Hi sgss,

 

hard to meet another 600 rider. I usually see the 1200 bandit.

can see that you are riding the generation2 bandit.

Mine is the 1st generation (got to call her jie jie)

Hi,

just want to check how much it cost to change fork oil... or maybe mine is the front suspension problem- ???

Which shop do u go for? (mine is the 600)

Tks:thumb:

Change fork oil? or change oil seal? Why just change oil only? Anyway nice bike u got there... I love that particular model...

Hi Bandit Brudders! I'm Mariner.Firstly I would like to wish every GON XI FA CAI!!!

 

I'm oso a red Bandit 400 owner, her plate is FN5563P.I got her brand new (can't remeber whether '93 or '94) at GHC Yishun at a whopping $12.5K.I'm proud to say that Bandit is a good and lasting bike,worth every dollar i spent on her.Still "using" her now:smile: Below are all I did to my bike from then till now to prove her long lastingness;

 

1) Total mileage is 120K km

2) Still using the third chain-sprocket set to date.

3) Changed rectifier once

4) Changed front brake disc once, din noe the pad worn off and "eating" the disc

5) Changed rear shock once

6) Changed the bearings below the shocks once

7) Changed front and rear wheel bearings three times

8) Changed Throttle and clutch cables twice

9) Changing third fork oil seal after this Tues or Wed.(left side leaking liaoz)

10) Changed handle grip once

11) Changed gear lever once

 

Tyres used b4;

1) Dunlop's for Bandit original (forgot the model)

2) Metz m1 or something,

3) Dunlop's GT401 arrowmax

4) Bridgestone Battlax BT45 ever since.

 

So far that's all i remembered for now. Just checking, Wat tyre do you guys recommend to change, how much (labour incl) and where ah?

 

Thanks and hope to share and learn from you brudders out there. Cheers!!!

Welcome to the bandit forum, you must love the bandit very much to ride the bike for so long.

 

For the fork try installing a fork protector it will help to protect your fork and make it last longer. I did the mod with a carb cleaner cover and some cable tie. Can use PVC pipe oso.

 

I'm using IRC tires from the previous owner still plenty of life left on the back but the front is balding soon, my choice is with BT090.

Nice bandit600 you got there.

[S750WP]

Just got myself a second kappa windshield, I painted it red, now my bike is getting to look like kata_killer bandit.

[Guest Mariner]

Thanks for the info bro. Wats the price for BT090 front and back incl labour? For my BT45, both tyres total cost $159.95 incl gst and another $20 for labour but the catch is that I've to buy the tyres and send it to another shop nearby to change'em.Cheap or not?

Not sure abt the tire price because I have never change them before, I guess HKL and LAB sells the cheapest tires in the market.

Just measure the diameter across the lower fork, then go to hardware shop that sells PVC pipe and buy 1 metre, try to get the thinner one because its easier to saw.

 

Then cut to the require length you want, and cut the PVC pipe to halves spray it black and secure with black cable tie. The unused PVC pipe can sell to the rest of the bandit brudders here.

 

Also can try to get Bandit 1200 fork protector from KS and mod to fit the bandit400. Mah motorpart selling Honda one, and Jefferey told me can mod to fit our bandit, but not sure how much.

Can try Datsun's Father shop, its quoted at $80 inclusive of parts and labour.

 

Kata_Killer: I'm going to change my clutch plate, engine oil next month at planet motor, can ask Chong to give me discount. Can feel my engine is getting rough using the Total engine oil after approx 1000km. Previously using the Repsol 3000km still very smooth.
