ripoff specsavers
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.

B/w with black connector goes to a branch wire splitting off the earth strap to the battery. Other 2 wire connector (if centred on top of air box)is for a defunct carb heating/de-icer i.i.r.c. Connects to nothing.
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 ?????

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

Tried it this morning (been using Efe & B-king) and it's shite, struggles to get into gear and lever is heavy as fuck, can you strip these laid over like and Efe so you don't lose the oil so I can pull it to bits and put both the stock springs back in.
yeah if you lean it over far enough.

Yes mate only by a few mill but definitely different lengths. That is how they came from the factory as the bike was brand new when I got it
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.

When I replaced the original fork springs on my B12 they were different lengths. They came like that from the factory
odd ? they should be the same length.

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.

Yeah 36mm
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 ?

Ok thanks Tony. I'm home now, checked diagram, 600 MK1 is the same, it's not connected. Looks like it's from side stand circuit. Maybe for different markets, who knows...
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 ?

I wanted to go with a different style, heard bandits are usually popular and like the style and look. If I can find the top hat spacers that would be awsome.....dont mine welding shock tabs
I went the other way as you have to get the top hat spacers made, I used an aluminium tube that fits in the bandit swingarm and fits the GS/GSX spindle. then use thick washers to take up the gap as the bandit arm is not as wide as the GS. done this a few times now and not had an issue.

you could use a GSX1100 swingarm as its ally and has the shock mounts on, its an easy fit.

Blandit 600 carbs
in Oil Cooled
Posted
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
