Bandit 250 owners manual wanted

**Just beGiNing 250** · 26th February 2008, 08:30

Hi

I recently bought a GSF250 1992 (post october, the 40hp version).
Great Bike, Love it

Does anyone know where I can get an Owners Manual?

you cant/wont

There is a japanese site where a guy has written his own, there is also the bandit forums (sorry at work so dont have time to find links)

I have a '90 model (45hp) and know a fair bit about them - perhaps i can help?

There's quite a few Japanese Language tutors out there.

Thanks, I was looking for one just as a reference to understand the workings of the bike and where the important parts are. I'll keeping looking in the meantime.

There isn;t an English language one as the Bandit 250 was Japanese market only.

You can't get a manual or a reference document in English.

you wont find one, ive tried.
best i ever found was a jap translation for part of one that made bugger all sense.
its a gsxr250 motor anyway so look for that.
there is some good stuff online about the forks and genral stuff that i once found.

Will have a look.

Watch this space,I will see what I can do.

**Wasp** · 26th February 2008, 12:11

marioc, i have access (out of work hours

) to a large photocopier

also i'd be keen to see what you've got there

the jap site was good to me, run it through google and ignore all references to "the great sea bass bandit" and you'll be fine - shows all the workings of the carb/fuel system really well

basically its the owners manual.
Not the workshop manual.
Covers all the basic shit like chain tensions,lube points blah blah you know the drill.

Ok I found my cd-rom,if anyone would like a copy give me a pm and some rep points and I will send.
please let me know if you want a printed copy [I have access to a colour copier] or on cd-rom.
