he's getting on a bit now Daz, his mind isn't like it used to be

great bike, miss mine.

times have changed Al, back in the day thats all i did was repair starters and alternators, its now cheaper to replace with new or used

ET sender works fine with bandit clocks, its what i have on my bike.

I'm pretty sure they are, along with the GSX750 and the Inazuma 1200, ( probably the GS1200SS as well) but their is 2 different makes of carbs used. but if you use the rubber inlets as well then should be no problem, BUT don't quote me on all that

yeah they are, bought the cheapest at £25 on that b/w wire to the battery earth it can cause all sorts of problems if its not right, one of my B12's had a strange issue where started and ran fine till i put it into gear, took me ages to find it but it was corrosion on that connector. after a clean it was perfect. always worth checking when wiring problems come up.

nope, just long sighted, can't see feck all close up

I was their 2 days ago and waiting for my new spec's, but borrowed my Mrs and yeah i did need them getting old is a twat.

the black plug has 2 wires to it, which looks like the fuel gauge connector, the one from the battery earth has 1 thicker wire. or is it my dodgy eyes ?????

you'll have to go fishing with a magnet before the strip down

it all depends on the shock Al, some are threaded and some are welded on, whats yours like ?

the thing with that Daz is all my mates and family are always wanting something doing on their bikes and cars !!! still it gets me of my retired arse

scary when a front calliper suddenly seizes on !! i was on a road test on a busa and riding to a fast road to open it up, but on the way through slow traffic the bike started slowing pretty quick and then stopped, one calliper seized tight and i couldn't move the bike, cars behind me had to drive round me, managed to get it to the pavement and let the brake cool down, then limped back to the shop using the rear brake. the bike was in for lack of power at high speed, good job it didn't seize at high speed

yeah if you lean it over far enough.

if its only a few MM's then it won't make any difference, probably due to the manufacturing process, I thought you mean't a bigger difference. but i've just checked the part numbers and both springs are the same.

odd ? they should be the same length.

also cash and space, both i have no longer got

the washer above the clip doesn't lift the needle, but the one on the bottom will (if removed) drop the needle making it leaner.

the smaller washer that sits on top of the C clip isn't normally their and doesn't do much, their is normally 4 bits on the needle. from top down, plastic tophat spacer, clip, thick plastic spacer, washer. Carburetor for Suzuki BANDIT 1200 1999 - Suzuki

maybe you should buy a fuel injected bike Al !!!!

my bet is they are B12 Mk1's

they do look like Mk1 1200 carbs to me ? they have the oval shape on the inlet side and a central idle adjuster. are they 36mm ?

if I remember right ? the side stand switch wire plug is a bigish green connector, but ive slept since seeing one

I think on the 600 version it plugs into the carb heaters. it might be used on the 1200 Inazuma or SS1200 that uses 32mm carbs ?

hate to admit it !! but i used an O ring off a chain in an emergency situation needed the bike back on the road ASAP at the time. then forgot all about it, bike ran good for ages till i sold it still running good.
