Great vid. The only other thing which is indispensible when cleaning carbs is compressed air. If you don't have a compessor - you can get by with a keyboard cleaner aerosol. Blast that slow circuit ! Blast the entire thing in fact..... But you knew that ;-)
Exactly, dabbing at the interior walls of a carburetor with a paint brush wet with gasoline or "petrol" really does NOTHING to resolve the problems associated with a dirty carb, because the clogging action happens in the jets and small passageways not the wide open spaces. you need carb cleaner, under pressure sprayed out of the little tube to desolve the sludge. Remember, the sludge formed and grew IN THE "petrol". Wiping it with petrol is not going to suddenly have the opposite effect and make it desolve. Then, after you have blasted it with carb cleaner you need compressed air to blow out and clear those tiny orifices and the crap that the cleaner loosened up and desolved. A paint brush with gas is a waste of time and gas. Instructing unknowing bikers who actually have dirty carbs and bikes that run like shit, that taking apart the carbs and "painting" them with gas will fix it, is harmful and you should stop attempting to impart that which you do not have, useful knowledge, and remove your uninformed stupidity. What a waste, to actually have the carbs off and apart and still not get the problem fixed because you thought you knew what you were doing and instructed others in something you clearly shouldn't be instructing anyone. What gave you the notion to think that you were so proficient and experienced at this that others might benefit from you sharing that vast treasure in your head? Maybe because you turned a few screws and took it apart and got it back together and it still ran? Next time you count something as a victory try it with something that's not running and actually has problems and you fixed those problems. Oh, and an easier way to document where everything went and how to reassemble it other than labeling every single thing (mislabeling can happen then your screwed) is simply taking pics or vid of it all before taking it apart. Maybe that's why Brits and their whole "we're so important" misconception led them to being increasingly irrelevant and crumbling in their ancient dwellings and crappy little cars. Back when you THOUGHT you were really running this planet you weren't firmly in control of anything, not like we are today. And you thought you could hold us back? AND tax us? How'd that work out for ya Tough Guy?
@@haxto1 That was a true dickhead type of comment. You started off by using a bit of constructive criticism which was perfectly ok although it could have been delivered less like a telling off, then it escalated to more and more insults and even brought world politics into it...WTF? I bet you have a business that re-aligns and sets up Carburettors....you must think these videos will take precious pennies away from your pocket....what a prick! By the way, world powers change all the time, we 'Brits' were the dominant force 3 hundred years ago right up to the mid 20th century....can't say that about America can you? I'm assuming you're American, with an attitude like that, you really couldn't be any other nationality.
cheers mate unfortunately no i dont i only have acsess to a old mk1 600 however its bassicly the same procedure on the 650 as it is the 600 there bassicly the same carbs
Yes I did. My top tips would be to get a roll of masking tape and label every cable and hose clearly for when re inserting the carb rack and also when re connecting the throttle cables, push the rack half way through the bike from the left side and and connect then. You'll have much better accessibility than you would when they're fully into they're associated inlet ports. This is a great link if you have a bandit 650 www.crservice.dk/Suzuki_mc/GSF650/GSF650_A_S_SA_GSX650F_01E.pdf
Are you cleaning just one of the carbs for video purposes or is that carb having issues? I'm about to pull out the carbs on my 1200 tomorrow, but i think only 2 of them are having trouble
Real world bike maintanace might have to do mine soon as its gets a fluffy when coming off motorways back into a 30mph zone think might need a clean up to vid mate
good camera this one tbh full HD 60fps remote mic and everything payed over 300 quid for it I have got a tripod to put it on but just makes life easier like this means I can move round garage without moving the cam
Only real way to do it is to remove the tank been a while since I did a bandit now but from memory theres pipes an clamps that need to be accessed from the top side 👍
Top vid mate thank you, will be doing my carbs this week so this came in very handy.
+TheSwampdonkey123 cheres mate its no worries allways glad to help if you get stuck let me know
Great vid. The only other thing which is indispensible when cleaning carbs is compressed air. If you don't have a compessor - you can get by with a keyboard cleaner aerosol. Blast that slow circuit ! Blast the entire thing in fact..... But you knew that ;-)
I do normally use my compressor when doing carbs but atm it's not at my garage it's down my storage unit
See. I knew you knew ;-)

Just watched your video great information and now I’m off to do mine I know it needs it thanks
This is probably the best carb rebuild video I've seen. really easy to follow. cheers for that
fantastic tutorial thanks mate!
Great video on how to do it with 'real world' tools Thank you. Need to do mine. Do you have a vid on Carb removal from a Bandit 650?
cheers mate unfortunately no i dont i only have acsess to a old mk1 600 however its bassicly the same procedure on the 650 as it is the 600 there bassicly the same carbs
Did you ever get the carbs off your 650 mate? Want to do mine but its so cramped!!

i can place
in pistonete do carburator da bandit 600?
No one commenting on the fact this was Darth Vader himself??
Brilliant best comment yet lol 😂😂😂
Do you know what the carb settings is I have the same bike 600 bandit cheers mate
Normally 3 turns out on the mix screw is a good place to start
3 turns out is too much. Factory spec is 1 and 7/8th and we know that's lean so call it 2.
Which head lamp is that?
If ya still wondering they are dominators , looks good but unless you have a high output bulb quite dim
You didn't bother checking the float height??
What only 15 fucking likes bro ive saved this video so i can re watch it and this has tough me sooo much already. Staight up thank you!
Excellent training video, thank you!
Never thought would try something like this. Now thanks to you, I will. :-)
What rebuild kit should i buy?
Real world bike maintanace might have to do mine soon as its gets a fluffy when coming off motorways back into a 30mph zone think might need a clean up to vid mate
Sounds a bit like a balancing issue when was last time u vacume balanced the carbs might need doing
u need a camera man
good camera this one tbh full HD 60fps remote mic and everything payed over 300 quid for it I have got a tripod to put it on but just makes life easier like this means I can move round garage without moving the cam
Hey great vid mate, just one question... Didi you remove the carbs without taking off the fuel tank? if so, how? thanks in advance
Only real way to do it is to remove the tank been a while since I did a bandit now but from memory theres pipes an clamps that need to be accessed from the top side 👍
@@MotoMotion183 Yup, checks out. I'm just struggling with clamping the carbs back on the bike lol. Thanks again! Ride safe.
