Help wanted - CDI unit

Help!

I have a problem with my 2001 model SK1 1200 bandit which I think has been
narrowed down to the CDI unit.

Is there anyone within 50 miles of Plymouth that has a 2001 1200 bandit that
I could travel to just to swap the cdi's over to prove mine is faulty before
I splash out £340 for a new one! The Suzuki part number (also on the cdi) is
32900 31F40.

Alternatively does anyone know where I can get a good used one or have one
tested?

Thanks,

Mark

 

I have been doing exactly this for the past few days (fucked Reg / Rec on
the TS50)..

The HBOL for the TS (yeah, I know) has quite a detailed chart for fault
finding, using a basic multimeter.

Sourcing a replacement though, has not been easy.

The Suzuki dealers want around £60 for a new one, which will take who knows
how long to arrive.

I have however, managed to source a brand new one by emailing one of the web
based breakers, only £28.00.

Also, a visit to our local scrapyard yesterday resulted in 2 used ones
(operational status as yet unknown) for £4.00. Neither of these came off a
TS50, but they are identical, so your B12's CDI may have also been specced
by another manufacturer.

So there you go, online breakers and local scrapyard.

That doesn't sound too expensive, by Jap Bike Black Box standards. You
could spend half that in phone calls and petrol, looking for one.

this not my auction but it may help you

 

You utter fuckwit. What did you do, pluck this url at random or
something? The OP needs a CDI for a 1200 Bandit, which is nothing
like a CDI for a Yamaha 600.

Oh, and we post at the bottom, here.

It would seem that it isn't the cdi but the datatool duo immobiliser. After
disconnecting it it seems to be ok..........

Thanks to all who posted.

I hope its not a short somewhere on the bike that's causing it,
otherwise it could cost £680 ! Just a thought ...

So I observed on SUKBOG ... ;-)

Well done for isolating it - and saving yourself a fortune.

Now get that bleedin' Datatool cut out and binned - it'll only cause
you grief (more grief) if you leave it.

 

Is there an issue with Datatool Duo immobilisers of which I should be
aware?

 

I dunno. I just don't trust Datatool black boxes any more, after mine
went titsup, as have so many others. I don't want anything on my bike
that gets in the way of the ignition or starter circuits, TYVM.

Did you ever get that sidestand cut-out switch sorted, BTW? ;^)

 

Indeed I fucking did. What a relief - both to me and following
vehicles who were erstwhile subjected to a fusillade of backfires on
bumpy surfaces.

Put two sets in the straight bits of both the springs in the end,
effectively shortening them by ~12mm.

Good oh.

<Note for Champ>

That's just under half an inch...

 

But only by 0.5mm ...
