What was the fix?
I'm doing a 1996 gsfs 600 had massive pains I've bought pulse signal generator new equipment from America and all came down too a 100 ohm 1 watt resister I have no electrical tools and I just had to go ahead with the manual lol never knew about the resister till 2 weeks ago I found a video on YouTube a guy made a wiring plug to start it and it had a resister so always watch and learn and try do
Took my 1200s bandit for MOT today,failed on highbeam switch default,no response from the switch,I had it apart,can't see any faults,oh,and I copped a nail in the rear tyre on the way there,gutted,any ideas anyone?thanks.

Hi Dave, I have a similar symptom with my bandit too (GSF1250 SA from 2007). Intermittently the starter would not budge – draws a massive amount of current (visible because all the lights etc dim down) when the symptom occurs. Most of the time will still restart in a single press of the starter button after 30 minutes or so of being left alone (that is, if I don't drain the battery trying to start – bike electrics get reset as if battery is disconnected if that happens). Have bought a Yaber jump starter battery pack that I carry on my bike due to this. Jump starting gets it to work in a flash. Would still like to get to the bottom of the issue. The problem states after a rectifier was replaced few years ago when Suzuki did a recall. I even changed battery first and then even put in a new starter (expensive!) but the intermittent problem persists. Garage could not find the problem either. Love to know how you solved yours.
The greatest triumph of electricity it will flow no matter how tenuous the contact, the greatest weakness of electricity it will flow no matter how tenuous the contact, to paraphrase a wise man.
Same issue with my gsf bandit. I was lucky because bike end his life when 10 m left to reach garage. Will try to check all wires on this weekend. Will let You know what I will find.
Dave. You fecking legend! I’ve got the exact same problem on a friends bike I’m restoring and your videos been a lifesaver! Keep em coming!
Have a.chat with Del Boy or Mackie, they will sort it.
Hi David, I just had a similar problem with my Intruder. I would use the kill switch and the bike would then refuse to start. Thought it was the start button for a while then realised that I had no problem starting if I didnt use the kill switch but turned off with the ignition. I recently stripped down the switch cluster and cleaned up the contacts and spring in the kill switch and the problem has now gone!.. Unfortunately replaced by another one but that's another story! You may of course also have a problem with your earth and the two problems together make it very hard to diagnose. Hope you get it sorted soon. Enjoying the videos, keep up the great work.
Hiya dave mike/jan here got bandit sorted now brilliant now bro. right do you no the indicators you put on the dragstar 650. can you put ones like that on the front of a bandit. because just dont like those little bullet ones. would rather have them like on the dragstar do you think they would look abit silly on a bandit. did you sort ya bandit out the electrics 😉 keep up the great work cheers mike.
Hi David!
If you think that you don't have the skills to find a electrical problem imagine I… Sometimes I think that I was born with two left hands to change a single bolt in my motorcycles. Kkkkkkkkkk
Another great video man!

Hi David, do you have a wiring diagram? Have you tested the kill switch with the meter? I had the same problem with my old bandit and it was the kill switch earthing out when it shouldn’t be! Worth a delve into mate.
