    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...

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's too low of ohm rating for new coils?

I've search this sub-forum, and didn't find an answer.

I'm assuming that lower ohm coils are the best choice, so would it be OK to go with 1.5 ohm coils on my 650?

I ask because it warns not to buy lower ohm coils than stock, or it will burn the new coils up.

Thanks!
 
Those black coils will work but most GSR members go with the green 3 ohm coils to go with their otherwise stock Suzuki electronic ignition.

Make sure you have good voltage feeding the coils - should be near battery voltage otherwise the coil relay mod is recommended. Also, when installing coils like that you need to use either resistor type wires or resistor caps (like stock) but not both.

Good luck

OK, well that's what I was asking it says to not use a different ohm rating than the stock coils.

I bought these wires; http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=209 , so I'm guessing I need to cancel the order and find some resistor wires.
 
A lower-resistance coil will let more current through it. The ignitor may be overloaded, trying to handle the extra current. Stick with the stock-ish 3 ohm coils.

The wires you chose are OK, as the stock wires are non-resistive. Just get the resistor-type NGK plug caps.
