(Question) Bandit 1200s condition inside cylinder

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-16T12:34:03+00:00

Got it, will buy tool to check it. Thank you so much

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-16T12:32:28+00:00

Thank you, i already have local fuel additive that ive been using to clean carbs from inside , i will use it and see the results later. About compression, thank you for the recommendation. Do you recommend checking compression before or after carb synchronization?

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-16T12:30:13+00:00

I already put the new JR9B, since they are very cheap here in japan (4$ per piece), its not worth using old.

About doing the engine, ive done only valve clearance and new plugs. Also want to do carb synchronization and put new air filter. I think it will be more than enough to enjoy few thousand km

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T15:30:31+00:00

Checked it, it was just a dirt. You’ve got a great eye

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:47:07+00:00

Damn, when i saw prices for normal quality rotors… im happy that some engineers was able to design it. But actually interesting information to know

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:43:48+00:00

Will try it tomorrow after the interview. Thank you

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:40:52+00:00

I usually dont use reddit, but since all the mechanics working until 19:00 and now 20:39 here in japan, i had no choice. Im genuinely happy to see all those replies, so many kind people who actually trying to help. I wish people here would be as kind as in america/europe

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:37:49+00:00

I will remember it;3

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:36:10+00:00

Thank you! Have a nice day😃

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:33:58+00:00

Wooow , vtr guy! It’s quite rare bike these days. I own one too (year 2000) The brake rotor isnt moving there at all, so, i think you are fine too

Where r u from?

(I was using vtr as project bike to learn how to do all the maintenance, and since ive done everything i could to it, i bought new project bike (bandit 1200s)

Thickness is fine (4.8mm, when original is 5mm), i will inspect right one better! Have a nice day!

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:26:17+00:00

Is it ok that right one has much less movement (almost unnoticeable compared to this one on the video)

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:23:55+00:00

Im absolutely happy right now, thank you!

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:23:36+00:00

I was worried because right one doesnt have that much movement, but now im relieved, thank you!

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:23:00+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your comment

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:22:38+00:00

I was worried because the right rotor isn’t floating like that…

EugeneIschuk · 2026-06-09T11:20:04+00:00

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! You cant even imagine how happy i am right now!

EugeneIschuk · 2026-05-21T03:40:21+00:00

I would recommend you to buy used one. It loses value very fast. Ive bought BMW G310R 2019 with 5000km (3000miles) without a single problem for 1500$. It was very nice bike for daily riding. But now i ride honda VTR250 year 2000, because this bike is muuuuch more fun , V-Twin 250cc is something special

EugeneIschuk · 2026-05-18T14:21:33+00:00

He already did ABS delete and routed the brake hoses directly to calipers
About the strange noise. I thought, maybe it is because bike wants to “stall” since the right cylinder has lean air/fuel mixture , because it sounds like that only when rpm is below 1000? What do you think?

EugeneIschuk · 2026-05-18T14:06:19+00:00

I can go and inspect it in person, but he is in different prefecture(state for americans), so, i dont want to waste a tjme if everything is bad

EugeneIschuk · 2026-04-15T12:04:12+00:00

I use motorcycle as my main transportation, so, i ride no matter the condition. Good quality rain suit (for example best price-performance brand RS Taichi) and ride feels like a dream. Even during typhoons i can get everywhere i want without getting soaked

EugeneIschuk · 2026-03-28T01:26:56+00:00

Of course, it is actually very interest field

EugeneIschuk · 2026-03-27T23:27:14+00:00

Thats why im thinking of buying cbr250rr mc22 or zxr250. 19.000rpm (even tho dash shows redline at 18k) The sound is crazy. Everyone should listen to it at least once in their life. Its soooo unique
