New rider with 600 Bandit

I thought the rule with CATs was not to bump start the engine? Isn't it
unburnt fuel entering the exhaust that knackers it?

 

Do I *look* as if I own a fuel-injected bike?[/QUOTE]

Good point.

 

That's not a bad idea, my Bandit has a 20l tank[1] but hits reserve
after just 15l. Having 25% of the total capacity as reserve always
seemed wasteful.

[1] Allegedly, I've never run it that far to find out though.

 

Do take care 007. Them bandits like a lie down occasionally.

Cheers,

Paul. (ex. GSF600S - Modified)

 

What it can do (with some of the 'pump in tank' types - the Jaguar XJ40
is an example) is bugger up the high pressure fuel pump - eventually.
The petrol is the only lube the pump gets and it's not a good design.
