Where's it gone?

[Lou Girardin]

True, but the cage can smoke two tyres at the same time...

How about you ride a less powerful bike for a while, then hop back on the Suzuki and you'll be so happy with it's power delivery

You are NOT getting my bike.

[Ixion]

But you have already killed or misplace one third of your horsies. Continue at this rate and very soon Mr Flying Pony's machine will be more powerful than thine.

[Pixie]

How come you sell Harleys and Buells yet ride a bandit?

This question contains it's own answer

[Pixie]

Don't know about horses, but I smell a rat

The rats stay away from my bandit...
My water tank, on the other hand...

What Gear Did They Dyno It In ? Was It Tied Down Properly With No Rear Wheel Slip? Does It Have A Maple Leaf Emblem On Any Of The Stickers?if It Has The Stock Muffler Does It Have A Cat In The Muff For Euro Compliance? Can You Afford A Better Bike?

IS #41 THE BASE ASSEMBLY ON THE ABOVE FICHE THE PROBLEM , WE HAD A BIKE WHERE THE PINK WIRE NEED TO BE CLIPPED CAUSE IT HAD THE ANTI WHEELIE FUNCTION RETARDING THE IGNITION

[MacD]

Older Suzukis like some models of the RF had the pink wire ignition retard system. The Haynes Bandit manual shows the 2nd/3rd gear position wires as being the red/black and green/blue pair in the 4-way connector behind the LHS side panel. The blue wire is the neutral wire and black/white is earth.

Maybe it would be worth trying the bike with the gear position wires disconnected in case, as Winja suggests, there's a fault and its running permanently retarded?

[Lou Girardin]

The Dyno is the latest Dynojet, we are the agents for them. Dave and Gavin have done more Dyno runs than I've had hot feeds, so I trust them. They've had a 212hp turbo Gixxer on the rollers without slip.
When Gav did the initial run it was slightly rich on full throttle, he drilled the airbox to lean it out and got it right first time. Just like he did with my last Bandit. He guessed the correct jets first time out. He knows his stuff.
I've had the 2/3 gear wire disconnected and connected - no diff.
Today I've tested the TPS, it's working fine.
The next step is dynoing Pixies bike and depending on the result we'll swap ECU's.

I THOUGHT YOUR BIKE JUST HAD A SHITTY CDI NOT A ECU, YOU MIGHTA JUST GOT A SHIT BIKE

No, it's SHITE bike, but we'll soon know. But even a Friday bike shouldn't be down 30hp.

IS IT CANADIAN , EVERYTHING FROM CANADA IS A BIT RETARDED JUST LIKE WAYLANDER.HAVE YOU LOOKED DOWN THE CARBS , IT HASNT GOT A WEBBING RESTRICTOR OR SOMETHING , THE OTHER WAY THEY CAN LIMIT THE HP IS LOW LIFT CAMS OR A RESTRICTED EXHAUST, IT MAY EVEN HAVE A RESTRICTED CARB LIKE LOW LIFT CV OR HARD SPRING ETC , SUX TO BE YOU RIGHT NOW , I USUALLY BUY A NEW BIKE TO AVOID HASSLES

[Finn]

Finn has lots of hair. It's just in different places to most people. Well, different to any people , really.

The specialist said there's nothing they can do about the hair on the soles of my feet. That doesn't bother me as much as getting the shits from eating 2 dozen bananas a day.

I'll challenge any of you to an arm wrestle though.

I'm told it's a NZ/Aust spec - no restrictions.

No hair in the intake or exhaust either.

And the soles of your feet..?

Are all of your cylinders firing, spark plugs getting enough juice and cylinders getting enough fuel?

Have you done a compression test?

Did you suddenly notice a drop in HP or only found out when placed on the dyno?

Since it's putting out 1/3 less HP than the factory indicates it should, couldn't you just take it back to Suzuki to fix or are they paying for the tab of this little hide-n-seek adventure?
