I recently bought a 95 bandit. It definitely has the variable cam. As I was pulling it down to do a valve clearance check i noticed that the solenoid and fail safe switch were unplugged. For the life of me I cant find anywhere on the loom where they would plug in. The manual isn't that helpful as it only schematic. It kind of lends itself to a bigger picture question should i even care? The bike was running before i got it. Is the vc setup worth it and does it make any real difference to how the bike runs?
Hi Singo. Can you post a couple of pics of the engine/setup so we can have a look at what's maybe going on in there. According to the below wiring diagram (may be the wrong one), it looks like SOLENOID pink and orange/blue wires go back to the CDI unit. Electrical is not my strong point, so hopefully one of the gurus can help you out.
This information might be of assistance. https://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/suzuki-vc-engine-variable-lift-information.10507/ Are you sure that the frame and engine match??? Could a VC engine have been placed in an earlier frame? It appears that with the VC stuff de-energised the engine should be running on the higher performance cam lobes. The net effect would be that you might loose a little performance at lower speeds but the top end performance should be ok. Peter.
I already posted that reference above Look up the wiring diagram and see if the wiring /plugs wateva are there for the solenoid/CDI https://www.2fiftycc.com/index.php?resources/suzuki-gsf250vy-wiring-diagram.394/
