WimBaas Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Hello all, I know it's a strange question but how can I tell if a bandit mk1 engine has 600 or 1200 cc's besides engine number or the numbers on the cylinderblock? Are there some kind of visual differences? Thanks. Quote
FJD Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 600 cable clutch 1200 hydraulic different height of cylinder blocks Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Bottom rear engine mount is 10mm on 600, 12mm on 1200, 600's are silver 1200's dark grey, 1200 has 14 fins on the barrel, 600 has 12 fins. 1200 goes much faster than a 600 2 Quote
Rene EFE Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Startercover will either be straight (like a 750) or with the rounded bit (like 1127 gsxr, etc) Quote

WimBaas Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks all. Bought an engine from a guy who seems to be reliable. Had a chitchat at his home about bikes,streetfighters. He was selling parts of stalled projectbike. For a reasonable price I bought the engine, carbs, loom and stainless Hindle exhaust. When I got home I noticed the missing of the engine number and the missing cc on the block. Called him and he assured it was a 1200 and told me that it was already removed when he bought it a few years ago. Downside, I can not sell it anymore. Brightside, I have to use it myself. Saw it running and it was fine. Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 all 1200 have a blank space at the bottom of the cylinder where the cc would normally be.. Quote
WimBaas Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 Oke, thats nice to hear. Also it has a hydraulic clutch. Havent counted the fins yet but it will be a 1200 for sure I believe. Quote

fatblokeonbandit Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Good question, shipmate, that deserves a much better answer than i can give you at this time the very first modles in 96 were marked 1156, after that from 97 on they are blank even though they are classed 1157cc Quote
