Title: B4 progress...
Post by: todius on June 20, 2005, 05:55:44 PM
Well, it's been a while since my first post when I had just bought a 92 Bandit400.  So far, I've put alot of work into her and still have quite a bit to go.   Instead of trying to tweak the stock carbs to run right, I went ahead and just ordered a jet kit & K&Ns like Maniac suggested.  More waiting for parts (I hate that!)

So far I have cleaned the carbs & replaced all their seals,  painted the engine, replaced all rusted bolts w/stainless, rewired half the bike & installed protective wire loom, bled the brake system, adjusted valves, re-keyed the gas & seat locks, replaced the clutch & brake levers, and mounted some mirrors.  Ya know, the basics.

Still yet to complete... install jet kit & air filter, replace fork seals, replace chain & sprockets (ordered 520 conversion since 525 chains seem to be very pricey), & get insurance so I can ride her.    Did I mention I hate waiting on parts?

I'm in the same boat, except your ahead of me. I just got my B4 last weekend and have pretty much tore the whole thing down. Now its just a matter of ordering some parts (carb O-rings and some seals) & signal generator and hopefully I'll be on my way. To replacing other stuff that is...
The list is kinda long but I thats ok since I have another bike to ride while I'm wrenching on this one. It gives me something to do.

Good Luck.
