Dwell on a GS750

[Guest]

Hi,

after a few years of not riding I decided to buy another GS series Suzuki. The one I bought had been sitting for quite awhile and now I'm getting it caught up on some maintenance. I'm about to throw a new set of points on it tomorrow and was wondering if anyone had any specs as far as the dwell angle goes.. I used to do my points gap using this method but I cant find the dwell angle specification anymore. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

I have also used dwell angle to set points on other vehicles, but have never seen that spec for a GS.

Fortunately, all of my bikes have electronic ignition, so I don't have to worry about setting points, but it would still be nice to know.

Oh oh yeah I saw that. I think what I'll do is just set the new points exactly and post the dwell reading I find.

Fit a Dyna S ignition, set it once and forget it. No need to mess around with all that 1970's electrickery.....

I spent a significant portion of my life messing with dwell meters.
Then I discovered a trick of fitting a feeler blade of the correct thickness in the points and snugging up to the cam.
