    '79 GS550E coils

    I searched for coils and wasn't able to find what I was looking for, just want to find a reputable site to order new coils (with wires/boots) for this thing. I haven't spent much time with this bike yet and am still trying to figure out where to get parts! Thanks!

    Suzuki / Kawasaki / Universal 4 Ohm Dual Output Ignition Coil - 12 Volt | eBay
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/192718382362
    Set of 2 - Suzuki GS550 GS750 GS850 GS1000. GS550 - 1977-1979. GS550 Indy - 1977. GS1000 - 1978-1979. GS750 - 1977-1979. Set of two 4 ohm 12 volt dual output universal ignition coil. This coil fits many different twins (that require 1 dual output coil) and four cylinder bikes that require 2 dual output coils.


    Made in Taiwan, not China proper. You could do worse...

      My go-to preferred coils for the GSs and others are the MT-08 coils found on various Honda models. They're double-ended of course, but also have easily replaceable leads, which enable the easy upgrade to decent quality HT conductors.
      A set of them from a six-pot Gold Wing (3 coils) will often sell for $25 ish.

      79 GS850N - Might be a trike soon.
      80 GS850T Single HIF38 S.U. SH775, Tow bar, Pantera II. Gnarly workhorse & daily driver.
      79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
      92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.

        I noticed there are a few ohm ratings for various 550 models, is 4 ohm what I want?

          I use a pair of those MT-08 coils on my GS1000 79 model there fine and as said plug leads are replaceable.

            Yes, 4 or 5 ohm for bikes with points. You can download a manual for your bike with the specs here...https://gsarchive.bwringer.com/
