Yoyo.... how is everybody... Really been damn long nv been to this forum:weep: ? I bet we got a lot of new members... as well as our old Bandits kias...

 

Interested for a mit up and gathering for malaysia trip somewhere next week? maybe go there pump petrol, makan and tok tok.. :cheer:

I'm going there to pump petrol next week, hope to meet some fellow bandit riders coz its quite lonely to go there alone.

 

Also like to hear what other bandits sound like? coz silver said my bandit sounds different from the normal bandits, she said mine sound like a 'bigger cc' bike. Hehehe wonder if that's a good sign.

[S750WP]

i'm now in the progress of changing my speedo and tacho to blue light bulbs, wonder how it will turn out, coz the old one are too dim.

 

Took out everything, and the bulbs i bought at mah turns out to be wrong size. Waste my effort, gona to exchange the right one with them.

[S750WP]

Want to go tomorrow night to pump petrol, my tank is going to reserve soon?

[S750WP]

Exchange the blue sppedo and tacho light bulb with Mah again because cannot fit, no choice but to take the white one.

 

Tacho and speedo now very bright cause the old one when I took out all burnt already. Think it will be very nice to have a blue illuminated speedo and tacho.

[chee_teck]

Hehe wonder if the white bulbs really bright enuf? mine oso very dim cannot see my speed when on NSH at nite ler....diff to open up the tacho?

For 11 years the bulbs were not change, the light bulb coil all become so fragile, breaks at the slightest knock. And all the bulbs have a dark spot on the glass when I open up. I can see mine is so much brighter after changing the bulbs.

 

If you got time maybe can try to source ard at SLT for LED bulbs to replace the stock ones, then can update me where to buy.

 

Changing is easy, need to open up the front head lamp and remove its side bracket. The purpose is to have more room to fit in the allen key on the speedo/tacho and to loosen up the cables to slide out the speedo/tacho cover.

 

Once its open you will notice 2 set of black and white wires going into two rubber plugs. You can pull the wires to extract the rubber cover to expose the bulbs but I choose to use a pliers to pull the rubber plugs as I scared it may break the wires.

 

When the rubber plugs, 2 on speedo 2 on tacho, are pulled out you will see the bulbs. Pull out the bulbs do not twist or turn becasue they are wedge type and will break if try to turn it. Then reasemble everything back again.

 

Altogether I spent $5 for the 4 bulbs, run 2 times to Mah. In the end Mah compensate me by giving me four more extra bulbs.

[chee_teck]

So hace to remove the front head lamp together with its bracket first la? haiyoyo...thank u for advice...btw wht are the correct bulbs? can take a photo n post it then i can go SLT to find other colors hehe

Don't need to remove the whole head lamp, just open up and remove the front part, by disconnecting a grey connector, will do.

 

Sorry I don't have a digi cam so I can't post the pic here, but you can get a sample from me or look for jefferey at MAH, because I went back to him twice for the bulbs, by now he should be very familar which is the correct bulb for bandit speedo/tacho.

[S750WP]

see below for how the mini wedge bulb look like

hehehe...not really sure abt the price of the bandit400 cdi, because I got mine 2nd hand cdi for my gsxr750 last time from ebay at US$5.

 

$400 I presume you got a brand new CDI.

 

To all bandit riders, the CDI can be repaired in Netherland, cost about $200, take abt a month.

Jefferey still gave me the color bulb to try knowing it can't fit!!

 

Dude maybe I can help to check what's wrong with your bike tonight, but I will be going to JB tonight to pump petrol first.

[S750WP]

I posted this flow chart at hands on for checking the motorcycle charging system if your bike can't fire up.

guanhoe quoted me 35 bucks for original throttle cable..u think can get it anywhere cheaper?

[S750WP]

Can try to ask KS, think should be the same, last time I change my 750 throttle cable for $35 also, buy from KS and D.I.Y.
