    Is it me or are B12 throttles slow

    in Oil Cooled

    Posted

    I've been tinkering and riding,

    Enjoying the bike a lot ..I'm just asking this throttle is slow isnt it,I'm ringing it's guts and I realise ..oh... it's not wide open , and there's a bit left.

    Anyone swap out the twist grip for anything faster?

    GSF Red Line Goes North

    Seems like the exhaust finally being right has given me good use able power right up top.

    All of a sudden 10K red line is a bit conservative, can see cams making it more so...

    What is the real top end RPM for these engines? Or is it already correct lol

    GSF1200 Kent Cams - Anyone recommend?

    I've been keeping an eye out for some slabby cams, dot heads... Its just not happening tbh.. 

    Anyone buy Kent Cams? 

    Must they be timed with vairable timing gear? 

    Never used variable wheels on a bike engine, but built a pretty mean Pinto on which they made no difference lol... And I drove around terrified they'd come loose. 

    Toying with Kent Cams and a head skim. Stage1

    Just the free flowing exhaust made a huge difference, feels like it set free 30 ponies I've never known an exhaust transformation like it... Must have been dog shite to start with

    the O ring is in the pipe fitting, it has a recess for it.  

    There isn't a recess on mine, there is a chamfer on the inlet..... Thanks for all your assist..... Would be amazing to see the right fiche... Make sure km getting thr right part... This gentle weep of oil is driving me mental.

    Hi. I've had mk1s, MK2 bandit 1200. All have had o rings in the coolers. Probably best to split the hose and cooler and see if the o ring is in there, may be missing or damaged. Think the genuine ones are recommended as best. About £5 each from Suzuki. I usually clean everything up and use some Hylomar gasket sealer on the joint.

    Hey George, no O Ring recess on my rad George, as I said the 2000 Mk1 seems to angle in from the middle instead of going straight up, and I can't find a pick with an O Ring....suzuki dealer call tomoz lol

    Hey everyone, project Bandit coming along nicely brakes and handling sorted...looking good sounding good... 

    I've got a weap of oil coming from the clutch side oil line to the cooler... (obvs)... 

    When i put the cooler on there was no gasket and no o ring, this is the later version that enters from the inside out of the rad, not straight up from the bottom... 

    Is it supposed to have a gasket or o ring, I cannot find a drawing of that variation... 

    Hope everything is good with you guys and everyone is enjoying their bikes in thr good weather. 

    600 bandit carbs running on pod filters

    The pod filters in-and-of themselves are not really the problem.

    The real problem is that 99% of the time when someone fits pods, they stick them straight onto the carb mouth removing / disposing of the rubber "velocity stacks" that are built into the stock airbox-to-carb rubbers. (K&N Dual Pods are very notable for this, there simply is not enough room to use the stock airbox rubbers)

    As shown by @yantoshabove, if you include the rubbers from the airbox (and with the right foam filters) it greatly helps with getting them to run nice (y)

    Well I agree, however many pod type filters actually come with those fittings and using the rubbers can be tough with some filters that are supplied.... CV carbs don't work the same as slide carbs they must have smooth air at the lip

    i've used the standard airbox rubbers with twin ramair foam filters on loads of builds, fi, carbs, water cooled , oil boilers ... always worked, every time 

    this is a 750, in a bandit 6 frame , foam filters and airbox rubbers , ran great on dyno and real world

    Great idea! 

    Can you take a pic? 

    Close up? If I get you straight the air box rubbers run inside the foam filters or??

    Pods often don't run well on CV carbs due to the way they attach to the carbs. 

    Depending on any step at the mouth where they join the carbs. 

    If there is no step they will be OK.

    I've bullt several specials with CVs not a Bandit, but they had CVs and one set of pods would have a huge flat spot that no amount of. Rejetting would ever be able to fix. 

    Suggest. You find out what pods others are using with some success

    Or use a Dremel tool with carborundum disc - after measurement obviously! I think i've only ever seen a ring grinder once in real life, in 40 years of playing with bikes!

    I had one when I was messing with my old Ford's lent it to a mate usual story they  only forty quid
