To fit the input shaft bearing put the input shaft in a bag and bung it in the freezer. Gently warm the bearing in a bath of oil slowly on the stove in an old pan keeping a close eye that it dosnt get too hot and start smoking!! Remove the shaft from the freezer and the warm bearing will just drop over the shaft with no stress to the bearing.
Great job. It's good to see someone who knows what they're talking about for a change. I've seen some youtube channels with many thousands of subscribers, giving out some bad, wrong and in some cases dangerous advice. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Joe, I'm not trying to be a step by step guide but hope people can take something away from the videos that will help them working on their own bike. Shroomy
Thanks Random Rides, I'd hate to know what it would cost to do this job if you went to a main dealer, if you could get any work done to your bandit what would it be?
Classic motorbikes I'd like someone trustworthy to listen to, ride it and assess what it needs to be healthy tbh. To me it sounds cammy, at low speeds I hear noises..gearbox I think and recently I feel it's not handling right. Makes you lose confidence especially in corners. The work and attention to detail you've put in is amazing, I doubt you could get that even at a main dealers and as for cost I'm sure that it's run well into the thousands now. Hopefully though you and that bike have built a bond which is priceless, you've got a bike you can trust and as we've said before hopefully keep forever! I'm only sorry I don't have the knowledge to do the same..or a 2nd bike. (To ride while ones repaired) I love watching these video's as I learn so much. Once again a big thank you.
Another great video and I must admit that I thought was going to be much much more in changing them parts but not as bad as I thought the most of it is just getting the bloody thing out the frame haha Keep up the good work can't wait to see it finished now
Hi Bro! I don't know how i missed this channel but not to worry as i have discovered you now & i am enjoying your videos especially the Turbo Bike but with regards to the Bandit with the G/Box problems at such low mileage it worries me somewhat as i have the Brother to that Bike in the shape of a GSX 1400. As you know many parts cross over to a Bandit but i hope mine doesn't inherit the same G/Box problems as i don't fancy having to pull my engine apart to rebuild it also the costs are astronomical. It must be a faulty batch of gears don't you think for them to wear like that? Maybe if they was swimming in hypoid oil things would be different but OBVIOUSLY that is not an option. I'm impressed with your Tig Welding BTW. You have taken to it like a Duck to Water. You can only get better. Give yourself a Pat on the Back Bro!
This has been really useful for me; well done to you! My Bandit whines (a bit) in second gear; does that mean I'll probably be looking to replace two cogs as you did? In the other gears it's fairly quiet.
sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Taylor Camdyn I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Mate I was just about to launch by gear box at the wall this saved my life

What you've done and are doing with this Bandit is brilliant, now joking apart when can I bring mine 😁

Very interesting videos thanks, I owned a bandit 12 for five years they're great bikes
Thanks Stephen, glad you are enjoying the videos and I have to agree with you 👍
Another great video and I must admit that I thought was going to be much much more in changing them parts but not as bad as I thought the most of it is just getting the bloody thing out the frame haha
Keep up the good work can't wait to see it finished now
Cheers Mikey, it's not too bad to do, just need to take your time and read the manual! Can't wait to get it finished myself be good to ride it again!
Thanks for the videos, Love to have this reference in order to get my bike right :)
Glad you are enjoying the videos and finding them useful. Ian

Hi John, thank you for the kind words. I hate to say if the bike is whining in 2nd gear it is most likely the same problem I have had.

Was the whine you got under load only ?
