Sounds like you have dirt or rust particles in the fuel system

Either a short or the circuit is now drawing too much amperage. Disconnect the new indicators and see if that is the problem. Hope this helps.

no problems if u need a chain seperater to break the new chain i have used a grinder to grind the pin ends down then set your chain over a nut and punch ur pins out on the link u need. try to drive them out together

You mean "tire" presure ?

The tire should state on the side in small print the correct "lbs" or "presure"..

Hope this helps !!
rate me good ;o)

Sounds like you have blocked jets in the carbs or petrol starvation. Try adjusting the idle jets to let more fuel in.

Did you mean that once the battery was taken out to be charged or it was charged while on the bike.
If the battery can be removed off for half and hour and set back to reset the clock ,try adjusting the time once again and see if the clock comes back to display. If not this can be a error in the clock section of the processor, a fault in the crystal oscillator. If the ignition and other electronics are working fine, please check for any loose joints, printed board dry soldering, specially of the crystal . This can be the only other reason than the micro processor.
I also would like to ask you to join the following forum to discuss your issue with the Bandit owners.

it just like you said...you'll have to take the tank, seat, and fairings back off and search everywhere for them..they'll be there, unless someone cut them off.....you might have to put in some extra time start at the rear and work forward..hope you find them.

Hey - sorry to hear about the road rash- - crashed my bike some years ago and still have the scars to prove it . I hope you make a great recovery.

As for finding the bike part you need for cheap. You can start by Clicking here
go to that website -look around for your state - find the best city for you and join it FREE - then post an ad in the WANTED section and be sure to renew it about once a week. Change the wording - and try other large cities as well.
You can also put wanted ads on the local paper's online site usually for free. Be sure to call the local bike repair shops and also ask about a bike salvage company near you. Many times these guys can find deals for people like us. I just found [ on Craigslist ] a full set of wheels and tires to match - Good Years - for 50.00 - very nice deal. SO IT CAN HAPPEN. Please hang in there and scour the outlets and keep praying - it will happen within a few weeks or months but it will happen. Again I hope you're healing great.

it should be located under the seat

You need to register, but it's free. Don't know if they spam alot, but it might me a good idea to use some other e-mail account than your primary one.

First thing that I would do is a compression test. Go to you local auto part store and tell them you need to buy a compression gauge. It should come in a kit that has a gauge, hose and adapters. Remove all the spark plugs. On the cylinder that you think isnt running screw the adapter and hose into the spark plug hole then hook the gauge to the hose. Once done crack the motor over buy pressing the start button and watch the gauge. If there is good compression the gauge will build up pressure and stay up. If the compression is bad the gauge will eather go up and fall or not go up at all...after that give send me an email and I can tell you where to go from [email protected]

hi m8,, 1st u need to check the timing with a time light gun,, and trottle the bike to 7000rpm, and see if the timing marks change as u r pointing the gun at it, if they do move ,,adjustment is needed, ,if all is ok u can do a test by taking a plug spanner with u,,and riding the bike up the road, trottle it to 7000rpm,and soon as it stutters hit the kill switch and coast to a stop,, wipp a spark plug and check the colour of the plug, ,u have to look at each plug tho,, if one plug is different colour to the others ,,then the cylinder that plug came from is the problem point,,, another solution is to get your carbs balanced ,,id advise u do this 1st really b4 doin timing check,, cheers

32psi front, 36psi rear. thats for street riding not track ;)

Custom seat - take your seat to a local upholstery shop (I prefer places that do boat seats since the bike seat is out in the weather like a boat seat is) and ask them to add some more foam to build the seat up higher. Custom seat makers like Corbin, Mr. Eds, and Russell day-long saddles can do this too. You might consider moving the seating position back some too, this will reduce the passenger room but make your riding more comfortable.

You can also relocate your foot pegs for some extra room, if there is a kit for your bike. Touratech has kits for some bikes. If you are or know a skilled fabricator you can have some made.

never heard of this. chances are you will find a weak spot in the tank and blow through it. To me this sounds like a very dangerous endeavor.

For the 600 it's 33psi (2.25 Bar) for the front and 36 psi (2.50 Bar) for the rear

First take off the seat, turn it upside down, unscrew the two screws and two bolts that hold the two parts of the seat together. Separate the pillion and rider seat (takes a bit of wiggling), now you can concentrate on the riders seat. undo the four screw that hold all the rubber gromets down (make a note of the direction they are facing), and unbolt the two small bolts on the front. The seat should now come apart, move the bracket at the back of the seat down a hole. Re-attach the two halfs of the seat at the front but this time one hole up. You should see a gap between the two halfs. Put the rubber gromets back on, this is where I went wrong the first time, TURN THE FRONT TWO 180 degrees and leave the back ones how they are. Screw everything back together and you have one raised seat my long legged friend.

Hi,,it sounds like a wire in the indicator circuit is shorting out somewhere,,,for starters remove the head light,,trace where the indicator wires go from the indicator switch,and check all the wires all the way to the rear indicators,,,look for loose or burnt connections.

good luck

Hi ask the question again stating year and model of bike, thanks paul

If the plugs are very tight, use firm pressure intermittantly whilst unscrewing the plugs a bit at a time, screwing the plug back in and then out again. This, if done with a hot engine, will help to avoit damaging the head and the aluminium threads.
If the threads get damaged due to a build up of carbon on the end of the threads, Helicoils will need to be inserted. If you need helicoils, contact a quality engineering company for help, or a good garage. Don't foget to fit the correct length plugs and use "Copper Ease" on the thread to avoid this problem again
Hope that helps
