Ihave looked at the wiring of the cdi thats the link in the middle!
now i says it's for a bandit but looks the same?
only difference ic i have all the wires in diag 10d60
but the black/blue tracer is where the brown is and brown where the black/blue tracer is like 10d00 diag but i have the green /yellow tracer like the diag 10d60
now i checked a friend's gsxr last night and his waz the same as diag 10d60
but his waz 96 ??????????????????????help???????????????

any help before i go mad !

since you are on KB, it is too late you have gone mad already, and welcome to the site

what is the history of the bike, is it possible it has been rewired prior to your ownership?

As for your wiring, make sure you are comparing the same model units, then trace the wires to confirm they are going to the correct points, don't worry so much what colour the wires are so much as identifying the curcuits correclty, it is not unknown for there to be colour differneces between different years,

i waz born mad !
right the wire's are in the right place for the 93 gsxr
so last night i removed the reg/rec
from the loomb
and heart jumping out of my chest pluged in the new cdi
and glad to say she runs perfect
so i went for a quick spin and its fine so i imagine a new one of those and im flying!

only thing is from all the fu@k'n around my plugs are fouled up
any one know what plugs they take and oil or gear oil
because in ireland no one has any info on em?

thanks for all your help lads

Only just seen this thread & not read too deeply.

So the regulator was replaced yes? What happens is the regulator dies & voltage soars often taking out the battery, headlight bulb, stator & the CDI.

Obviously you will have checked that the voltage on a running bike is less than 15V or the whole damn vicious cycle will reoccur.

Don't run oversized bulbs or run the oil level low. Always preserve nature, wear a helmet & don't fuk skanky hoes.
