erk! Paging Pip etc....

Well I went and got a chain/sprockets today.
Wheeled the bike out of the garage to attempt fitting an noticed
something wasn't quite right.

So er, yes IRATC for not having actually looked a bit closer a bit
sooner, and yes, the case is fubared. But what's that spiggoty looking
thing that's fucked? Is it important?

<sigh>

 

That'll be your gearshift shaft then.

Borked, it is.

Yikes, nasty.

That little spigotty thing is the clutch actuator I think.

Best of luck.

Bent it? it's in 2 pieces by the look of it.

That sounds helpful

Presumeably me fitting the chain and riding up to your general area
isn't going to happen? Or if it is, it's going to happen in one gear only?

 

Clutch pushrod and seal on the parts list then ....

The workshop's always available to you. But the rod's snapped. If you'd
spent less time as a child wanking you'd be able to see that.

I might have some silver steel lying around, but I'm not about much at
the moment to work on it.

Can you measure the diameter of the rod DnC?

It is fucked, innit. Snapped.

It would take a lot of effort and a good helping of a luck to make
that functional. All the leverage of the clutch actuation bears on
that casing so it needs to be strong all the way round and across it.
I'd give it a go, but with no guarantee of success.

I'm afraid that a new/used replacement for both the cover and the rod
would be the best way out of this. Surely a Suzuki parts place would
be able to get a rod pretty swiftly and not charge the earth for it.
IWT covers would be plentiful in breakers as that isn't one that
breaks on droppage.

 

It looks well fucked and there may be more damage to find when the cover
comes off. I'm thinking one or two of the bolt holes/posts may be snapped
off...

 

You're a right little ray of sunshine, eh? You could be right, mind -
no doubt a further report will follow tomorrow.

 

That's me

I wonder what happened to it.

 

Keep up at the back, man.

Chain snapped - this is the damage caused by the flailing end.

 

Yebbut, I haven't got enough beer for that.

Oh, I see. I have faint memories of such a post.

 

Bit dry looking in there. No wonder the chain snapped.

 

Swot I fort.

Doh!

By the looks of things, you've snapped the clutch pushrod. Also, the
allen bolts that secure the sprocket cover onto the engine casing may
have dammaged the holes they go into (cracked the engine casing, worst
case). The sprocket casing is knackered, that's a no brainer.

I'd check the gear shaft for straightness also, and replace the clutch
pushrod oil seal too.

Have a careful look at the clutch slave cylinder, you may be able to use
that again.

You may be able to fit an older GSXR1100 sprocket cover (non water
cooled version) if you can't find a Bandit 1200 one, but the clutch
pushrod may have to be a Bandit 1200 one, due to the difference in
clutches between the Bandits and GSXRs.

 

Scott oilers are your friend.

 

Regular lubrication of any sort IYF.

 

I was thinking of it being good for bikes without a center stand.

 

A breakers would be my first port of call, if only to find out prices,
before trying to repair.

As has been said these parts are not your average "first bits to go in a
minor prang" so should be fairly plentiful and cheap(ish).

Again, as has been said, give serious consideration to your chain lube
regime. Scotoilers give reasonable VFM in this department.

<aside>
Should knowing when and how to lube a final drive chain be part of the
bike test?

 

No.
