Bandit 1200 cold starting?

[rottiguy]

I think it is only the post 2006 models that are injected, I know someone with a 2006 and that is not injected

I thought the new shape ones were injected?

If it's carburetted then it'll likely be an easy/cheap fix.

The service question is a goody, if it's been done regularly then the simple things should be ruled out already, filters and the like I mean.

The only thing springing to mind that could be faulty is the throttle postition sensor, common on cars to cause rough running at cold idle.

Hope ya sort it dude.

Silkolene Pro FST is designed to stop carb icing.Cap full or 2 in your gas tank sorts it.

hey all

Just a question to anyone thats in the know ?

My bandit 1200 , when its cold , like not started for 2 weeks .
Gets very rough running for a while , so i dont know why . seems to sound like not enough fuel or fuel freezing , or maybe a sticky vaccumm fuel tap.
sounded like it was running on 3 cylinders and wouldnt idle with not throttle .

Im not sure

Did this a fortnight ago , but was out side in like -7 over night .
took about 10 mins of idle at 3 k and then had to ride it at 4 k for about 6 km up the road . all up about 30 mins till it cleared its self.

After it does this its good as gold and runs absloutly sweet .
only seems to be doing it in the months now its colder .

Any thoughts , or are they like this in the cold .
I had put about 200 mills of meths in the tank now just incase of moisture from the night outside , maybe it will help .

thanks in advance

Have a mate that has one of these and his does the same thing but he doesnt use it much lucky if he takes it round the block every couple of weeks , maybe it just needs a blowout

4got to mention carbs are probably getting clogged up with shit and that only comes from the tank , use a carb addictive in mine - it makes a difference
