    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.

What CDI (ignitor) do I need?

I have an '81 GS750E. The bike did not come with a CDI (ignitor, igniter, ignition box, etc.) so I have no idea which one I need. There are two connectors near the spot that the CDI bolts to, do they both go to the CDI? I've seen two types of CDIs for early GS's: one with one group of wires and a ground wire, the other with two groups of wires with separate connectors. I don't want to spend money on a CDI only to find out that I've bought the wrong one. Help!

Forget the stock ignition and get a Dyna S. It'll probably be cheaper, and it'll definitely be easier and more reliable.

Figure out which type of ignition you have (KD OR ND) and whether you have a stock mechanical advance (my '81 did), and get the appropriate kit:

Do a bit of searching around the forums and you'll find lots of info about Dyna ignitions -- they come very highly recommended here.
 
I'll second the Dyna S. I installed one on my 550E and I have had no problems with the ignition since. I bought mine online from MPS Racing.
 
Your ignitor uses the following updated Suzuki part number:

32900-45120

The old number was:

32900-45110

The bad, (very bad, really) news is that part sells for $376.52. So you're more or less forced to find a used part or go with the Dyna ignition.
