Rebuilding the Bandit
Rebuilding Bandit
Just Got a Red Bandit 2 weeks back and now i am rebuilding it.
Will try to DIY myself but if I really cannot cope then I will engage S750WP's help.
As now, the things that I think surely needs to do is:
Technical - sure need
1. Wash carburettors.
2. wash air filter,or change, as old one koyat,
really tempt to use the open air filter as we seen in some of the TW's mod
but concerned abt how to hold the carburetors on that end as the airbox serve as a
structural mounting for the carb on one end.
3. change spark plug, previous owner use Denso U27 which is too cold
will use CR8K or U24 , all 4 old spark plug are black when removed.
spark plug no. 3 and 4 are also rusty, evident that Bandit's plug cap will allow water to
sip in during rain or washing, will have to think of addon a bigger rubber cap or use big a
rubber mat to cover all 4 plug as I have seen before in some of the Honda's bike but then 1 big radiator hose is in the way on each side
4. change clutch plates
Techical - optional (see how is the performance after the above- sure need is done)
1. may need to change the the spark plug wire and cap, now it really looks crap but
can still fire
2. change front fork oil
3. remove the rear suspension and bring it to shop to rebuild (will try teck thye)
Cosmetic - sure need
1. respray tank
2. front fender and rear fender
still unsure of the final colour whether how much to change to black and how much retain itas red.
Thanks t0 Sambal's Picture, I got a better impression of the outlook when it is sprayed 'very' black.
I am still trying to preview the look by painting some part black to see how it looks using MS paint - a very primitive designing method.
