I'm looking for Mt. Maunganui Bandit inspection

[mynemesis]

Stock fork on them is not well set up. Few shims moved about and some springs will be a revelation.

yeah thats what I read recently too.

Still wondering if it's better to get the almost new, fully stock bike and ride it with the stock suspension, heavy pipe and squishy brakes for a year. OR get the cheaper 50,000km example that I can chuck most things on to straight away?

Fuck it, I'll buy the cheap hayabusa in Palmerston North

It's not far from Aucky - you have transport? Go have a perve yourself.

Shut up you.......with your simple logic and shit!!!

Poor cunt would have to go south of Wiri, you know they don't like doing that, there's dragons & trolls & other scary stuff down past there.

admittedly I do have a fear of going south of the bombays. But thats only because of all the orks between here and Wellington.

Didn't realise this country had flyover states too when I moved here

Maybe the Government should charge a tax (toll) for all Aucklanders leaving Auckland.

[mynemesis]

there is a toll. A massive one.......we're not in Auckland anymore!

Quick - change your KB location. Suddenly heaps of KB readers will want to help you. Bawahahhhhh

PS - get a Hornet, the Bandit is it's fat sister ......

I've found quite the opposite. Eveyone in Auckland wants to be seen driving later stuff than further south & it loses its value accordingly.
Stuff can be hauled further south & a buck can be made.

Come on guys.....!? I'm just kidding, I love outer New Zealand. I go to my batch in the Coromandel every summer for gods sake!



I can't help it, sorry. It's like a form of pomme / jaffa tosser tourettes

How much cheaper is the 50,000 km one? You'll end up throwing some thousands on it if you are suspending with something decent (no point if it is not).

If looking for a slip on can - google Fuel exhausts - English made and (exchange rate dependent) well priced.

Meh - did it for you. http://www.fuelexhausts.com/exhausts...gsx1250fa-2010

Thanks AllanB. I'll check those out next week.........After I pick up my mint condition K5 Bandit with just 3100 km on the clocks


Figure this is my first "BIG" bike so nothing wrong with getting used to it first before starting the upgrade procedure. Although that standard, ugly, heavy and ridiculously quiet exhaust has to go It's flipping enormous!

You will need to rejet. Easy to do and will find power.

I have a Dan Moto. Very cheap, surprisingly decent quality, very loud.

Thanks. Yeah I think I was looking at these too the other day.

Who do I see (and what sort of money will it cost) to have the carbs re-tuned properly once it has a new exhaust?

I read about some people having theirs dyno tuned, but suspect that is a little pricey!?
