1982 GS550L Ignitor & Signal Generator test?

OK, I am a little lost. My bike has an electronic ignition unit. It does not have points and that says to replace points ignition??? This is an 82 model and that also says 80-81? Can I go ahead and go with the Dyna unit and just eliminate my ignitor altogether?

I checked resistance on coils and both are good. I am getting 4.8-5.0 on primary and 14.9-15.0 on secondary.

Will check voltage tonight.
You should be getting somewhere around 30,000-50,000 0hms on the secondary side of the coils.

hhhmmm.... I just ordered the Dyna-S ignition so it looks liek I will probably be ordering the Dyna coils as well. I am pretty sure the ignitor is bad too anyway and even if not it sounds like this is a better way to go in the long run.
 
UGH!

Went ahead and spent the money and ordered the coils and new plug wires as well. Will have all new ignition and charging unit now...lmao

So what is one of these bikes worth???? lol

You're not allowed to sell it now. Once you're upside down it's yours forever.

LMAO... I may not want to. I had a GS650 many years ago and loved that thing. Very smooth ride if I remember correctly and pretty good speed. Not sure about the 550 but might be a good little bike to just keep around. However I have 2 garages full of them now and really don't need another...lmao

If you can make them I'd be interested in buying some.
 
Repair that puppy within a DAY!
Under $20.00!
Sheesh!

Actually, I think it's best just to make a new one as it seems everyone is afraid to take the old one to an oven @ 450 deg. F to remove encasing EPOXY.

Think!
Your soldering iron is around the 600 to 850 deg. F range.

Also note that the're mainly 3 different types of material being used today to seal electronics, the oven is for the epoxy encased units ONLY.

Just a thought.
 
Forget it, they want me GONE!
Envy is all I can say, my mistake? That will be revealed later on, you will see it first hand.

Try ebay.

Dude,

What part of these posts do you not see?

I can see why they want you gone. Half the stuff you say makes no sense even if you do know what you are talking about. Drop it already and go screw up someone else's thread.
 
New question here unrelated to the argument.

I am quite handy with the discrete transistor and resistor and have access to a large quantity of the items listed in the $20 bill of material. Is there some business opportunity here where I could make a simple circuit board and maybe sell 20 or 30 of them? What circuit are you talking about, and is there a schematic available.
