Why does my Bandit 1200 keep bogging down?
The next day, it starts running a bit boggy and crap, I put this down to being low on fuel (it had gotten to about 2 bars of fuel left at the point), so I topped it up and threw a bottle of redex in there for good measure. Hey presto this cured the problem and away we go. For the next few days, not a problem.
What kind of engine does Suzuki Bandit 1250 have?
The big-bore Suzuki Bandit 1250 replaces the Bandit 1200, and gets an all-new engine designed to meet latest Euro legislation. In doing so, Suzuki have created a 98cc bigger, 1255cc water-cooled, fuel-injected, tourque-laden peach of an engine.
Where is the fuel line on a Bandit 1200?
If it is a vacuum tap there should be a line from the tap to the engine/carb somewhere (obviously it isn’t the fuel line.) It’ll be the thin one if you are in doubt. Make sure it is attached at both ends and seals well. You may want to take it off completely and blow down it to check it.
Why does my Bandit 1200 stall at red lights?
When you have to stop at roundabouts/red lights etc it idles at about 1200RPM… which over about 5-10 seconds slowly drops to 1000… 800… 600… stall. So I have to sit at the lights blipping the throttle like a chavvy little scrote on a ped to stop it from stalling.
Are there any issues with the Suzuki Bandit 1200?
One issue that is starting to plague Bandit 1200 models is the carbs gumming-up if left standing due to modern fuel and if the bike doesn’t tick over smoothy or is a pig to start, assume there a blockage in there that needs cleaning out.

How to tell if bike is running lean or rich Bandit 1200?
Unfortunately a plug chop is only of minimal help. A dyno run with a gas sensor up the exhaust will greatly help to let you know where in the rev range it is running rich and / or lean. This post is not being displayed . Bandit 12s aren’t renowned for their fuel economy, so I think you’re worrying excessively about that.
