G'day from Newcastle.

Gday Guys, just got our son an older gsf250 Bandit. Looks like a good little bike, any thoughts or hints,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Welcome to the forum Glenn, the 250 bandit is a very cool bike, and should be easy to ride and maintain

 

Thanks mate, having some trouble with it. But in time it should be awesome little bike.

 

Ah I see, what kind of troubles?

 

Bike starts, isles at 4000rpm. Has an inline fuel filter that just won't fill with fuel. Have stripped carbies, stripped the fuel tap, cleaned a heap of gunk out. But still won't idle down. Could it be the fuel pump side of the fuel tap?

 

Does the idle adjuster make a difference when turned?

 

Welcome mate have u tried remove filter and seeing if it is the problem

 

plastic filters in low pressure systems always have air pockets... :/ if its running at 4000 rpm... the filter aint the problem...

 

Welcome to the forums!

The Bandit does seem to be a very popular model.

Pretty sure you'll get the advice you need here, there's a wealth of knowledgeable members.

 

Hey Glen, is there any freeplay in the throttle cable, you might have to adjusted up to high hence why its revving up to 4000 RPM
