Head Gasket
« on: February 18, 2013, 11:31:06 AM »
Hi All, quick introduction, i'm Chris and i'm looking at buying a 92 400 Bandit.

Have a bit of a plan for some modifications in the future but initially the bike i'm looking at has a suspected failed head gasket.

Are the 400s prone to head gasket failure? Should be a fairly straight forward thing to sort out i guess

Cheers

Chris

They are not prone to head gasket failure.
Not too difficult to do the gasket so long as you have good basic mec skills.
