Hi There!
Just recently came full circle and bought a 2001 Bandit 600s. My first bike was a 600 Bandit and now it's my 6th!!
If that isn't an endorsement, I don't know what is. It was stock with 5500 miles, new plugs, oil....$2800!! Thought that was a pretty good deal.
Runs great, very smooth. Only glitch is the tank has been Kreemed and some of the Kreem is peeling a bit around the filler neck. Rather than re-Kreem it, I thought I would first just put a fuel filter in -line. Any idea which one would work with a bandit 600 and where would I get it?
Also....need a service manual: Haynes or Klymer (sp?).
I am in Dalton, GA BTW if anyone wants to go for a ride sometime.

You can run about any kind of inline filter, as long as you can find a place to put it. Just beware, and dont put it on backwards (fuel only flows one direction on most, ask me how I know). I personally dont run one, because I had alot of problems with filters restricting fuel flow on my old bike. But its better to have filter problems than carb problems I suppose.
As for manuals, keep your eyes open on ebay for a factory one. they are by far the best. But in a pinch I prefer clymer over haynes.
