I'm a new guy on the Forum.
I have owned the Bandit 1250 since last summer June really enjoyed the bike outside of a few issues.
The suspension being one of them.
I decided to do the gold valves and did not follow the directions put my Forks all back together then called the racetech people and ask them if I had to drill the bleed hole. Well of course they said yes they won't work properly if you don't drill the bleed. Well spent another few hours taking the forks back apart pulling the valving out and drilling 2 micro holes.
Of course with the fresh Loctite on the valve to Fork Bolt I ended up having to use a small torch tip on my acetylene torch and heat the bolt a little bit to break the lock tight.
I just wanted to share that story in case someone else is like me and doesn't always follow instructions.
MUCH EASIER TO THOROUGHLY READ EVERYTHING FIRST.....
Great forum lots of good info.
