GSX 1200 inazuma - tuning ?Bandit carbs ?

[FJD]

have a aquired a GSX 1200 Inazuma, there´s not much info around for these engines.

AFAIK the engine is the same a s the first Bandit 12 mill, but with different carb boots and smaller carbs fitted from factory for more low end response.

Has anyone here tried to fit Bandit 12 boots and carbs with good results ?

Congratulations on the new bike.

 

The imazuma is big in Japan. 

Lots of tuning goodies to be had on Webike.jp or the likes.

Most of that stuff are also fitted to the first gen b12 and some gsxr1100-ers.

I think you are right regarding the carbs and boots but I have no first hand experience. 

There are more members on here with a gsx 1200. I think it was fatmama.

I have one  Didn't do more then a K&N replacement airfilter and Yoshimura can (ment for a B12) but seems to run better already!

Hi, I have a 2001 gsx1200 inazuma and I'm trying to find the diameter of the airbox side of the carbs as I want to remove the airbox and replace with air pods but without removing carbs and airbox it seems impossible to find the diameter. Muchly appreciated if someone can help

the standard Inazuma uses 32mm carbs ( bandit 1200 uses 36mm) same as a 600 bandit, so get pods for a B6.

Good fun these airbox moves on the Inazuma 750 and 1200....to get them in/out without destroying you need to lower the engine in the frame......what a lot of shite work.....ask me how i know

Go on then I will ask, just to make you happy

Bear in mind you'll want to do something to the jetting if you replace the airbox - there might be a 'stage 3' jet kit for the 600 but you're flowing more air in the 1200 so guess that won't be the answer... if you can, maybe Bandit 1200 carbs and jets might be the closest to a known good condition.

Going to stick with the inazuma carbs, I know they a 32mm but trying to find out the size of the air inlet side, heard 42-48 also heard 50. Looks like I may have to remove before ordering pods.

You can take the carbs off no problem. But you can't get the airbox out with the engine bolted in place. 

[FJD]

Exactly....i once bought a 750 with molten airbox cheap...replacing it included a lot of nasty words....

Btw: the 1200 ran great with oem setup, und just a aftermarket silencer

The B12 goes even better if you cut the collector box open and pull all the baffle crap out.

[TonyGee]

I got myself a gsx750 inazuma frame and threw a 1200 bandit engine in, then it morphed into this

That is very nice.

We all have a learning experience .

Keep seeing my old gs1000 across the road and keep thinking why I sold it.

Sell in haste and repent at your leisure.

How hard is it to lower the motor and how much do you have to drop it to get airbox out. Any info appreciated.

[Busaboy09]

This is a photo of mine after a clean up from the very rough condition I brought it. Brought it cheap as a project.

[FJD]

Sorry, too long ago to remember details, but chain off rear sprocket, exhaust off, car jack under engine, and out with engine bolts.

Not sure about rear top spindle thou, you will have to try
