They are great little bikes, lots of fun and enough power to have fun. You don't need to be doing 300miles to have fun. The sound is epic

@@goozlo definitely. i remember the first time i made it 130 on mine. what a rush. 14000 rpm

Maybe some day soon we will meet!

Bandit 400 is water cooled only. It didn't have oil cooler.

@@goozlo saves weight and aslong as you keep up with the old changes and flushes you'll Be fine

Άλλος είναι ο φαντομάς, "κόρη ναυάρχου" που έλεγε και στην ταινία

@@goozlo Λογω του νεαρού της ηλικίας μου δεν ξέρω αμα την πρόλαβα αυτή την ταινία, αλλά θα συμφωνήσω!Αναφέρομαι φυσικά στον Spooky που είναι πάνω στο μπρελόκ.Μιας και ενδιαφέρομαι για αγορά του συγκεκριμένου μοντέλου μήπως θα μπορούσες να μου δώσεις 1-2 συμβουλές για το ποια μέρη να προσέξω που πιθανό να είναι χρονοβόρο και ασύμφορο να αντικατασταθεί εαν εντοπιστεί ζημιά?

Σε γενικές γραμμές είναι πολύ δύσκολο να βρεις bandit 400 σε καλή κατάσταση καθώς είναι 30 ετών μηχανή. Επίσης οι αναρτήσεις είναι άθλιες, ειδικά το πηρουνι. Τα φρένα είναι πολύ καλά, έως κορυφαία. Λόγο ηλικίας θέλει πλήρη ανακατασκευή στα καρμπυρατέρ και εκεί είναι που έχει πολύ κακη φήμη το Bandit. Πρέπει να αλλάξεις όλα τα ζιγκλερ με καινούργια αυθεντικά, καθώς και φλογέρες και βελόνες για να δουλέψει σωστά και να μην έχεις πρόβληματα. Αυτό θα σου κοστίσει περίπου 200- 300 ευρώ και αν δεν το κάνεις, καλύτερη μην αγοράσεις bandit. Ηλεκτρικά προβλήματα δεν έχει και ας λέει ο κόσμος, οι διακοπές προέρχονται από τα καρμπυρατέρ. Θες καινούργιο ανορθωτή, μπορείς να βάλεις μεταχειρισμένο σύγχρονο από άλλο μοντέλο αν πιάνει το χέρι σου, εγώ έβαλα από bandit 1250. Πίσω αμορτισερ ταιριάζει από zx10r 2009 ή zx6r 2007 και είναι must, πρέπει μόνο να μετακινήσεις το δοχείο του ψυκτικού. Ανάλογα την κατάσταση θα θέλει ρουλεμάν λαιμού, τροχών και γενική φροντίδα. Οικονομικά δεν αξίζει, αλλά αν το φτιάξεις σωστά είναι απόλαυση και ο κινητήρας αν και αδύναμος για τα σημερινά δεδομένα είναι κτήνος

@@goozlo Φίλε μου σ'ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για τις συμβουλές,αν και δεν το έχω δει ακόμα το μηχανάκι απο κοντά,εμφανισιακά τουλάχιστον τόσο στο σκελετό όσο και σε δυσπρόσιτα μέρη φαίνεται καθαρό.Θα τα΄χω στα υπόψιν κ εννοείται εφόσον προχωρήσω σε αγορά αυτά θα είναι τα πρώτα πράγματα που θα κοιτάξω να δω σε τι κατάσταση βρίσκονται.Κ πάλι ευχαριστώ για το χρόνο σου,να'σαι πάντα καλά!

I prefer to keep the classic look and I really like the gauges, they bring up memories from 20 years ago. Since that video I've tuned the carbs and runs much better and faster, but it's a 400cc can't ask for much. It's still very fun to ride and it feels fast enough

To be honest it's a very simple but also very old bike. You need to prepared to service everything like a restoration. I would think it would be near to impossible to find a well maintained for sale. Having said that, if you are willing to work on it yourself it should be easy and cheap to fix. But the only way to make the engine run properly is full rebuild of the carburettor which can easily cost you £200-£300. I would also expect the fuel tank to be rusty

@@goozlo thank you mate , it doesnt sound impossible ^^

It's a fork from gsxr 1000 k5. Forks, wheel, bottom triple clamp are from gsxr. The triple clamp had the stem pressed out and replaced with the bandit stem because of the length. Obviously gsxr1000 is dual brake disk. Brake calipers are from kawasaki Zx10r and top yoke is custom from topyokes in order to use handlebar. This bandit was japan import and already had dual disk brakes. It's definitely worth the conversion, it feels like a 10k bike now

You need to relocate the coolant tank under the tail covers to make room

There is no comparison between bandit 400 and 650. They are 20 years apart. Bandit 400 is light and fun. Bandit 650 is average budget bike that gets easily demolished by kawasaki Z750 of same age and price

@@goozlo650 Bandit Demolished by a Z750,??, only top end I'll bet. In '84 my GPZ750turbo. First production bike any size, to do the standing quarter mile in 10 seconds, great, great bike, would sit at 140mph all day long, and it was planted, safe at high speeds, 161MPH. 650 Bandit, capable of just over 80mph in 2nd, before the red-line, 750 turbo, 2nd gear???, 650 Bandit, much more joy, first ride, 27 years, in ernest, testing it out, dry empty roads, 2 miles later, brand new Focus ST, trying too lord it over me. Came across a PERFECT STORM in 4th gear, not trying, slight left, right chicane, could only twitch bars, felt like an industrial catapult got it going. At lights ST pulls up, window down, 'What you've got there is very, very SPECIAL'. I said big story is it red lines at 12,000 RPM, driver laughed, we parted, hindsight, should have said, red line 12,000 RPM, see when I left you for parked,???, never went above 6,500 RPM. My 650 Bandit, would be all over a 650 Bandit S, let alone a Bandit 600,so.a Bandit 400, don't get me wrong, probably about as much fun as a RD350LC, but my 2005 GSF 650 BANDIT, 400 Bandit, not in the same league!!!!. Don't care about top end speed, all about the acceleration. Favourite Kawasaki, VT9

Fav. Kawasaki, GT750 shaft drive, workhorse of a bike, it too would sit at 140mph all day long, planted, sure. March 85, Glasgow to Leeds, petrol station near Carlisle, police come flying in, 'Your under arrest, we've been chasing you for 30 miles doing over 120mph, God knows what you were doing???, Dumfies Sheriff Court said 138mph, fined 50 pounds, banned 3 months, oh, that GT750 was so planted. So over top speeds. Perfect Storm, 3RD gear, 40,50 yards up a steep hill, before right at lights, fast forward X4, Biggest Biking BUZZ Ever. And I ain't even lying. Professor Bandit 650 B.T.E.out.

It's from gsxr 1000 K5-6 with gsxr 600 k4 springs that are softer

Gsxr 1000 k5-k6
