Thank you for watching! In the next episode we replace the chain kit with a RIVET style chain lock.

Fuuny, i used to watch you rebuild your aprilia rs125. Got a lot of insite. Now I got a gsf600, pretty similar to 1200. Watching yoi again. ❤😂 Greetings from hungary

[@bikedogtor1663]

Haha thanks for the comment. This was the reason I started

Good Show, should turn out a good bike, quite low miles. I have a 99 1200 bandit, when putting it away for winter I use the drain screws on the bottom of 4 carbs to completely remove fuel from them, there would still be a little left if you just ran it until it cuts out, you can see my restart after 1 1/2 years stored on utube channel.

[@bikedogtor1663]

Right to drain them is the best way but most ppl just do nothing before winter and then the carbs end like on this bike.

Excellent video. Great detail of the smaller parts. I will watch your other videos of the bandit 1200 as I have one from this era too (96 B12) and am very interested in the carbs. Thanks

[@sinsooty6290]

Your bandit was immaculate compared to the dog I bought 😄

[@bikedogtor1663]

Hi, there is no OFF on the fuel tank, I guess you could remove the vac hose....

[@bikedogtor1663]

Hi, these valves are activated by the vac hose. No hose - no fuel

[@martinp7256]

@@bikedogtor1663 Exactly, so when you say shut the fuel off (on a bike with no OFF position) the same can be achieved (on a working tap) by disconnecting the vac hose. Then it is possible to run the carbs dry of fuel. OR unscrew the float drains.

[@bikedogtor1663]

@@martinp7256 right, thank you

Ten year fuel isn't fuel, it's something else.
