I assume your Coil packs click into a harness like mine?


make sure you hear (or feel) a "click" when you push them into the harness (wiring side) plug

Ive had the little inner rubber seals stopping them seating properly before

Hi< you can just swap the two wires leading to each coil under tank from one coil to the other one, I take it it's a early GSF600, then check both for sparks, then if other coil sparks you know coil ok and it's deeper. But check coils first, maybe you lost one coil! post when you know.

Ok

So pulled plugs getting NO spark from plugs 2&3

Tested by pulling plug resting in block started the bike no spark

It still started with plug out


Plugs are brand new


So does this rule carbs out ?

Do plugs 2 & 3 happen to run off the same coil ? Update, yes they do.

Hi, Remove tank, and find the coils, each coil is fed by 2 small electrical wires, first check that wires going to R/H coil are fitted tightly, if so swap wires from L/H coil which is (or should be fitted to plugs 1 & 4) to R/H coil, then crank engine over to see if plugs 2 & 3 spark, if they do, then coil is working. And you have lost feed to that coil, could be a broken wire in loom or pick up, or ecu.


Have you a workshop manual? And what bandit is yours? year model.

Looks like slowbusa gets the gold star

The connecters had either came loose or was shited up

Took connecters off cleaned replaced

Fired up

I don’t know if me doing that or they just came loose

Is there a way I can crimp them up to stop them from coming loose again

Cheers

You can buy connectors on ebay but you "May" have to trim the rubber gromet a little with a razor blade to get them to fix snugly


But as long as the old ones click into place you should be ok


If they are still a little loose or your not happy with the conection what you need to do is VERY slightly bend the pins....and I mean Slightly!

That will force the metal together making a tighter connection
