I found the problem why my bandit can't fire up, the battery is having poor contact, there is a layer of white coating on the negative lead. I thought I have blown the 25A main fuse, but it was ok.

 

Anyway I took the batt off and polished up the leads and started the bike its idling ok now.

 

Next on the DIY list is to change the coolant, spray the exhaust header black, polish up the caliper piston and change new brake pads.

Guys I'm thinking to place my IU unit at the rear cowling, where the tool kit was kept. Do you think the ERP gantry can sensed it?

 

I have remove and thrown away the bulky and rusted IU bracket don't wish to spend too much $$ on a new one.

 

And by the way, are your bandit seat very small and hard?? cause my buttocks become painful after 30mins of riding.

I think its pretty alright to disasseble and clean the carb, I have done it on my 750 many times and when I check the carb balancing it never change.

 

i dont have the carbtune so inpractical to wash the carb when i cant tune the carbs. althought I would like to.

 

anyway to check with you. I need to take out either the carbs or airbox to replace the whole fuel line due to some problems. If I happened to shake the carbs or take out the carbs, will any internal settings be disturbed (assuming i didnt touch the external screws)?

 

I was thinking to do myself (cos I got other stuffs to do too) or to ask Guan Hoe replace for me when I go for wash & tune carbs.

the other end of the fuel line is between the carbs at the airbox side, so i dont know how i can put the line in there without removing anything.

You can take out the carb and service no problem, the carb syn can be do later.

 

The setting won't be alter, shaking and knocking won't affect anything.

 

Setting of the carb will only be change if you bent the float tang, turn the air/fuel mixture screw(mine is seal), and turn the carb syn screw, if you leave all this alone the setting will not be change.

 

Btw I solve the idling problem and the tacho hang problem, they are related. I found the pilot jet jet is cap with some rubber stopper, think some motorshop is trying to sabotage the previous owner. Only realise this after taking out and putting in the carb for 4 times, in between have try to change bigger pilot jet(size 35 from my 750) to solve the lean problem (tacho hang) but end up with a lot of smoke. Also found the float assembly, float bowl gasket is the same as my 750.

 

And the airbox is a pain in the ass, very diff to put in, got backache after trying to fix it in.

 

Btw the clutch is ok after adjusting the clutch free play, no more diff in shifting gears. Now the major problem is the fork oil leak, found a nick on the fork tube hopefully dont have to change that else it gona to burn a hole in my wallet.

If the B6 configurations is the same as the B4, then you just need to remove the air box and you can access the fuel line without having to remove the carb.

No need to use too much strength, some technique involved, u just need to get used to it.
