    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.

Ignition gurus: Pickups GS1000 vs GS1100

In the process of doing my GS1000G fuel injection project, I'm running into a problem with getting a tach signal. Long story short, I want to use two pickups to send the ignition input to the Microsquirt controller. The controller needs 4 wires, two from each pickup.

My 1981 GS1000G is wired with two pickups, but they share a common ground wire, so only 2 wires exit to the ignitor. Apparently something changed in 1982, as I see the 1100G wiring shows all 4 wires go to the ignitor (as do most 4 cylinder Kawasakis with electronic ignition).

Looking at GS1100 pickups on eBay, the plate seems different as to mounting- possibly recessed. I thought the engine cases were the same?

What I need to know is if the 1100 pickups will fit onto the 1000 case? If not, I may have to adapt some Kawasaki parts into the setup.
