Title: Is a 2002 Manual OK for 2004 Bandit 1200 ?
Post by: NomisQC on September 28, 2007, 06:30:50 AM

I managed to find a 2002 Bandit 1200 suzuki manual...

I own a 2004 Bandit 1200...

Do you think there are major differences that could lead me in doing something really wrong for the bike ?

I suppose the torque ratings and maintenance procedures for example should be the same, no ?

2001-2005 B1200's are identical... sans some minor cosmetic changes to the muffler.

I think the '01 has a different instrament cluster, but the major mechanical stuff is all the same.

The '01 has its clock as one of the selections in the odometer LCD display, the '02 and on have it in with the fuel gauge display.
'03 or '04 got hazard flashers and a "flash to pass" switch and the bigger one-piece muffler/midpipe. Besides those little things - and color changes - they're the same.
