bultaco bandido

[hampster]

Hi,

Have just picked up a bultaco bandido motor in a hagon slider.

I know nothing about bullys and would like some advise on the bandido motor have not been able to find much information on them.

Thanks Chris.

Kevin Fraser had one of these in Wollongong in the early seventies. Evil, wicked, mean and nasty. Motors are fairly bulletproof and easy to work on. Information and spares may be a little difficult as they aren't as common as the Pursangs, Astros etc.

Hi Chris,
They are pretty bulletproof engines if set up correctly. They differ from all other Bultaco engines (except the Montadero) in that they have a primary gear set, rather than a primary chain. They also have a right side kickstart.
Check out the links below, parts are easy to get, except for maybe the kickstart and primary gears.
Cheers,
Mark
