    Good to know.  Before I wonder why it won't fit the swingarm. The conversation has made me want to find a staight spoke front now!

    Bandit 1200 straight spoke and fit. 

  3. Thanks for the info and help. Now I know what Im lookin for.

    Yes the later straight spoke are slightly different,  the disc side bearing sit slightly further out. 

    I will take my wheel out at some point and just check the sprocket carrier. 

    I think it has 6 spokes going to the drive rubbers. The 4.5 rim has 5. 

  4. Right I'm lookin to get a spare rear for my 750 L.  Now I've read on here slingshot rear's vary between models and different 750 /1100.  I want to get another wheel I can just swap when I drag race the old girl (1216 FI turbo lump)  and don't want to have extra sprocket carriers and spares ect. How can I tell differences if any?  

    Thanks Colin 

  5. Different oil cooled engines run different gear ratios to run the oil pump. Bandit 12 motor runs the biggest size gear on the back of the clutch.  

    No point in trying to overspeed the pump or increase the pressure. 

    I've run my bandit for 12 years with the addition of oil going to supply the turbo bearing and it works fine.

  6. If the engine is completely stripped I've placed the block on the top crank case and then fitted each piston and rod assembly from the top. When all 4 are in then place the crank in and bolt up each rod cap.

  7. These are quite basic in wiring, there is no resistor on the ignition switch just later stuff like bandits as to stop people hot wiring them. 

    If you have power and the motor won't spin over when you push the button its going to be a signal to the starter relay, duff relay itself or starter motor. Trace the wire coming off the starter motor back to the relay and bridge 2 big contacts with some pliers or piece of wire this will prove the starter. If that works see if the solenoid is clicking when you press the starter. If it is then relay wants swapping. If it isn't clicking check the side stand switch, clutch switch and neutral switch. 

  8. I've had 3 oil cooled engine have bolts missing from this plate. One on my bandit bolt fell out and went between the crank and cam chain snapping the chain. I always remove the bolts and lock tight them in now when I get an oil cooled motor.
