Well I finally passed my test and got rid of the Mito and ended up buying a 95 bandit, not exactly what i wanted but very clean and well looked after.
really enjoying more power, but it feels like im riding a bed, its great at higher revs and ive already nearly been caught out on a few corners (cant chuck it about like the mito or a bmx).
Ive done a search on here for the service manual but the posted links dont work anymore.
would be helpfull if someone had a link to a download because its getting embaressing at the moment, today I had to ask in the shop what oil to put in it. felt a right idiot because i use to do all the work myself on the mito, but Im completley lost with the bandit and looking forward to working it all out.
any tips would be great from bandit owners, anything i should know?
thanks in advance

I have one too for the moment as a courtesy bike, the handlebars feel a bit too high for me (don't like the straight back position) but it is a nice smooth ride with a nice clutch, it seems like a good bike to own & fast enough on full power. Enjoy.

Could you mail me a copy please? Thanks.

I have the workshop service manual, I don't have a link. Haynes may be more newbie friendly. Its about 380Mb. If you want it PM your address and I'll post it.

Excellent starter bikes, you'll enjoy it I'm sure. They're plenty quick enough for the roads, cheap to buy, cheap to insure, do ok petrol-wise.

Loads of parts.

Please don't make it up like a tarts hangbag and buy everything off eBay for it. Stupid aftermarket tat makes me sick.
