convert it to cable
Definitely approaching that. Should be simple to fix but I'm stumped.

The slave cylinder piston is pumping out too far on my Bandit 12. Thought I'd sussed it as the clutch that came with the engine was incorrectly assembled. Pushrods are correct. Fluid returns to the master cylinder fine. Any ideas?
-
I've used the cheap intake rubbers and they worked fine. Think Tourmax are the better ones.

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

If you fit a rose joint to each end, with the gear lever and splined thingy both set at the correct angle you can then measure between the rose joint centres for your specific application
.
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.

TPS point's upwards on the MK1
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.

Why not run an oil cooler. And then a head oil cooler upfront.
Hope you had a good drive back from mine today.
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.

Have you got one yet??
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.
Hydraulic clutch issue.

Maybe. It seems the piston has to travel to far before contacting the pushrod.
