YEAR 2000 Bandit S Model....  
   
  .....Beautiful!!!  
     
     
  NEW FEATURES  
     
 
  • Updated mid-size design featuring a sleek new fairing, plus numerous functional improvements.
  • Wider and taller windscreen provides increased wind protection and reduced turbulence through a windscreen vent system.
  • New fairing includes bright, dual projector-type headlamps, new mirrors and new instruments with step-motor construction for more precise operation (like Hayabusa), plus LCD odometer and tripmeter.
  • New Keihin CVR31 carburetors are equipped with a throttle position sensor for more precise ignition timing control, and a new throttle slide design. The TPS and new throttle slide shape combine to improve fuel mileage and increase low rpm power feel and response.
  • Increased charging system output - from 25 to 40 amp max. output.
  • Improved chassis performance with reduced rake and trail and increased wheelbase.
  • Wider diameter wheels and new radial tires for precise handling and comfortable ride.
  • Larger diameter front brake caliper piston for improved stopping power.
  • Reduced seat height, (20mm lower), for increased rider comfort.
  • Larger capacity fuel tank, (1 liter), for increased range.
  • Easier-to-operate centerstand with an improved leverage ratio to reduce effort.
  • One-piece passenger grab bar is larger and easier to reach.
  • Larger storage area beneath the seat - large enough for a U-lock.
  • Bolt-on passenger footpegs - can be easily replaced if damaged.
