Suzuki bandit GSF600

[Ditto]

It's not prone to rusting as long as its looked after. Mine is a '98 and has almost no signs of rust. Just a couple of bolts near the oil cooler.

Its only the collector box to be wary of really as its made from cheap steel.

Hi, im looking to buy an 05 plated gsf 600 s next month. As im restricted to 33bhp until march, i was wondering if anyone knew how much restrictor kits are and how much they effect the acceleration and top end?

P.s - its priced at £1850, it lools fairly clean, does this seem like a reasonable price?
Many thanks[/code]

£1850 for a bandit... 600?

Not a chance in hell. An extra few hundred or a fair few hundred less could get an R1, cbr, thundercat, vfr, etc

A bandit 600 isnt worth more than £1200 absolute max. Personally i love em and wouldnt pay more than £800 for a clean one. Might possibly pay £1400 for a bandit 1200, but it'd have to be mint & have some realy tasty engine goodies for that money. Or a GSXR1100 motor.

How the restrictor kit affects it is irrelevant. You have to have one, so you're stuck with the loss of performance regardless. Personally i wouldnt bother fitting em

Hi,
New to the forum page so hopefully this will get viewed by a couple of experts.
Basically I’m making a faired bandit 600s, 02 plate to a naked Model, but struggling to find a top yoke that have the fitments for the clocks/speedo. The mk1 bandit top yoke has the fitments on the yoke for the speedo/clocks
Can someone just clarify weather the yoke dimensions are the same on the mk1 and the mk2 and will just be able to bug a mk1 top yoke and bolt straight on?
Thankyou 😅😅

I have a set of carbs from I believe a Suzuki Bandit. Guy who gave them to me said they were from a Bandit 1200. They were vey dirty and nasty. I throughly cleaned and rebuilt them.

My question now is this: What model and year bike are they for?

I do not think they are for Bandit 1200, but rathre more likley Bandit 600, maybe 2001-2004 ?

I attached a few pics.

Inside diameter of engine side fuel air body is apprx 30 mm.

Thank you for any help !!!!!

Hi everyone.
I've customised a 98 Bandit 600 and am now in the final process of trying to balance the carbs (the wizardry section).
I've added pod filters (cheap ones) and a stubby end can (another cheap one).
I've experimented the OEM main jets and tried some 110 main jets and even drilling out the main jets to 0.04.
so far I think its ok at idle and ok at the 75%+ throttle range and the 0 to 25% (ish) range, but I'm struggling to balance the in between.
Its been suggested to me that I should drill out part of the slide to allow for a better vacuum. or I can try taping up the pods with incremental amounts of tape to try and increase the vacuum.

I'm currently back on the OEM main jets and am at 2 3/4 turns on the mixture screws.

sorry bit of an info dump and not much semblance of order here.... does anyone have any advice on things to try or if I'm going in the right direction?
Many thanks
