It’s surprising how the same maintenance work keeps coming up…
Stock carburettor maintenance…… ¥32,300 If the engine is hard to start, idling is erratic, or the exhaust smells like gasoline, we check the carburettor.
Here we have a Bandit 1200 K6.
It’s not running badly, but it’s not quite right—only cylinder #4’s spark plug is fouled.
I think we saw similar symptoms on a K6 before…
Could that be the issue here?
Symptoms and causes aren’t always the same, so we need to be careful.
Removing it now.
Well, it’s not too bad.
Washing the carburettor really does take forever…
Is the carburettor heater an option?
Checking all the parts and replacing the O-rings.
This type is reliable even on float level! Inspecting and adjusting.
Huh? We adjusted this during the oil-cooled maintenance not long ago, but it’s drifted this much…
After a slightly longer test ride, if everything checks out we can hand it over. ★
