Its on the classified ads, actually there are quite a few bandits for sale there approx 1300-1400. Think mine price is higher, $1700 as compare to the rest, but mine is zippier leh

Oh, oh, oh! Was searching the garage sales and could not find. Will go classified to browse around.

hehehe...I wouldn't mind, but the macho guys wont let me off though whahaha...

[Huggable]

So the sweet lady tested your Bandit? You didn't give her an irresistable price?

 

Edit: In fact S$1.2k is nearer to my budget, oh well...

Actually have no intention of selling was using the bike for transport to home and work, as I already have a car. The bandit fit my bill as its cheaper and easier to maintain. I was only testing the market, I told the guys that my best offer is $1600. They left saying wanted to test a few more bandit first.

 

If you look at the list, basically I service my bandit from head to toe.

Cause last time when I ws riding a steed400, one shop at JB quote me a brand new givi box at half the price compare to singapore.

yah the boxes are usually cheaper. i got a cheaper qoutation from Malacca then chiap lee...Chiap qoute me $340 for wing rack i can get Rm480 (haven bargain yet somemore)

 

BTW ur givi fittings u shown is only for bikes like ST11, VFR scooter bla bla bla...which oredi come with the mouting points for the rear box.whtever u call tht

 

Bandit got no such poitns n the frame end quite front such tht they cannot clamp the frame to fix mounting points...

Hehehe...spent so much $$ doing up the bike, market value for bandit400 is $1300. can get another used bandit to ride or for spares already.

[chee_teck]

Nvm la...the bike had so much sentimental values. Been to so many places with it. And so many chicks sit my bike before somemore (just kidding)

At least i know my CDI and a lot other electrical stuff now will last another 9 remaining yrs (hopefully). If i get another 10 yrs old bandit,soon things will break apart too might as well once n for all...

 

Next proj when i haf more dough - install my wing rack,change my radiator hoses and rebuilt radiator

 

Gary: Need ur help to do my top gasket n speedo bulbs.Can?When is good for u? ..i changed the oil hoses oredi. Kept the old ones for u to play with and oso got kata n my cdi to experiment

Saturday will you be free?? I suggest you buy a new valve cover gasket for the job because very mafan to take it out again if it leaks. Flush and change coolant and check the valve clearance as well(2 hr job). Since I need to drain the coolant, remove the thermostat, the coils, radaitor, air box in oder to access the valve cover.

 

Park your bike at my place for a day, friday night if you want to go ahead with the valve check, because the bike need 1 day to cool down and check. You will need to buy a tube of high temp RTV sealant, coz I think mine has dried up alerady and some engine oil(50ml) to top up( I have some left over Castrol R4 if you dun mind) because abit of oil will flow out when the signal generator cover is open up.

 

The changing of the speedo/tacho part is easy (1/2 hour job).
