yes i presume so because it's dog slow and i'm sure it should be faster than it is??????????????????

[phill.c]

what do you get out of it and does it go right in to the red on the rev counter, but saying that it might not be restricted and could be something else. on most restristor kits its four washers which go in the air intakes (i think thats right). the only real way of telling is either dyno or just have look to see if they are there.

a good place for advice for 400's is 400greybike.co.uk alot of them come on here too.

Derestricted I'd expect to see 120mph without too many problems.

Restricted I'd say you'd see about 100mph flat out, and you might find it doesn't pull top gear very well.

It'll be 4 metal washers in the inlet manifold, i.e 'behind' your carbs.

I think our bandits must have strange gearing, because they do seem to have a low top speed for their power.

Either way, restricted should see around a ton full speed.

A VFR400 will do 135mph true speed, So I'd expect 120ish, indicated at least from the bandit.

if thats true what everybody is saying then it is definately restricted or else i'm not pulling the throttle back enough and giving it eno0ugh revs cos it won't do above 70-80mph downhill with very strong wind attached!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gazdaman]

Yes, it should go faster than that.

Is it firing on all cylinders? Are all the downpipes hot while the engine's running?

Gaz

[mark allsopp]

oh yes it fires on all cylinders and i had somebody change the carbs last year because i had one go down perhaps he did not set them up as well as he should have done i have checked every else out even changed plugs and replaced with titanium tipped ones!!!!!!!

[greatmoorred]

sounds like somethings wrong there mate, ive got a 400 bandit and it will do 95, and i assume, a bit more, but it was a country road and it was a bit bumpy
mine sits at 70-75 quite hapily.

[craigs23]

I saw 110 a few times on my Bandit 400, with around 12-12,500 showing on the tacho. I reckon it'll be good for an indicated 115-120.

[quik_d]

my bros will sit at 80 quite happy and thats only 33BHP so the bandit should easy do that and more. Time to start checking things out i think
