Hit the Jelly this morning , not quite a full on slapper but still scared me, and at that i want a steering dampener. trouble is all the companys that make one don't seem to have heard of a bandit 400 . Does anyone know if theres a universal one that i can fit?

The bandit 600 of the same year will fit straight on mate

a friend of mine has one on his. He had the same problem because his is a canadien import.

If you still have problems try the uk bandit club at

https://www.banditclub.net/

Theres a small forum at the bottom of the page.

Don't forget, they really slow down the turning at slow speed.

Hi

I would say check the bike over first to see if you can find what has caused the instability, such as worn or notchy steering head bearings (or even a missing wheel bearing ).

A steering damper doesn't get rid of the wobbles, just disguises them, and if it is down to a fault it gives the problem a chance to get far worse before you notice.

All the best

try sukbog as well...a few people have GSF400s on there and there are a couple of 250s too IIRC

www.sukbog.co.uk....they have a smartgroups mailing list which is slow if you use it through the web but ok through Outlook/OE

there are 2 mailing lists. You can join either technical, social or indeed both

Thanks alot guy's, i checked the bike over but have concluded that its because i raised the back end 4 inch's that the handling is messed. hopefully a dampener will counter act this at least a little.

Thanks.

After viewing 398s pics, i think its fair to say, that his bandit is the nicest looking bandit in the world, ever!

One of the nicest naked bikes ive seen ever, as well. its perfect...

I highly approve.
