1982 gs450t

Anyone know if the 1982 GS450T is inductive ignition or cdi? I was on the phone with Accel and they said that I would need to know when ordering coils.

I was told I could run the Accel 140408 coils, but wanted to check with you guys too.

"inductive ignition" ? sounds intriguing. If you have stock ignition system, you likely have an "ignitor" not cdi.
Is there something wrong with your current setup?

That is what the guy at Accel called it. Honestly, I do not know how the current set up is. I am tearing it down now, but wanted to kind of get my head wrapped around what my options could be in the future. I found this really cool set up from Dynatek the DynaS. It says Gs400, but the tech said that it can be made to work my adding a spacer and notching the mounting bracket slightly on the unit.

Well, I'm sure the guys at Accel and dynatek could use your money, but the stock ignition setup worked well- sometimes the ignitors crapped out- why not wait and find out if your existing system is good?

To answer your question, you have an inductive system.

NONE of the GS-series bikes have "CDI", although the uninformed often call it that, because it is transistorized.
