I am looking for a shop I can order in a variable timing head for my bandit 250 1999 model.  Im living in ireland.  Where can i get it?? and anyone know how much it costs? also a clutch kit?  My bike is in bits, needs loads of work :sad: and getting some parts seems to be impossible

PLEASE HELP
thanks

your only hope is bike breakers in ireland or the uk, unless you know someone who speaks japanese, getting parts for the 250s is impossible, suzuuki uk dont want to know about them, even for basic things like clutch cables .

there's cityspares in dublin but they're a bit hit and miss.
there are lots in the uk, have a look on biker.ie for links and recommendations.

I didnt get new clocks, that was theslyfox, pm him and ask him, he's a member on www.irishbikerforum.com aswell.
He paid 700 quid for clocks, i shudder to think what you'll pay for engine components, try all the bike breakers you can find before buying from suzuki.

Hmmm... maybe a swap of a B4 engine would be just as cost effective?  :motorsmile:

That would be a good idea, its getting one over here thats not in a worse state than his 2.5 is already, plus theres not many b400 here probably less than the b2.5, lots of 6,9,12 though........theres an idea lots of power min weight and brakes hmmm :gatlin

I'm considering a 400 swap into my 250, as my carbs are screwed, and getting parts for them is pretty much impossible.
I must scour the breakers yard for 400's

Didn't know there was a bandit 900! Seen a couple of 750's, and a million 1200's.
