    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

82 gs1100 igniter question

Hey guys I just swapped my 82 gs1100g motor into my 82 gs850L and have run into an unexpected issue with the ignitor pickups. The pickups on my 850 have two wires coming out which then go to the ignitor, but the pickups on my 1100 have four wires coming out. What would be the easiest way to go about this? Can I just swap the pickups? Or do I have to get the igniter off an 1100 to make it work? Sorry I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this igniter business, I searched but didn't really find too much info. Has anyone that has done this swap run into this before?
 
You need to use the 850 signal generators and spark advance mechanism. I "think" they are a direct bolt on, but not positive. The 1100G didn't use a centrifugal spark advance, since the ignitor had the advance built in.

Look at the parts here. http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm
