    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...

    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.

Swapping ignition coils

My 80 gs1100e coils are out for now and I have coils off of a 90s model katana 600 the primary sides are testing good (about 3ohms) and the secondary side is testing about 37K which from what I've read is good for these particular ones (Between 25k and 40k). My question is will these be ok to swap until I can get a replacement for the original. I believe the plug caps from the katana have a resistor in them, but I don't think the 1100's did. Any help is always appreciated

part number from the katana coils is 129711-2180 just for reference

Also the original coils are ok I'm pretty sure reading about 15k on the secondary but I don't get any reading with the caps on could I simply swap the caps off of the katana coils onto the 1100 since they are the same screw on style?

Should work just fine.

The stock plug caps DO have a resistor in them.

That's great news, I did take one of the plug caps apart the other day in an attempt to clean it, it didn't have one in there so someone has taken at least one of them out before I got the bike
