I think I have to replace my lower control arms as well. My 2008 colt has a loud clunking noise on hard acceleration. Ive tried replacing swaybar bushings, swaybar endlinks, and now tie rod ends (because they were leaking grease), and yet i can still hear clunking noise. I'd rather replace the lower control arm as a whole because there's a high probability that it may be bent or twisted from years of use. It'll cost $120 AUD each, but it'll be worth it

I am wondering about the pistons though....were they even looked at? Maybe I missed that part?

Strong but with feeling! Not the Bosch recommended 28nm torque then?

I must try that. Mine are a mess. I just got this Mk1 and done about 100 miles. It's been wrong from the start. It's set at factory 1 3/4 out. The needle is 4th from the top

thought floats are 17mm? Live and learn

👍

Or you just cleaned/ change the axle joint to a new one?

Hi! Is it really necessary remove the CV axle, or not?

That's the way to do it - THX

Muchas gracias

Great Video! one small tip I do: wrap the exhaust under the oil filter with aluminum foil... when the job is done, remove the foil and the exhaust stays nice and clean (dry) - free of oil so you don't have to wipe it up after and and oil won't get into the places you can't reach! Cheers!

part number? Details of part please

Very good video

Where did you get clutch disc?

Vielen Dank für die Info

This is the video I was waiting for. I don't know if I have the guts to do such a great change. After 220k km it's time to replace the chain. Greetings from Italy

Fantastically detailed job ...A real credit to you. My 2012 1.3 Colt CZ2 has done 105k miles and clutch is getting close to it's limit of adjustment. Do you know if there is a big difference between the 1.1 and the 1.3 clutch replacement procedure please?

Ma super sve to tako dok je vruc...sutra ujutru prvo paljenje snimi,tad ces da vidis sta si uradio

Hi, friend. I love your mechanics videos. Where is the continuation of this engine?

Thanks bro I would of never known that there is another screw underneath 😅

Thanks!

I changed the oil pump gear in my '02 Roadie a few years ago, and dropped one of those Allen fasteners down into the case! Thank God for those magnets on a stick. I was able to retrieve the screw with no problems, and immediately after getting it out, went in to change my shorts. Hang onto those screws. I had the old type gear, and even with the panic of the screw in the crankcase, the job went well, and works fine. I also upgraded to Barnett clutch pressure plate.

Doing mine today after a full carb clean and rebuild. One of the easier ones. Try a VF, now that is hard.

If it has hydraulic lifters then why do the valves need adjusted?

Very good video. Thanks it is helpful to me 🙂

Do you have to remove the engine mount on the left hand side of the bay or can it be done without?

Good work! Creative solution. 😊

Nice work and video my friend! Thank you. I am about to get one of these too and have no idea what to look for at this bike, but now i have some small idea. Any hints I could check before buying this bike? Thank you

Hey what brand of shock absorber did you use and where did you purchase it ?

Doctor :)

Great job, thanks for the fantastic video footage. Tremendous skill.

Nice video thanks... just a question what are symptoms that you need to check valve clearences??

Hi! Could you please provide the dimensions of the clutch plate centering tool, including lengths and diameters?

You have to take this carbs completely apart and rins them with ultrasonic cleaner then they will work, and get rid of that garbage fuel filter it's asking for trouble, Suzuki has no filter on the fuel line, it's in the fuel tank

totally half ass job..... why even post a video if you don't use the proper tools ?? your a good example of what "not to do"......

Do you need to adjust the clutch pedal after changing the clutch ?

👍

Thanks man professional video really i believe this will help cause im going to buy one soon, i have a question if you don't mind how about fuel consumption is good ?

I wouldn't normally comment but this guy has done a really good job of showing what this is like. This early bandit tends to have few faults at full throttle, a bit of a wobble in the mid-range at 3000, and appalling idle, and jerky tootling about. They really need larger idle jets, and mikuni do them, you need two to 3 steps larger (this will not help emissions). But the cause of this is less than perfect idle jets AND passages. You need to look at the exit holes while spraying cleaner in the other side of the idle circuit. There is better fuel pipe now to deal with modern fuel. These are truly great bikes if you have the skills. Oddly they need gearing one tooth extra on the back sprocket for max speed, to rev out.

So the car does not have any jackign points?

The fisrt thing everyone should do is undo the filter. Never drain the oil first.

Thank you so much. Liked and commented! My trans is loud and the clutch is starting to smell too so I Gotta replace those. I already did oil, filters, and trans oil. But i don't know if I can do this 😅

Well done. Guess what I am doing tomorrow?

Bandit is how i learned to work on carbs. Although personally i went with the factory pro kit and some k&n's. Got tired of working around the airbox 🤣. About to finally replace my 1200 with a new 765 street. But will always have a soft spot for these bikes.

👍

Wow! Just the video that I needed. Thank you so much, it is so well explained and so clear. It’s the only video that I found explaining this. Thank you so much!

Great video, you have my respect for going it at it alone. My clutch is at 198k km currently, been waiting for your video to get the courage to do mine lol. Hopefully I won't run into as many issues since my car isn't as rusty down there but I also don't have the milling machines you have to fix things so fingers crossed. Going by your video, I think you should bleed the gearbox first before taking it out and also mark the bolts and their placement with a marker. Not sure but I think you also don't need to remove the right wheel arm to get to the clutch. Thanks for the video!

Nice video. Respect , you made it all alone. ( heavy gearbox was a problem, as I saw.. ). But next time, use your seatbelt, for the testdrive too. 🙂😉 I have the same Colt, but the facelift model, so thanks for the video. Slowly..I need to replace the clutch too. It has 173.000 km.
