Firing on 1/4 cylinder only

[Jakes2001]

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.

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.

Do all B12 have that ?

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

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

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

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??
