    Bad igniter

    Does anyone know where I can get a schematic for the igniter on a GS650GL? Mine has tested bad and I may try to make one if I can get the parts. I used to work in electronics and I think I can do it. Otherwise, is there another more available igniter even from another manufacturer that I can wire in? My wife has put me on a budget (Get rid of the Damn thing!) so I need to fix this as cheaply as possible. Any help besides get a dyna ign would be nice. Maybe I'll get one of those for christmas. Thanks!!

      The factory suzuki manual details how to check the ignitor. If you need one, check one of the online parts fishe and look for other Suzuki bikes that take the same ignitor part number and then check ebay.

      Good luck.

      To measure is to know.

        Why not just take the circuit board out?

        You can then start with a new circuit board and chemical etch the cirucit paths.

        Hopefully if the numbers are visible on the parts you may be able to get the capacitors, resistors and 555 timers from radio shack.

        Try "do it yourself " electronics forums and do searches it may be someone has done this.

        Hope this helps.

          If you find or draw out the circuit diagram I would appreciate a copy, so that I can file it for future use if mine does fail. Rebuilding the complete board with brand new components would be a good idea and having such a board ready as a spare would even be better!

            I'll work on it this weekend. When I pulled the screw out of the bottom of the igniter there was another aluminum plate pressed in. If I can get that out, I'll take pics and see if I can get the parts.
