    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.

I just fixed my gs1100 coil problem with dyna coils and a little rewiring. My 79gs750 is sooting the plugs and I'm going to get dyna coils for it also. What ohm. coils do I want for a points ignition system, and if I later upgrade to a dyna s or dyna III ig. system will the same dyna coils work for all. Thanks JT.
 
My '79 GS1000E came with points. I first installed a Dyna ignition and kept the stock coils. Several years later, I replaced the coils with Dyna coils. (3 ohm, the green ones.)
 
For your planned changes get the 3 ohm green coils PER Dyna installation Instructions "For breaker points, the 5 ohm coils should be use or the 3 ohm coils can be used and a 1 to 2 ohm ballist resistor placed in the 12 v line going to the coils."
When you install the dyna ign, just remove the resistor and you will have the 3 ohm coils for the dyna ign
 
The points bikes specify coils with 2 to 6 ohm primary resistance. 3ohm or thereabouts are the most common coils (GSX-Rs, bandits etc)
