achieve it in a DIY stylee !

    Do you know, ive heard of 4 now that have snapped. I plan on re engineering the side stand mounting point. Maybe make a bracket that picks up on 3 or 4 positions. Do you have any details at all? Thanks. 

    I'll ask next time I see him but won't be for a few weeks as off on hols shortly - i'll get a picture if I can!

    IMO i'd prefer the higher CR as it aid's off boost running and can tolerate 1 bar of boost - problem is boost is addictive and you push it a little bit more and it goes tits up (potentially). Correct fueling helps as overly rich mixtures don't necessarily help cooling as much as people think - easy way of burning up turbine blades, dumping excess fuel into the turbine.

    Throw the Bus rods away - they'll pop the pistons out of the top of the block - could use a spacer but you'll need to add a link into the cam chain so its not like a bowstring!. Std rods gives about 9:1 CR I think from memory and i'd use the TD04
