ciath Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Hi all, I have a MK1 Bandit 600 with a Slabside Gsxr750 engine, I had it running alright on the bandit cdi and pickups but I tracked down a gsxr cdi so swapped back to the gsxr 750 twin pickups and cdi and I have no spark. The bandit cdi is the mk1 8 pin (a 6 pin and a 4 pin block). Any wiring wizards that can advise me on how to use the gsxr cdi with the mk1 bandit 600 loom. I've seen a diagram on a 1200 or newer but I can't even find a wiring diagram for the mk1 600. Any help would be much appreciated. I can plug in the pickups and the 4 pin connector on the loom to the one on the gsxr cdi but there is a 6 pin connector that I have nowhere to connect. I presume the 4 pin connector needs to be rewired from my research and the 6 pin isn't needed? Regards, Keith Ryan Quote
ciath Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 So I managed to track down a few wiring diagrams and this is what I have come up with. Not 100% sure what to do from here but I know what I can try anyway, Can I take a feed from the coil wires to power the cdi and a feed from the 3/2 coil to give signal to the tacho? Everything else I should be able to just match up the colours and pray it works. Quote
ciath Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 I swapped the black/white wire with the white wire on the loom side of the connector. I plugged in the GSXR CDI and bam spark on all four cylinders. The bike still did not start however the battery is weak. I was getting a strong spark on cylinder 1 and 4 and a weak spark on cylinder 2 and 3. Is that normal, perhaps a bad coil for cylinder 2 and 3? Is there something else that I am missing. I havent connected the signal wire for that tacho, only wire I dont know about now is the Orange/Red on the bandit loom, not sure if its needed or what it should be connected to? Quote
