hi guys!

i've had a 400 bandit for 4 years now and have recently purchased a 600. bounce

i race the 400 in the straightliners drag racing series but once the 600 is up and running will swap to the bigger bike.

i've been off road due to a top speed racing accident but should be raring to go pretty soon.

denise. Very Happy

Re: hi! · **Tim1200** on Fri Jun 19, 2009 10:38 pm

looks good but is the frame pinkish or is it the flash on the camera

Re: hi! · trinity on Sat Jun 20, 2009 8:02 am

it's very pink! Cool

Re: hi! · **Tim1200** on Sat Jun 20, 2009 12:55 pm

It may be pink but she does look nice you just need to get the cam cover off and paint that pink as well.

Re: hi! · trinity on Mon Jun 29, 2009 6:34 pm

my 600 is very nearly ready! bounce

just need to change the front tyre, the rear lowering links need to go in and then it will be ready to ride. i'm hoping to take it to east kirkby on sunday for round five of straightliners. Cool

Re: hi! · **OneeyedBandit** on Mon Jun 29, 2009 7:48 pm

Make sure you pay a visit to the Museum at East Kirkby.

EK and Elvington Museums are excellent

Re: hi! · trinity on Tue Jun 30, 2009 7:20 pm

we don't have the time to visit the museums. Crying or Very sad

the elvington one looks very interesting from the outside though. Very Happy

Re: hi! · trinity on Tue Jun 30, 2009 7:23 pm

we have discovered a fractured clutch plate. Crying or Very sad

a small piece managed to fall into the sump on removal. my husband managed to retrieve it with much elbow grease and swearing! don't think a new clutch pack will arrive in time to test it on sunday. Crying or Very sad

Re: hi! · **Tim1200** on Tue Jun 30, 2009 8:06 pm

Are you going to use OEM plates.

Re: hi! · trinity on Tue Jun 30, 2009 8:58 pm

possibly, with 2 heavy duty, 2 normal springs.

any advice? Question

Re: hi! · trinity on Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:27 pm

my 600 is now sorted for racing on sunday! bounce

Re: hi! · Eastcoast cruiser on Fri Jul 03, 2009 7:49 pm

I saw you racing at Elvington the other Sunday. Our local (Driffield) bike club www.osbmcc.co.uk had a ride out to the Vintage wings and wheels day at the museum and called in to watch the racing!

I saw you as your frame stood out! Did you have a bit of a mishap on one of the runs or was that another female? I saw someone going for it then suddenly something went bang and lost power!

it was a good day, but I am still sunburnt from it! The Spitfire fly by was the best! It went right over our heads as we were stood in the car park near the track!

Re: hi! · trinity on Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:42 pm

it was a smashing day. i saw the spitfire too. Cool

that was me i think, i aborted a run after being a bit too throttle happy and none too smooth with the clutch hand, always best to back off and start again. don't remember a bang though. it's running a bit rich so it could have back fired?

you'll have to come over and say hi next time. you can't really miss me in my leathers. my husband rides the zx12 with the flame and skull paintjob. Cool

Re: hi! · Eastcoast cruiser on Fri Jul 03, 2009 10:15 pm

Yeah!

Not sure if it was you or not. It was a female rider in the left lane. Just watched her get away then all of a sudden she seemed to lose her footing on the pegs, shut off and coasted down the track. Maybe I'm just associating your bike with it as i saw it there.

It was a good day. Lots of 'Busas running!

Re: hi! · trinity on Sat Jul 25, 2009 5:40 pm

my 600 is now ready for the road! bounce

i'm going to go out for a little ride out tomorrow. i can't wait. Cool

Re: hi! · trinity on Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:03 pm

so i finished the rest of the season on the 600 and came 3rd overall in the sub750 streetbike class. i need some more power to go faster so have bought a 750 lump to shoe horn in. i can't wait for it to be up and running. the project log is on oldskool suzuki if anyone is interested. i can post it on here if there's any interest?

Re: hi! · **Tim1200** on Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:29 pm

Definatley i have no problems with you posting it here should make a good read what 750 motor are you going to use ? i used a L model engine which was very quick

Re: hi! · **number6** on Mon Nov 09, 2009 8:45 pm

Should be a good read, will look forward to it.Oh, and didn't you ride a Ducati in the Matrix? lol.

HI · Jin on Tue Nov 10, 2009 7:36 am

HI Trinity, good to have you here. I've also got a 400 Bandit. After a 30 year break from Biking i'm now struggling to pass my test

!! Road Riding is great, i love it

, but struggling with the Cone stuff since coming off doing it

!! Got a bit of a problem with the Bike at the moment

. It's not starting well, sometimes not at all

!! Treated it to a new Battery and a Regulator Rectifier and got new spark plugs coming for it, so hopefully things will get better now!! Had my Mod 1 test booked for last Friday and it wouldn't start, couldn't even Bump start it, so had to abandon the idea. My instructor said i could take it on his K*****i, but it was a non-starter (another one-lol!!) as i couldn't touch the ground on it!! Need to get out there and terrorise a few more Cones as my test is rebooked for VERY SOON

!! Jin xx

Re: hi! · **Tim1200** on Tue Nov 10, 2009 3:59 pm

I'd say if your having a problem starting this time of year it might be damp on the electrics.

Re: hi! · Jin on Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:24 pm

CHEERS TIM, HOPING 'IM INDOORS WITH THE BEEMER IS GOING TO HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT IT BEFORE MY NEXT TEST DATE. ANNOYINGLY THE DAY OF MY TEST HE CAME HOME FROM WORK AND STARTED IT FIRST TIME

!! I'VE TRIED TO START IT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY HE DOES, BUT HE SAYS I NEED LESSONS

!!
