Lowering the needles a notch or two is a quick and easy way to test if the emulsion tubes are worn without the hassle of removing the carbs. You can also check the needles at the same time to make sure they're not worn. Stock carbs or do they have a jet kit?

has it done a lot of miles ? if so it could be worn needles and emulsion tubes ? this is probably not your problem but the Mk1 has an O ring under the float valve seat that cracks with age and cause leaks. still worth replacing anyway
The last owner did say to me he thought it was a float valve problem i, ll have a look at those seals thanks.
Only done 29k

Pulled the carbs off today and they look clean and they have recently been rebuilt new jets ect
Gave them a blast of air and carb cleaner back on the bike and runs exactly the same.
No idea what the problem is.

Is this suff not similar to the yamaha stuff got recommended this from someone but never heard of it.

Hello folks been away from suzukis for a while bought my self a 97 bandit 1200 s at the weekend no mot and requiring carb work its been sat of the road forv3yrs so might just need carbs cleaned again but the guy said he rekons it needs float needles.
I thought maybe imulsion tubes not stripped the carbs yet the symtoms are takes ages to start from cold once it does it runs rough then eventually clears and idles ok and will then start fine but if you try and ride it it bogs down when you open throttle and conks out sometimes.
Does this sound like float valves or imulsion tubes symptoms?
Possibly just in need of a strip and clean.
Cheers

Definitely worth a punt. Those tanks are getting quite hard to come by!
Yeah I just picked it up today and those photos were sent to me before I bought it.
It's actually not as bad as it looks in photos so I reckon we'll worth it.
-
Can this damage be repaired or not I know the large dent should be easy enough not sure about the other dent.
Getting the tank for £20 so I thought worth a shot.

Do you not think the B12 arm might look a bit too 'chunky', kinda overpowering that frame? How about a std. 1100 Katana ET/EX ''arm? You can still go 160. Just sayin'!
My thinking was the standerd skinny swingarm wouldn't be great with the extra power I, ll be adding. H

I think you want your gs swingarm bolt and the bandit bearings and these insert spacers http://www.lucky7moto.com/blog/?page_id=415

The engine arrived today 91 gsx 1100 power screen need to sort some mounting brackets next.
It's really clean for a 91 motor think I, ll just degrease and give it fresh paint.

Managed to make a start at the wknd with the GS 750 project test fitted the Bandit 12 swingarm obviously need spacers but not sure what swingarm bolt or bearings I will need to fit it.
Not decided whether to go twin shock or single yet so got that to figure out later.

Just bought a 91 gsx 1100 powerscreen engine for my gs 750 frame/project.
What's the difference with the gsx 1100 power screen and the gsxr 1100 engine and what carbs should I use.
Heard it was a slightly detuned gsxr 1100 motor but not sure in which way.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Steve

Anyone happen to no the size of spacers needed to fit a bandit 1200 swingarm onto a 77 GS 750 frame.
I see the pillion passenger footpeg hangers will need cut off.
But not had a chance to do a trial fit yet and get some measurements.

Anyone no if the bandit 650 engine is the same as 600 other than the obvious?
Just considering fitting one to my 77 GS 750 frame.

I'm possibly looking for a 750 engine if it's up for grabs

At £120 you already have a cheap bike, why not throw some time and money into the proper lump? Job satisfaction and all that jazz.
Was thinking of doing that if I could get a hold of a complete head get the barrels rebored new pistons and rings and the rest of the engine just needs a good clean/degrease as when I opened it up it does seem like a fairly basic engine to work on.

Well this is what I'm up against.Got a day off so split the engine to see what's what.
Was seized in 2 cylinders the other 2 look ok.
Think I,ll just go look for a new engine and break this one for parts.
Mk 1 1200 rear shock swap/upgrade
in Oil Cooled
Posted
Ive done a bit searching as to looking for an easy rear shock swap for my mk1 bandit 1200 and seems that the k7 k8 gsxr 1000 sounds like a fairly easy swap with just some washers for spacers needed.
Has anyone done this and if so is there a noticeable difference in handling
