Side stand switch is a simple open close switch and only works when in gear.
The pickup only needs testing for resistance and to test you simply connect one test probe to each wire, reading is around 100 ohms.
You can use a bandit400 gasket available from any suzi dealer.

thanks youvery much vvs you have been most helpful i get nothing off it so i guess its fryd will have to wait till i get paid unless i can source a used one thankyou all will update when fixed with the bike back together and shiny p.s should i be looking at why it broke? did actualy happen on the first day she saw rain and my brother had a party that night garden was crammed >.<

here is a pic just to confirm my test is correct

Can be cheaper to look for a second hand casing that has the pickup still fitted.

got my new pulse gen today and she coughed back into life only let it run few seconds though as its really low on oil will top it up when my gasket gets here and take her out i hope xD thanks all for helping me find my problem im sure you saved me a pretty penny

is it the pulse coil aka pick up coil?? the small black box with 2 or 3 wires.

yes there is a pic on the previous pic, seems it has differant name depending on where you live but on the suzuki receipt it says pulse gen assembly

Hi (and sorry for the re-floating of the thread).

Any advice or update on this? My '93 400V Bandit is having exactly the same issues and I have no clue what can be going on, as I think 2 coils and the pickup down at the same time is a bit weird...

- 12v in the coil + (orange)
- 3.6-3.7 resistance in the coils (primary)
- Nothing in the secondary (coil-spark plug)
- Nothing in the pickup sensor, no resistance, not even continuity. The sensor looks like the one in the pics, as been hit. Appearance of the wires is good though, and the bike has only 10.000km.

Thanks!!

You must have a resistance in the pick up, its around the 100ohm mark give or take 5 ohms, if this is giving no reading then you must start by changing to a food one.
