Faults:

No real faults so far. Totally reliable.

Seat split at the front shortly after ownership.

If the bike is stored for a time, then carbs need stripping and cleaning. A relatively easy task on Bandits.

General Comments:

Dyno tuned with other mods, 134 BHP.

Twin shotgun race exhaust fitted (totally illegal!!). Sounds awesome.

Renthal bars, twin headlamps, braided hose, wavy discs, white instrument faces.

Braking is excellent, but forks can dive under harsh braking.

Handles well, good ground clearance, but worn tyres can skip on white lines.

Easy to wheelie in the first three gears if the throttle is snapped open.

Easy bike to work on.
