Bandit katana engine swap cdi swap

[bandit1200wideopen]

I put an 1988 1100 katana engine in my 1999 1200 bandit.  The Kat had an 11,000 rpm redline and the bandit has a 10,000 rpm redline. I want to hook the katana cdi box to bandit wiring

You're going to Cop it now - Kats never had oil cooled, 11,000 rpm engines - no matter what the US importers called them!

But in answer to the question - what is the problem?

[bandit1200wideopen]

I need to know what wires from the katana cdi box I hook to what wires on the bandit harness. As soon as I get a chance I'll send a picture of both tachometer. The bandit tach says 10,000 and the katana tach says 11,000. Either way I hope the advance curve is different.

I also have RS38mm smooth bore carbs

F**k me doesn't anyone ever bother looking at wiring diagrams anymore ! Suzuki San has pretty much used the same colours for their loom since the Dinosaurs were around! You need to worry about Orange / white (12v+), Black/Yellow (coil 2&3), White (coil 1&4), Black/White (ground), Black/Red (or Red/Black) ((tacho signal), Blue (Ign pick-up) and Yellow (Ign pick-up). Everything else is Blandit related and not required to run a 'normal' oil boiler.

BTW - Suzuki tacho's will often over read by 1000rpm and most engines are well past their power peak if approaching the indicated red line so having a 10 or 11k red line is largely immaterial!

I'm new to this forum stuff. Not very computer savy.

Thank you by the way.

Jurassic differ to Cretaceous: aircooled and slabby don't use the black/red that's present on later oilcooled

[Gixer1460]

I did say 'pretty much' and as we are talking about two later oil cooled engines your point is irrelevant LOL!

Just fit the 1100F motor and use the blandit cdi.... the engine will never know

and stop calling the 1100F a Katana.

RTFR.

no need, worked on many of em

I was a good boy, seen this post this morning before I went to work and didn't say anything about USA and non Katana's 

Don't forget the 1100f (not kat) ran a big 52t rear sprocket and the b12 ran a 45t 

That will give a big rev difference at top rpm

Who in their right mind would ride a powerscreen about at 11,000 rpm anyway? It may be amusing to watch though before the inevitable happened.... Anyway, the whole point of the powerscreen engine (in stock trim) is mega mid range.
