    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.

After all my headaches i have found that when i squeeze one coil while running i feel a slight shock and it runs crappy. I dont wanna buy dyna coils.

what are some good oem coils? Bandit coils? Other bikes? the spec is 3-5 ohm so i guess that makes my system 3 ohm
 
Bandit or GSXR coils (other than the individual coils that are part of the spark plug cap) will work on your bike. Or, you can use coils from any four cylinder GS and they will work too. You should be able to find a used set of coils on ebay for about $20-$30.

Bear in mind that the only coils that will not require a bit of minor modding to mount directly up are coils off of an '83-'86 GS550E/ES/L, or off an '83-'85 GS750/700E/ES.

The other coils should fit in with a bolt in one mounting hole and a zip tie through the other hole to mount it in place securely.
 
what price and also has technology changed on coils since 85-96? i can get a used set of bandit coils for 25 plus 12 shipping
 
Unless there was just no way I could possibly afford anything else, there is no way I'd buy a set of coils without removeable wires.
 
oh i see well as i have already spent way too much on this im not going that route
 
we could do that, i have bought these bandit coils but i am waiting for the guy to answer my question on shipping on these. I think checking the coils with yours might be faster

Wires wear out and need to be replaced. They start to arc from each other affects running.

I'm still trying to figure out what japanese version of crack they were smoking when they had the completely idiotic idea to make coils with the plug wires semi-permanently attached.
