    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...

Hello, I have a 1987 suzuki gs 450 L. After some testing, I have what I believe are bad ignition coil pick ups. I get no ohm readings at the connector. Anyhow, if I replace it. Does timing need to be reset ? I dont know if my particular model is suppose to or not. But, the advance will not turn by hand. Bike ran great up until a few months ago. I get absolutely no spark. I tested and replaced coils, tested starter removed from bike, new plugs, new solenoid, cleaned starter switch contacts, cleaned all battery contacts, good battery and the bike wont spark. I believe Im down to the CDI and coil pick ups. I strongly feel its the pick ups being I get no ohm readings at the connector. Need to know if timing needs to be reset and where is engine ground on my bike ?
