Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier. Need to be 1/2" bsp with the corresponding convex fitting.

Also trying putting oil down the plug holes before testing. If it comes up Its ring wear.

A healthy battery helps. Sluggish battery can prevent compression building.

Vaseline and a ratchet strap worked for me.

What's the pro's and con's to fitting the oil cooler with the inlet/outlet top or bottom?

Cool. Thanks @Jdeac

Thanks Dezza. I'll do that.

Stupidly threw the old one away before measuring it. Can anyone measure the linkage length for me please. Between rose joint centres, near enough is fine.

Do you know which cylinder is backfiring?

I think the backfiring is fuel being ignited at the wrong time.

Possible failing pick up? Sounds like an ignition timing issue.

Turns out I have 2 sets of really good mk1 carbs.

Perfect. Thanks Clive.

These have CVK on the bodies. Mk1?

Did the mk1 Bandit 1200 carbs have TPS? I assumed the carbs I have must be mk2 as they have TPS. The wire harness on the bike has a TPS plug so I assumed someone had fitted a mk2 harness. The bike was cheap and in bits with 10 previous owners so who knows.

Was a lovely drive from your neck of the woods John. Good to meet ya.

Is it possible to run 2 x 10 row coolers instead of 1 x 19 row cooler on a Bandit 1200? 19 row is a bit big to run under a front number board so thought I'd run one in the original position and one up front. Purely for looks. It's not a Bandit frame.

Maybe time for a 1216 then. Busa piston?

Just trying to decide if a 50000ml bottom end is worth putting a used barrel and pistons on. Got the bike very cheap for a summer hack. Exhaust ports are annihilated so took the head off with a view to putting a spare dot head on, and found rust in one cylinder. Is the mileage about it for a 12? Have to say the valve train looks in great nick. Opinions please.

Is the black with holes in the cheap one? Less of it. Lighter postage. I'll have it if 100% sound, no cracks.

Fuel tank to carb top. Can't be specific coz it's a Suzuki forum.

Bought a set of cheap, £20, 750 Teapot inlet rubbers from Eblag to try with the RS36's . Lovely and supple and seem to be ok and the carbs fitted with a little grease, a small ratchet strap and a hose pick. If you're critical, you might want to match the ports to the inlet rubbers, but there's not a lot in it to be honest. They do place the carbs closer to the head, but there's still not enough clearance for my application.

What year is gen 1 up to? Does it apply to Bandit 1200?

Thanks guys. GSXR1100K will do the job.

When did they change? Never heard that before. Want to find a 520 15 tooth sprocket for mk1 Bandit 12.
