Anthony Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Turns out a bandit 12 is harder to tame then a 6=>33BHP kit fitted=>Mixture reset=>Carburettors balanced=>Valves checked=>ServicedHowever:> Engine sounds like its deciding if it wants to drop a cylinder> Sounds rough, much like an old man would after smoking 50 a dayI'm popping to garage tomorrow but want an idea of what could be wrong as i hate garage bullshit RegardsAnthony Quote
Guest Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Whats wrong ? 1200600 IL4's are about the limit to restricting, anything bigger would run really crap IMO. Quote
Anthony Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 oh well, i wil have it running soon Quote
Guest Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) Of course there's nothing stopping them from, ahem, falling out Edited January 29, 2010 by Anonymous Quote
rennie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 it ought to run fine with the restrictors!might just need setting up Quote
Pete Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I ride with a mate who's got a Bandit 1200 which has only just been de-restricted so it can definitely be done. IMO:=>33BHP kit fitted - obviously needs to be done=>Mixture reset - normal=>Carburettors balanced - normal and good to do this every now and then anyway=>Valves checked - nothing to do with restricting, but should be part of a major service=>Serviced - again nothing to do with restricting, but if it's time to do it then do it!And as for these:> Engine sounds like its deciding if it wants to drop a cylinder - bummer> Sounds rough, much like an old man would after smoking 50 a day - damnThat's my 2 cents!

Anthony Posted January 31, 2010 Author Posted January 31, 2010 turns out the throttle roll restrictors were not allowing the sliders to open far past the pilot jet Quote

Anthony Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 FI are getting a call from the garage who fitted them saying they do not work and are un-fit for purpose but other then that i dunno, the bike runs good and is much nicer without them in, or thats what the garage have said, i aint got it back yet, so all the problem was the stupid restrictors Quote
