    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Hi everyone,
I am just wondering if a 1984 GS 700 ignitor unit will work for a 1985 GS 700.
Thanks!
Eric
 
There's no such thing as a 1984 GS700, they were only made for one model year, 1985. It seems that people buy an old GS700 to part it out on ebay, knowing nothing about the bike, and call it a 1984, because the manufacture date listed on the VIN tag on most GS700s is Oct-Nov-Dec 1984. They are 1985 models, but were actually first shipped in late 1984.

If the ignitor is off a 1983 GS750E or ES, or off of a 1983-1986 Canadian GS750, it will work on your bike as well.
 
Your ignitor will also be found on these bikes:

1982 GS1100G SIGNAL GENERATOR
1982 GS1100GK SIGNAL GENERATOR
1982 GS850G SIGNAL GENERATOR
1983 GS1100G SIGNAL GENERATOR
1983 GS1100GK SIGNAL GENERATOR
1983 GS750E, ES, SIGNAL GENERATOR
1983 GS850G SIGNAL GENERATOR
1984 GS1100 GKE SIGNAL GENERATOR
1985 GS700E, ES SIGNAL GENERATOR
 
Great, that's some good information, thanks Griffin. I thought the 700 was a one year only bike, but I thought I might have missed something out there.
Thanks again -
Eric
 
He's looking for ignitors, not signal generators. The signal generators are the pickups at the end of the crank.
 
Yea I know...the parts page list the ignitors under signal generator.
 
Thanks everyone, this information is great, I went ahead and got the ignitor unit, so I'll test it out and see if it is a go.
Thanks again, I love this forum -
Eric
