Howdy peeps

[Trow]

hey Folks, just thought I would pop my head in the door and say hello. I am a biker of about 10 years now, I currently own a 2000 Bandit 1200N back in the UK but decided to sell it since I am now the proud owner of a brand new Gun Metal Bandit 1200N (I know, 2 bandits but ya gotta love the wheelies) I currently live in the north Shore so would be keen to meet up with other bikers in the area.. I only take delivery of the bandit in a couple of weeks so will post photos when I get it (although am sure you all know what a bandit looks like) :ride:

Btw, is there a renthal dealer on the shore, I want to get a set of dirt bike handle bars for the bandit? oh and tires! want rid of the macadams :mad:

well look forward to chatting with like minded peeps

Scott.

Welcome aboard chap!

Check out the calender for get togethers and rides - good way to meet people. Come along for a drink or three on occasion - you get the idea.

We are nuts - but apart from that we're mostly ok.

Hi, Trow!

Welcome to the Kiwi Biker gargre! :wavey:
Sorry - can't help with the Renthals - try ringing some of the bike shops, or wati for somone on here to speak up.. As for tyres - try Cycletreads in Barrys Point Road, Takapuna, or if you can get over the bridge, Kerry at Motohaus in Kingsland. Come to think of it - either of those places could probably sort you out for bars too.

[Trow]

thanks folks for the warm welcome! yeh I would love to come along for a beer or three sometime... being Scottish (sorry shetlander) I kinda pride myself in that area :D

Is there many people on the board that have bandits, I quite fancy getting the dynojet kit (stage3) but heard that it can be a bit lumpy bottom end? don't know if it's worth it or not (specially in the Auckland traffic)

As for tires, al check out the place in Barry's point Rd, I bought the bandit from Holeshot so it's quite close.

BTW if your interested to take a look, I try to attend my bikers Rally back in Shetland called the Simmer Dim Rally, page here:

Hi Trow. Nothing wrong with having two similar bikes (even at the same time). Welcome to NZ and the KB gargre.

Can't help with the tyres or bars cos I live in Wellington. I have bought tyres off Cycletreads sometimes though.

Welcome,
Check this out for Bandit tuning
http://www.banditsrus.com/fastlarry/banditfaq.htm
I did the re-jet and shimmed the needles and now it idles smooth and only needs the choke for 30 secs -$40 for the jets from Colemans
Also disconnect the timing retard switches fo 2nd and 3rd gears
Look at the metzeler Z6 -great wear and grip

[Trow]
