[Group] SUZUKI Bandit

[techo21]

Hi!

i just bought a bandit today..super shiok man..however, the throttle cable snapped..so i tolled it to the bike shop. in total, i paid $60 for it..is it worth it..

the breakdown is as follows:

$20 for toll charge
$40 for throttle cable.

please advise..thank you so much!

like bro stanco said.. the tow is cheap for $20.. and roughly the throttle cable is ard that price. normally towing is $25 - $35.

Tx, I heard from GIVI dealer here the bracket no more for Bandit in SGP. For those who need she said can try asking Ah Huat at old Universal Motors.Btw I still riding my Bandit since I bought in the 90's till now, FN plate.

Hi guys,

Thanks so much for the advise. I wanted to ask you guys because the previous owner told me that the shop like to cheat his money, so I just wanted to confirm with you guys if the shop was trying to cheat my money. Thanks for your help anyway (:

Cheers,
Rasmus

wah $1.5 for Fm plate is cheap... bro can u ask guan hoe how much to do valve clearance and top overhaul??

[S750WP]

WTB to buy the orginal headlight ring, chrome piece to replace mine which is scratch. PM price if you have a good condition one to sell.

[misterdeelin]

Perhaps this sort of question has been asked one too many times, but I've been thinking of getting a bandit 400 to ride to school and work. My only concern is that with it being a pretty old bike, would still be advisable to buy? Are parts difficult to get should anything need be replaced? What about maintanence? I'm on a tight budget but would like something decent to get around with. Anything less than a 400 would be a bit too small for me. Are there any common faults in the bandit? What are the important things I should I look out for before buying one? I am really keen to know more about this legend of a bike. If anyone out there can spare me some time to tell
me more, do email me at misterdeelin@gmail.com

much appreciation!

went to guan hoe today... the uncle and auntie was blurr they can't actually figure out which bandit model is mine hahahaha... might be sending my bike for valve clearance tomoro. then the uncle was telling me that my rear suspension is spoilt but i told him it's not he was shock than he take a look and ask me wat suspension i'm using hahahah.. then he apologise he thought my suspension is spoilt ....most likely will send it in the morning and then get my fren to fetch me back to work than ard 3 go and collect it back..

[techo21]

if u go to most shops..they will say it can't be done.. cos they are just plain lazy. like i always say if u need to get things done do it urself.

[techo21]

S750WP, r u sure that our bandit can use gsxr shock from 750/1000cc bike...?

yes it canbe use on our bikes.this was already been done and used by our angmoh's counterpart in europe and britain. and getting aprts from e-bay is cheap but the shipment cost normally kills us. as to know if it's still in gud condition or not i'm not sure on this. perhaps s750wp can explain further.

[stanco]

if u go to most shops..they will say it can't be done.. cos they are just plain lazy. like i always say if u need to get things done do it urself.

i dont even know how to remove the fuel tank... DIY the shock, i think not in this life time for me.

Is this brand new, how much you pay for it? I am planning to replace my exhaust with CB400 stock exhaust to give it a modern look also I like the sound of CB exhaust. But need to check with seng kwang if they can fabricate the mounting.

End result will look like this


Plan to respray the bike to this

[mAt_Sp]

bro for guan hoe do they accept cards payment or only cash??

its better by cash cause i don't remember seeing them
having a nets or credit machine...
