  • Removing the fuel tank from the Suzuki Bandit is necessary for service and repair, but is also quite a simple and quick process.

      Thanks. Normally for the air filter you can just lift and prop the back of the tank up without needing to disconnect anything. Filter cover normally takes a bit of wiggling to prise it out of it's home. Good luck. Skäl David

    I got no vent hoses and a vacuum pipe. My 2006 GSF650 sometimes randomly dies. It takes around 5 min to crank and get is started again. So i suppose the tank isn't able to breath to get the fuel in the carbs. Thank you for the helpful video!

    • @MotoMirius
      @MotoMirius  2 роки тому

      Vent hoses aren’t necessary but you do need to make sure that the vent pipes in the tank are clear. There will be a fuel drain which is less important and then a vent to allow air into the tank as the fuel level drops. Sometimes this is incorporated into the filler cap. If you ride then take off the filler cap and you hear a hiss of air then you know you need to clear the vent - it will cause the bike to die randomly. Vacuum line to the tank is only if you don’t have a fuel tap.

    Hey thanks for this. Do I need to ensure the tank is empty? If I don't will fuel pour out when I remove the fuel filter hose? Thanks

    • @MotoMirius
      @MotoMirius  2 роки тому +1

      Tanks are designed to be removed without draining - it would be very expensive for bike servicing at workshops otherwise. You will get some leakage of the fuel that is in the tubing but that should be all.

  • @KarlPrukk
    @KarlPrukk 3 роки тому

    Hey, nice video. Could you tell me how large is the tank? on my bike, when it says two lines fuel left out of five (180km city driving from full tank), carburettors wont get any fuel anymore and bike will stop. When i go to refuel i can add only 12litres.

    • @MotoMirius
      @MotoMirius  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks. It may vary by model but I think it will normally be around 20 litres. Since your fuel gauge is showing part full, that would support it and suggests that you have a fuel pickup problem.

    Thank you so much for this! I completely removed it by myself and sent it for fixing some craters! But one quick question: the first two hoses that are indifferent, one of them wasnt attached anywhere, is that the correct way? Or did it disconnect from somewhere when i sided the tank?

      Thanks. Fuel taps are normally only removed if they are leaking or you want to do a full respray. Not really much to change or upgrade on this, it's just a tank and the stock components are well suited for a stock bike. Good luck!

      Tough issue. My starting point would be the wiring running up past the headstock to the clocks/ ignition switch as that is the most likely place for a broken or damaged wire, but check the wiring elsewhere to see if there have been any pinches or damage to the loom. Good luck!

      @@adammountjoy3336 You'd have to hunt around. Typically you have to build that relationship before your need help. But electrics are quite simple even if frustrating. It sounds like you might have a problem with the switch or its wiring. Just be patient and take one wire at a time. It's very common for wires to get damaged around the steering area becuase of the movement. It's worse if some has done a poor repair especially if they have used solder.
