1993 Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit Questions & Answers
Suzuki bandit 400vc hard starting been to mechanic
You only have 2 ways to go......1. fuel .....2. spark, if your cranking your bike, first off try this. crank it with no choke . if nothing happens , take your choke pull it all the way out, now crank it.
if it fires, push choke half way in, continue to crank, it should start . If nothing happens a all .
You have to pull out spark plugs, look at them closely . Is it soaked with gas ? or is it dry as a bone ? if it is soaked with gas, clean it up and dry it off, now check your gap it should be alright
but just check it anyways if the gap is to much it will not fire inside the cyclinder, if it is closed
to much it will not fire . take your plug put it back in just the plug wire and rest it up against the
head or any metal surface, now crank your bike if it has a good blue spark your good with the
electrial check both plugs same way . Now if that is ok , then you have to move on to the fuel.
if you have new clean fuel, good , if it is old like lat years get rid of it . drain everything tank and
all of your fuel filters replace, make sure all of your lines are flowing and carb will clean them self.
give it a little bit after it starts running be gentle with let everything catch up. If it needs final
adjustment on carbs take it back to who ever rebuilt them . Good Luck
I own a 93 Suzuki
Carb would be the place to start assuming it was running fine before it was stored. Gas can "varnish" in carbs while in storage for long periods of time if a fuel stabilizer wasn't added before storing. Might try some fuel system cleaner before going to the trouble of removing the carb.
How to remove timing chain suzuki gsf 400 bandit
unless you have the correct tools this is something you probably wouldn't want to get involved in as you would need a camchain splitter/riveter if you drop the old pin down the can tunnel your in a world of hurt and the only way to remove the old chain in one piece is via a complete engine rebuild also while the cams are coming out you'd want to do the valve clearances at the same time, on some models it's tappet adjustment and some it's shims which requires you having a selection of different sized shims.
My advice is give it to someone who already has the equipment and pay them it'll cost you a lot less in the end.

Battery overcharging
I would disconnect the regulator so it does not charge the battery. Now... monitor the battery voltage... try starter, horn, lights, flashers... battery going down ? No fire/smoke/smells ?
Re-connect regulator and check again.
Regulator should charge battery @ 15volts MAX !!
