No excuses needed for bike content!
One of the first things I had to do with my 98 bandit was a new front brake switch.
Cheap aftermarket one was fitted. Genuine are not expensive. So genuine it was.
I had to replace the factory exhaust. It was 18 years old, more rust than metal, and snapped at the collector.
Fitting a stock/factory one? new is no longer available. And would have been about £2,500 last time it was available. I saw no point in replacing what was at the time an 18 year old exhaust with an 18 year old exhaust. Replacing rusty old crud with rusty old crud. Black widow.
I got the screen, like the one on yours.
All three brake calipers were seized up. Sent off for refurbishing.
Seat sent off for new foam and recovering.
New clutch cable, again genuine,
Remove centre stand, clean and lubricate pivot bushings.
Replace clutch release worm drive unit, genuine.
And I could go on. And on.
But I love it.
Sounds like yours is a well loved Bandit. They’re great bikes, love mine (except it never wants to shift into neutral 😕)
I must admit I didn’t even look into a genuine brake switch, just bought one off ebay, hopefully it’ll last, but if it fails I’ll definitely go for a genuine one next time 👍
I just bought a 98 for $150 USD. I've had a 1200 turbo and I missed it so much after selling I've been looking for one ever since. Can't wait to get her road worthy
Wow, that’s an amazing price, even for one that needs work. Good luck with it!
@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness it's gonna be a great bike. Fired it up yesterday and it sounds very healthy. Currently cleaning the carbs and about to reassemble
I had one of these back in 1996 when they were first launched. A great first bike.
Apart from the Kawasaki Versys I had it’s my favourite bike I’ve owned. Only issue with it now is it doesn’t always want to go into neutral 😕
So glad to have come across this video as a first time video. I would never have known you had a haircut recently! Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it 😄 we’ll have some more motorcycle based videos coming soon
Super glad you have other projects to turn too when the MR2 gets too much! Goodness knows you've spent plenty of time with it
Yeah I like to have multiple projects on the go, gives me something else to do when I need a break from one. One day I’ll get back to the cb500 project
Much better with the stock exhaust IMO.
I think I’ll prefer the stock exhaust in the long run, as the aftermarket one did get a bit droney, but hearing them back to back I did think the aftermarket one sounded nicer
I recently swapped the 4-1 aftermarket on my GPX750R back to the original 4-2. Much more pleasant.
I did add a Scorpion SS exhaust to my scooter which deepens the note, but the main reason behind that was the existing exhaust was rusting to nothing (after only 3 yr) and I did not want to replace with the same. I took one trip on it without the baffle and even from it's 125cc it sounded like a badly tuned Harley. It was a total red neck! @@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness
Clones are very handy, especially when they have all their fingers.
Indeed, handy and expendable
Someone watches Fortnine!
I would have been pacing the garage, tearing out my non existent hair wondering why that part looked exactly like the stock part I got for awhile. LOL Nice to take on and complete simple projects in between ones that are harder.
I like that the colours nearly match.
Next time on Episode 2, Attack of the Clones.
I hope not, don’t think I’d stand a chance against all three of them
@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness you should put in an Order 66 button on the bike execute it in the final video! 😂
first upgrade is new oil and add ceramizer second control walwes
I did oil, filter, chain and sprockets. Not heard of ceramizer though, I’ll check it out

Friend, please tell me.
What is the length of the front (and rear) reinforced rose hoses?
And is there a difference in length between the front hoses?
I enjoyed the aside*(s) for the clones.
Do you have some affiliate link for one of those clones? They seem handy to have laying around. Also we don't have lots of cheese in our house so that's not an issue for us.
That exhaust is completely nackered 😂 im very suprised you are re-using it, delkevic sell the whole system for around £350-£400, if you get the 450mm slip on with DB killer it isnt very loud, bandit 650 is 77hp stock but with a slip on delkevic claim 88hp
Yeah I was surprised at how rusted the joiner section was, as the rest of the downpipes look great. But as long as it doesn’t leak I’ll keep running it, don’t think it’s got much life left in it though 😕
@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness they rust badly on the collector, you can get it repaired but it's not worth it, it will rust again 😆 very common on all bandits, I'd keep the original exhaust though, it's a rare sight to see a stock one, God bless
But say that interesting 👍
