Hello all from a newbie,bought myself a 2005 k41200 bandit about a month ago.The lever on the fuel tap is broken so I bought one on eBay from a 2002 model and the seller assured me they would be the same,however when I received it it is different,for one thing the outlet pipe is smaller on the one I bought.Anyone know when they changed them?Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's a 1200 Bandit tap? Fowlers lists the 2001-2005 exactly the same machine. 2006 is different as is pre 2000. Is yours an import or UK bike?

If it's a 2005 UK bike, then that's what it is. Pictures certainly won't help with the greatest of respects.

Is the bit for you machine. Might be able to compare it to the bit you've received.

The lever is only £13 new, so I hope it was cheap!

What file format/type are the images?
Are you uploading from a phone or PC?
There is an image size limit, I forget if it resizes for you or just refuses to upload if too big, I would assume the latter.
If it's one of these: gif jpeg jpg png, then it can't be over 1MB in size.
