most shop in spore wont let you hold up their space for your project cos inch of soil is inch of gold in Spore.

 

I think your hold up area should be a 'good' shop in Ah Gua lane in JB, prob rebuild period is 2 wks to 1 months - reasonable, I know of one, Yi Yat motor who may allow you to do that.

 

Btw I am thinking of ordering CDI for GSF400P

from Ebay. USD60 only but shipping cost USD 20.

 

If 1 more bro order, we can each sace 10 USD from the freight .

According to that ebay picture, it wouldnt fit my 1993 Bandit 400P as the part number is different. Should be 32900-10D60 rather that 32900-10D30 according to that picture in ebay.

 

Your part number matches the ebay one?

 

ps: 32900-10D30 seems to be for a GSXR 400.

Some choices for you guys when it comes to the CDI:

 

1) Im able to order the CDI(derestricted, non OEM) for bandit that would fit for about US$140 including slow shipping(2-4 weeks). This price is as of today and subjected to change if they cease production.

2) Go to Guan Hoe Co @Kaki Bukit autobay and they are able to fix your CDI for $120++

3) Rip open your CDI and change the capacitors your own but run a big risk of frying other parts of your bike. (i dont recommend)

wooo wow i need cdi for bandit 400 V also .... jus tow my bike to workshop sad man...

Your workshop sure quote $800+ for brand new, if need to use urgently then i suggest you let Guan Ho repair it for you. i think cost $120++. If not in a rush then take a pic of the cdi and post here, will try to quote you on a brand new unrestricted one.

halfoxstore，您好！

 

I have a 93' Suzuki GSF400P Bandit. I am from Singapore.

 

to be sure that they are compatible, I checked your CDI Model against mine.

 

Your Item: 32900-10D30

BB7243

 

My item (I copy from my bike):

32900-10D60

BB7701

 

Can you advise whether they are compatible ?

 

Thanks

CDI for GSF400P or GSXR400 ??

 

Lister from ebay reply by saying that in principles they are compatible.

 

However, He cannot guarantee.

 

That's why I procrastinate from last Christmas till now, but since CDI is for firing sequence and timing of the spark plug, in principle it should be the same for GSXR400 and GSF400P as the 2 engines are 'brothers' rite?

 

My CDI is working fine, I just want to try this unit which the lister quote as digitally controlled and supposed to be better in every way, I dun mind buying an extra CDI for USD70++ ~ USD80and keep as back up, but any one want to order together combine shipping then we can save US10 each.

You can try but i wouldn't think it would work as our ignition timing rotor is different from the one in gsxr.

Do it once and do it correct, if i can get 2 more person here willing to share shipping with me, i can try to get it for US$125-US$130.

Happy Lunar New Year too All !!

Just completed a 1600km trip on the B4 and I'm glad to say the 18 year old bike held up well against the elements and 2 S4. Cruising speed was 140-170 and the only casualty was the exhaust pipe when it decided to 'tong' itself by burning a hole through at the bottom resulting in a super bassy and loud growl! Can't fault it as the exhaust at the bottom of the end can was badly corroded and was the weak point. So anyone that wants to tour with the bandit just do it with confidence!

Hi Silver Sufer;

 

I am planning for a Hatyai - Beting - Cameron Trip with my bandit4 in early March. I am in the mist of preparing my b4 for the trip such as equipping with a bigger touring windshield. Now When I ride in the highway, I think my rpm in 7K to 7.5K when I am cruising at 120 km/hr. So I dun

think that my b4 can tahan cruising at 140 km/hr which i believe will make my rpm at 8.5 K (at 140 km/h).

I am thinking of changing my sprocket size to bring down the rpm when the speed is 120 km/hr.

If you can advise on your rpm when you are cruising and if you know what sprocket size you are using, it would help me to decide which sprocket to go for. thanks

[silversurfer2012]

My bike at 130kmh would be zhun zhun 8k rpm, but we rarely cruise at that speed unless the scenery is nice. 130kmh actually a nice speed to cruise at, 140kmh and above and you would be fighting the wind without any windshield to deflect the wind up. Dont know the size but it's original size according to my bike shop. Hope this helps.

Hi, can I check with you guys what would be the OTR price for a Bandit 1250? Are there multiple variants of this bike (naked, sport touring, touring, etc)?

 

I am considering alternatives to my 8 year old FZ1, and this has come up as one of the options. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

[SC Gaban]

greetings all. im curious about the bandit400 and wish to get one for long distance riding. consider the age of the 400, i wish to try one since its cheap. however, i noob about the maintainces, pros and cons and parts available about the bike. can anyone enlighment me about it. thnxs!

[Sambal]

hello bandit bros ! beeen a long time since i visit this page ! just came back from a short touring trip to kota tinggal and back. one thing i can add is it really doesnt prefer to be in the cruising speed of 80-90, runs rough and hotter than usual. it really like to stay in the high rpms above 6000 till sometimes it's hard to believe how smooth the ride became. a high revvy engine since it shares the same engine as it brother the gsxr400 but with detunes of course. it wouldnt be a problem on longer trips just be sure to bring 'cacing' in case of flat tyres. haha. would love to join you guys for a tour once i change the engine oil !

i already took a photo of my CDI and here what the number says

 

32900-10D60

BB7701 1124

 

hope you find your's the same as mine. i dont feel the need to get this derestricted ones yet but doesnt hurt to know that there's a compatible ones out there in case of **** happens. plus no powercut too. i have a hard time reaching redline at 13.5k rpm, any of you guys experience this too? cant remember what rpm i was on when i hit 180kph just once, never wanna try it again. haha
