Opposite Spark Plugs Don't fire
I have a 79 Suzuki GS750L. Two of the cylinders and respective plugs aren't firing (opposite sides of bike). We couldn't see a spark and the plugs/cables were relatively cool. The other two work just fine.

Is the bikes maintaince up to date? Points and condenser in good shape and properly adjusted? Plugs in good shape? If you don't know the answer to these questions, get a manual and do all the maintaince first. BassCliff has a manual for your bike - 8 valve 750.
Good luck.

My thoughts are that you should verify the condition of the ignition system elements - points, condensers, plugs. Next step is check for proper voltage at the coils and resistance of the plug caps.
