Bandit 1200K6 Oil-cooled maintenance, carburettor maintenance + OH, front maintenance (stem OH & fork oil change)

The parallel four-cylinder’s most difficult vacuum carburettor, officially certified!

Before we forget—let’s get it done quick!

We’ll also replace the starter valve.

Since we’ll reuse the float valve, it’s a good idea to clean it with a cotton swab (pointed end).

At this level it’s still good to go. We’ve decided to keep using it.

Hands-off kneading wash gets it pretty supple. It’s quite nice stuff.

Next we check the float level against the actual fuel surface, and the carburettor is assembled and done.

We’re scheduled to fire up the engine tomorrow. More to come.
