After taking my coils into be checked to see which one was bad the guy at the shop informed me that they were not the right coils to begin with because they the one good one read 7 ohms. So my question is what coils do I need to buy for a 78 GS 550E? I looked on Z1's site and saw that there was a few to chose from, so a little guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Stock coils are 5 ohms, I'm not electrical genius but I'm pretty sure anything from 3-5 ohms will work just fine. Never heard of 7 ohmsRob

The other option is you could always just get set of stock coils that work. Stock GS coils rarely fail and there is a way of putting in new wires.Rob

Anyone know if these would work, the place selling them is right down the street from me so I'm hoping to get them there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/81-Suzuki-GS...item1e80078adb I looked at the 81 gs650 on Z1's site and the same electrical parts came up on the search so my best guess is they used the same electrical system. But I figure I better get a second opinion.Last edited by Guest; 09-21-2013, 09:13 PM.Comment
