    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.

hey everyone sorry for the dumb question but i just bought a 1980 gs550L not running and the previous owner told me the igniter was the issue and i believe him because i tested the coils and the electronic advance and they both seem to be good. so in my search for an igniter is where I'm getting confused because i can only find a couple old ones on eBay for $200. if i buy the DYNATEK DYNA S will that by pass the igniter and fix my problem or will i still have a bike with no spark?
 
THe dynaS eliminates the stock ignitor and signal coils....so if the ignitor is the issue, go for the dyna.
lots of 550 ignitors have failed, so avoid buying a used eBay unless you feel lucky.
 
Awesome! Thank you for the reply I will probably order one today
