From experience, has anyone done a respray on your bandit and can recommend a gd place for paint jobs?

Maybe share wat u did and state how much it cost u.

Actually spraying bandit not as easy as spraying at super4... Cos if u spray just the tank, the colour different from the body... So the body also have to spray.... anyway nice model posing on ur bandit... But the pic too small on ur avatar leh...

[iluvyurbike]

thanks for the compliment DK ... will let the wife know (she shy lah dats y pic so small).

yes realise that it is pretty big job to spray all the parts and possibly even frame ... was wondering wat the damage to the wallet will be like and if anyone has done it and where is a good place ... thinking to respray red again (fire engine) or maybe black (Metallic) like the s4.

 

btw do u know how to pass exhaust emmission inspection for bandit ... so far manage to pass ... but the inspector always says something very high (cant remember wat) ... I ask tech at Guan Hoe (Eunos) and he says this is normal ... he says for bandit the mixture very rich ... he recommends to reduce the idle until very low ... but surely there must be a full proof way ... I usually send to STI at AMK.

 

btw i always have difficulty wen changing the spark plug at the inner right side ... its a struggle to get the tool in and turn it ... any advise.

My bike's previous owner claims he spent 700 to repary everything including frame n right ride engine cover. But the paint job is very gd la.

 

I repsray my previous bike rxz excluding frame, car paintjob standard. for +/- RM200.

[iluvyurbike]

hey raj,

yup ... spraying in spore quite ex ... i suppose if they have to spray everything and have to remove some parts in order to reach the frame its gonna be quite labour intensive ... hence the cost.

maybe i'll just tell them to leave the frame (red) and spray everything else black ... yuks ... maybe not.

For the plastic why not use spray can to DIY, not recommended for fuel tank though because petrol will smurge the paint.

 

The frame you can use high temp paint to DIY.

Chee Teck:

 

Can check the part number on the jet needles that you bought??

 

I opened my carb yesterday to clean and the jet needle have grooves to adjust lean/rich, while my ex B4 doesn't.

 

In the U.S the B4 came with the adjustable jet needle as well. The needle profile on the G4 looks similar to B4 except for the grooves.

 

If the jet needles you bought last time, don't want liow, can sell to me??

[iluvyurbike]

xiaowang,

 

Thanks for the Guan Hoe recommendation.

Got my bike back yesterday.

 

Did an oil change, Cub wash which had to have one of the floaters replaced and other minor parts like the rubber seals.

Total damage about $270 (OUCH!!) ... but had a new handle bar, air filter and brake pads replaced (my own parts).

 

At least the bike is running like it should ... i think.

Throttle seems a bit tight ... no idea y ... maybe its suppose to be like that ... previously had to squeeze quite bit to get it to run ... consumption was pretty high.

 

Will see if cunsumption improves after all this work.

Hey no worries. Mr Han's a very nice man. Glad that you could revamp your bandit again.

[xiaowang]

It seems very quiet nowadays here. Bandits are losing their members one by one. Hai.....

 

Anyone interested in an outing or touring?
