As my 2006 bandit has no engine number and I am a complete beginner ..I am a bit suspect on whether it's a 650 or 1250...The rest of my bike has been modified including front forks n brakes are off a 1250 with now ABS and the swinging arm is from a 1250 as the wheel aligners are different from the original spec...Question...how can I tell whether my engine is 1250 or 650...???? Thanks for reading😀

The VIN is saying 650 but I don't think it's the original engine. ..

Put it in top gear. Do you go above 140 easily. If so it's bigger than the 600/650

How Fast does it go?

If it EASILY clears 130 it's a 1250, it is slows down about 100 and 110/120 is a struggle it is a 650.

The 650 has a bore and stroke of 65.5X48.7
The 1250 is 79X64.
Bore is not easy to measure with the head on but stroke is with a pencil down a plug hole.

I think I will leave it for a clear day and take it for a ride....in fact I might be as well as not knowing....140 mph scares me to death at the mo 😮

It's insured as what it is on the VIN which is a 650 but because it's had alot changed on it and it doesn't have a engine number I was wondering whether that was changed too...The previous owner was polish and only had it a couple of months.....its my 1st bike so I bought it coz I liked it...it looks good....I knew I had to jump in head 1st and figure it all out.

I'd not worry. Just give some beans down the motorway and find out.
