SUZUKI BANDIT 250 & 400 / Re: Gouraami's 400 bandit project
« Last post by Gouraami on April 30, 2021, 09:05:16 AM »Hey everyone!
I am glad this forum still exists
Based on the date of the last post the Bandit has been standing for almost 5 years
It also means that 5 years later I still don't have the use of my finger. It is also the bandits 30th Birthday!
I do still plan on reviving the old girl, but for now it is in the same state i bought it in. A non runner, under a layer of dust being used to store stuff on top of.
I have over the past few years found replacement parts after the accident, the final part outstanding is one side cover. I think it is complete otherwise.
I did use the bike as is after the accident for a few months once I healed (and hit a pedestrian
), but eventually it lost compression on cylinder 3. I am not too worried, I am sure it is a valve seating/burn problem.
This thread will be revived!

SUZUKI BANDIT 250 & 400 / bandit 400 missing shifts?
« Last post by glamabilly on April 01, 2021, 12:13:59 PM »My bandit 400 seems to be missing up shifts every once in a while, first to second, and sometimes 2nd to 3rd, but I could be wrong about that, it might only be 1st to 2nd. It's not every time, just under hard acceleration, so I'm assuming its the dogs getting rounded off, or maybe a worn shift fork not moving a gear over far enough. I'm expecting the worst. If I'm very deliberate shifting, it seems to shift ok. So my question, is this a common problem with the 400cc engine? what is most likely the issue? I would love it to be just an adjustment, but like I said I'm expecting the worst. If it is the Dogs, I've seen photos on the internet where people have undercut them for better holding strength, can that be done? Can a dog be ground to give it a sharper less rounded edge? I'm planning to take the engine out this weekend, so I'll see for myself what's in it, but a little info before I crack the cases open would be useful.
thanks.
thanks.

BIKES/PARTS/GEAR for sale/wanted / FS: One Of A Kind B4
« Last post by THI on March 13, 2021, 04:12:23 PM »I have here a very unique 1992 GSF400. I bought the bike all stock from the original owner in 2009 with 5K original miles. Its current mileage is approximately 11.5K miles. Over the years, I have upgraded the bike with the following:
RF900 Chrome Swingarm & Chain Guard
GSXR600 Chrome Front & Rear Wheels
Pirelli Angel GT 120/70/17, 180/55/17
GSXR400 Header with dual Holeshot Silencers & removable baffles
GSXR400 Oil Pan & Pickup
Shindengen Mosfet regulator
Truck-Lite Led Headlight
Led F&R turn Signals
Led Gauge Cluster lighting
Headlight Trim from GSF650
Gimbel Seat Cowl with custom padding
Retrofitted Triumph Street Triple Bellypan
Lockhart Phillips Tank Cover
New oem rear left & right fairings in black.
Custom Framesliders
This bike has been meticulously maintained by myself as well as the original owner. It's always been garaged which you can see in condition of factory original paint. The bike starts easily and runs smoothly all thru the gears. I've always used 93 octane ethonal-free gas & Mobil 1 Synthetic oil in the bike. The bike will come with brand new Yuasa YT12A-BS battery. I am asking $5000/FIRM and will only respond to serious buyers. You will not find another Bandit 400 like it in the US or anywhere in the world! Please email me at tlcao@hotmail.com if you are interested. The bike is located in Burlington, North Carolina.
Here is a short video of the bike:
