I have absolute confidence in this ignition system. All my bikes have it installed. I don’t use Uotani, but I absolutely install the Plasma Booster. *I only consider Uotani for the igniter when I’m really in trouble.
Today’s Maintenance Log
Vehicle:Suzuki Bandit 1200 (K6) Black
Work Performed:
Correcting the installation (wiring) of the aftermarket ignition tuning part **”Plasma Booster”** that had been previously installed.
Why the correction was necessary:
Excessive use of electrotaps (crimp connectors) and poor wiring routing can cause poor connections and breaks, and in the worst case, the engine can stall while riding.
Result: The electrical system that was a source of concern is now neatly organized, and powerful multi-spark is reliably delivered to the oil-cooled engine!

If you want to make it even more solid, using a stepped design to increase the contact area would be better.
The included collar has a small outer diameter, so when inserted on the engine side there’s a lot of clearance. Normally you’d countersink the bolt head area and insert this collar there with a longer bolt to secure it. With this aluminum collar, it crushes easily and tends to get buried in the guard side. Basically, it becomes loose easily and the engine isn’t properly secured. In a crash, the front mount can move easily, so it’s good to remake it when the timing is right. That’s why I remade it this time.
Trying to replace the fuel hose… it’s a different diameter.
Oh… it’s thick… this kind of thing is troublesome.
The tank side is crumbling and deteriorating. It definitely won’t last 20 years, so replace it when the timing is right.
The OPEN side throttle cable also has kinks, so I’m replacing it. The choke cable is already discontinued.
For vehicles that won’t get reproductions, it’s good to get consumable parts while you can.
I did a light body wash.
Correcting the Uotani and Plasma Booster.
It’s a bit of a mysterious setup (*’ω’*). Quite a few parts involved.
I cut off the unused parts with shears and then radius them. No waste makes it look clean.
I’m also fixing the Plasma Booster installation. The engine actually starts with this… I was a bit surprised (*’ω’*). *The Plasma Booster connects to the signal line. For a moment I thought it was the discontinued V+, but it was Plasma.
A simple oscilloscope like this is enough to see waveforms. There are ones that can see 10 times finer detail, but for my level this is sufficient.
I also synchronized the carburetors.
I’ve made quite an irregular installation change, but it’s very simple and the unit can be removed in an instant. At first glance it looks uninstalled, which makes the aftermarket parts look more refined.
That’s it for now, waiting for parts.
Fixing the Wiring: Optimizing the Plasma Booster on a Suzuki Bandit 1200 (K6).
Vehicle: Suzuki Bandit 1200 K6 (Black). Work: Rewiring and correcting the installation of an aftermarket “Plasma Booster” ignition module. Details: The bike came to the garage with a previously installed Plasma Booster. While it’s a great part for increasing spark energy in oil-cooled engines, the wiring job was poorly done, which is a common issue with used bikes. Poor wiring can lead to sudden engine stalls. We completely removed the messy connections, resoldered everything securely, and rerouted the wires safely away from heat and vibration. Verdict: The electrical system is now clean and reliable. The engine fires up instantly with a powerful spark. A beautiful, hidden wiring job is the key to peace of mind on long tours!
