Bandit air filter
|
Is it a difficult job to change the air filter on a (K3) Bandit 12?
Only I did the Hein Gericke £25 deal last weekend, and it would be a
shame not to.
|
I can't see how it could be a difficult job, myself. I could be wrong
mind, not having (a) the bike and model in question, and (b) the HBOL
to refer to.
|
It's a Suzuki. How difficult can it be?
(I'm being ironic.)
|
Well, it wasn't difficult on my GSXR-750L, but you know how the Japs
like to make things awkward.. ;o)
|
It was an 1100L I was thinking of, and the 750 is virtually identical.
Getting the seat off is easy, as is the rear bodywork.
Removing the battery is a doddle.
The battery carrier is topologically impossible to remove unless you keep your
bike in a non-Euclidian space.
The filter is not so bad if you have the right length screwdriver and small hands
but still a struggle to get it past the wiring loom.
During manufacture the carbs and airbox are fitted to the engine
then the whole lot is put into the frame. I doubt that maintenance was
ever considered.

Easier than on a Trophy 1200. On that bike, the carbs have to come off.
