I guess that particular carb of yours is set too lean, is your factory seal still intact at the mixture screw?? If the seal has been removed then your mixture screw maybe set to lean, you can turn 1/2 turn out and monitor again.

 

Lean condition can be cause by leak, check if your airbox is seal properly to the carb and check for damages on the rubber manifold at the engine side (the rubber could have harden and crack due to heat and long period of usage. Try to spray some carb cleaner around the manifold and see if the bikes choke or die and its a indication of leak. Other things to check is the tiny carb o-ring under the black caps, are they crack or lost?? and the rubber cap on the black cover are they crack and cause air to leak? Are your diaphragm broken or crack?

 

When jet needles and needle jets worn you actually have a rich condition, as more fuel is pass through the jet needles. You may suffer a flat spot in the mid range from 3k-7K rpm range depends on how bad is the wear on the jets and needles.

 

The carb cleaner is very useful for dissolving dirt and slimes in the carb, but try not to spray on the rubber or plastic parts as it may damage them. I been using them for 2 years to clean my carb and so far so good.

 

For a new bank of carburetor its not cheap, why not visually check the following parts and change it out if its worn

 

1. Pilot jets

2. Main jets

3. Jet needles

4. Needle jets (emulsion tube)

5. New o-rings

6. Diaphragms

thanks for the advice, pal. will sort things out and report back to this forum to share my findings.

 

lastly, anyone got front fork to sell. my bandit's right fork is leaking oil as the fork tube is worn as the chrome has come off. Change oil seal will not help.

 

anyone got experience with this? Also, there is a metal ring inside the fork, that ring also must change when you change the worn oil seal, according to one bike mechanic.

 

I'm also looking for some bandit accessories. If you have, you can PM me with the parts and price to see if i'm interested.

 

Thanks.

I believe your bike should have better fuel consumption than the normal banadit.

 

Probably do a general serving first to see if it will improve

 

1. Clean air filter

2. Change new spark plugs

3. Clean carb, check for worn out parts then syn the carb.

I was side by side with a bandit400V at a traffic junction, when the lights turn green, the bandit400v pick up was so fast, I can hardly keep up with it, loose 3 bike length at least. Power!!!
