    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

With all of the talk I've seen lately about coils, I'm looking further into buying a new set of coils. I have decided on Accel, so that's out of the way, but I have a few questions.

1) Will they improve performance?

2) Which set do I buy? CDI or non-CDI
Yes, I feel stupid for having to ask that! So don't pick on me!
 
Re: Coils

JT, no GS of any model was ever manufactured with a CDI ignition system.
You have an electronic ignition system.
You want the NON CDI
You want 3 ohm coils
Yes, they do improve performance. Particularly, throttle response will be notably crispier. Gas milage should also improve a small amount and plugs will burn a wee bit cleaner. For the Accels, gap your plugs to 35 thou. Dont let anyone tell you you will need to rejet because of using the Accel coils. It simply is not true. Trust me. :-)

Thanks Earl, I assumed Non-CDI, but did not want to be wrong about it. Coulda been bad if I were wrong, I suspect!

BTW - Your advice in an earlier post about using talc and epoxy resin really worked great. There was a noticeable sound improvement as well. My bike sounds like it's not even running now. :lol: :lol:
 
An added bonus is your bike will never have a foot fungus. :-)
