GSF250 - 1998 Bandit Manual

[Beren]

I just had a very welcome suprise. The previous owner of the Bandit I bought has delivered unto me a USB stick with the English version of the Bandit 250 owners manual. :yes::yes:

I understand these are a tiny bit hard to come by - so am happy to share if anyone has need?

[The Everlasting]

Oh yes please,I have a 99 Bandit..:)

PM me with an email addy and I will wing it over - compressed it is just shy of 5mb so easilly emailable.

I had a bastard of a time looking for the service manual once upon a time, never found one. But this is only an owners manual right?

[Beren]

I'm not entirely sure - and left the stick at home today. Will be printing it out and reading through it Friday night in preparation for servicing the bike at the weekend. I think it is an owners manual - 70ish pages long, gives instruction on how to do most of the work a normal person would need to on a bike... but didn't see any exploded parts diagrams or the like.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Sure a 95 Bandit cant be too far off a 98??

Wouldnt mind grabbing a copy. PM sent

[Beren]

Did you guys get the manual through at the weekend? Would love to know which one it is!

[Hopeful Bastard]

Yupp. Got it. Thanks Alot.


Page 2 states:


Motorcycling is one of the Most exhilarating sports and to ensure your riding enjoyment, you should become thoroughly familiar with the information presented in this Owners Manual before riding the motorcycle.

[Beren]

LOL - Ok cool, so I have obviously not studied it in depth yet!

[maggot]

Any copies of this still floating around?

Just bought a GSF250 and need a few parts for it and was wondering what the used parts situation is in New Zealand as here in the UK they seem difficult to locate.

Thanks

Hi, if your Bandit is a 1992 it is an older type that was only officially sold in Japan, so as far as I know there are no English documents for it. Another poster on here though (chap called Ducatilover) apparently knows a guy with an English manual for this bike but he hasn't been able to get his dirty little mitts on it yet.

However, you might find this website useful: http://www.synapse.ne.jp/s-hara/bandit/index.html

Run it through Google Translate, it takes a while to get the hang of understanding the Jinglish translations but you'll figure it all out. I've had a 1992 Bandit 250 for the last four years and that site has been invaluable in keeping the bike running.

[petermessert]

Thanks for the info!!!

I think the newer gsf 250 manual would be great also.
I should ask this user Ducatilover about the manual, but i cannot send PM-s because low involvement level.

Best regards
Peter

Have a copy of the owners manual for a later model bandit 250. Not a service manual unfortunately. The bandit 400 service manual which I found online should be quite similar. Will send them tomorrow when I'm on a pc. Great bike you have there btw!

[petermessert]

If anyone can help me out with a service manual on any language for the old GSF 250 Bandit, please let me know.

This may be helpful to other 250 bandit owners too :-)

I found some japan language sites, wich describes quite mutch of the maintenance and service tasks. The first site you may know allready, because it has two (frequently referred) english pages .
Google translate makes them completely usable:
