@Fredrik_Steenhas done tons of work helping me out with tuning and enginework. Big thanks! We ended with 203hp 182nm 0.7bar All stock, pumpgas, no intercooler. 38mm wastegate (copy) gt2860 (copy) 38mm blowoff (Turbosmart) Plenum/manifold built by myself https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=-2V3xjNawP53PYtz&v=r9G7isuNEzY&feature=youtu.be

ie an 1100w motor in the shed somewhere.

Is it a standard one, first you need to check which model it is, the very first 95/96 1200's were different to the ones released as the Mk1 in 1996, they have 1156 stamped on the barrels and a gsxr type swinging arm as well as different CDI;s, what is the number on the CDI?? post a picture of the left side of the barells and swinging arm,,

The plugs on MK2 ECU are also different to a MK1 ECU

If it has a 6 wire ignition switch it has a resistor

Good find, right there... that'll do it!

Dunno about the MK2. Maybe someone who knows for sure will clarify soon.

Do all B12 have that ? I have a 2004 B12

Welcome. Slingshot cdi uses different wiring plugs to the MK1 Blandit so these would have to be changed. You'd also probably have to remove the small anti-hotwire resistor in the B12 ignition switch too. Can you borrow a good B12 to confirm it's a cdi fault? Othewise replacing it is going to be a waste of money and effort.

Good day I have a GSF 1200 Bandit 1996, Firing on cylinder 1/4 only. I swopped the feeds from the CDI unit aroud then 2/3 fires only. I suspect the CDI unit. I've been told I could use a slingshot CDI , Please advise how I do this.

Why support a con artist? The frame is probably the result of someone else being ripped off.

Every now and then he advertises a complete frame for sale. Walk in, pay the man and walk out with your new bling is the way to go.

It's not just motorcycle parts A lot of fast Ford & Cossie Owners were victims as well

So about nr.3 on my list: I removed clutch cover and plates today and when I removed the last second to last plate I saw a section of the piano wire tangled on the friction plate where it has gnawed of part of the friction material. I don't know if this is part of the problem or whatever but i know that when I assembled the clutch unit I used a new piece of wire and it was in the groove and both loops was down in the hole where they are supposed to be. So I don't know why or how it has come untangled.... 6 day wait for a new piece of wire. Measured all the friction plates, all where above minimum 2.6 except for the one that had been gnawed on which was about 2.5-2.6. So I ordered a new one. Clutch springs where also above minimum.

Update. 172hp 0.4bar fine tuning with fuel and pitot then more boost

There's 2 of them from what I understand dad and son both have the same name and work together. I would love one of there frames but and it's a big But hear so many bad things it probably ain't a good idea to get tangled up with them.

I know 750W heads fit, and I think 1100W heads fit, since the down draft head on an RF900 won't fit a W frame. Not much out there for 900s, but you can still get big bore 750W and 1100W pistons. I can't remember if the 900 was a big bore 750 or a sleeved down 1100, so no idea on rod length or stroke.

That was my understanding as well, and it would be easy enough to weld, but my friend that's interested in the bike only wants it as a commuter so I doubt he'd really notice it that much as is.

I though that the 94-95 bikes (which this engine is off) had a slightly lighter frame, part of the weight loss programt that they undertook following the slate of critics they got for the first W bikes ? If thats the case this engine can fit in any W frame but probably best to weld that up and re tap if it's going back in a mk2 W frame ?

my guess is a sleaved down DR125.

I’d imagine it’s very similar to the DR100, which was produced for several years

I asume by accident. The head is gasflowed, it has a better throttle response, bit more agressive over a ported one. Never had it installed before I had the guides done, so I couldn't tell you

Never had any dealings with the guy, nor would I ever want too, but this is symptomatic of lots of 'small business start-ups' - they are not prepared to put in the initial capital to produce product to cover overheads and sink any profit back into the business over and over until they become self sustaining - only then should the profits produce a dividend to owner as reward for the hard work / slog to get to that position. I know of one shop that does the 'Rob Peter to pay Paul' business model and has done for as long as i've known it, only difference is they don't shaft the customers and will / do deliver - eventually! Its a bloody hard world currently for the little guys but Martek or whatever they are called now aren't helping themselves (or rather they are but not in a good way!)

It doesn't take any business acumen to not fuck over your customers, and to realise that over 25+ years, it might be a good idea to go into partnership with someone who is good at the non-practical side so as those who are good at the practical bit can concentrate on that. Didn't the Harris brothers work that one out about 30 seconds after they started?

I had dealings with that clown years ago. Hes a talented fabricator but cant run a business to save his life. His MO is to use other peoples money to pay his bills, hence why he takes more orders then he has any intention of fulfilling. I got my money back via my son in law paying him a visit where his bravado promptly vanished. Im surprised he hasnt been filled in yet considering the amount of people he has over. He also makes numerous facebook accounts to defend himself or big himself up.
