Best ignition system?

Hi again folks.

My 78 GS750E rebuild is almost finished. It currently has the original points ignition system, and mechanical advance unit.

I managed to make some savings on the rebuild budget, and i have decided to splash out on electronic ignition now, instead of later as i had intended.

I would appreciate your experiences and recomendations please.

Is there anything to be gained from `A' particular system on these bikes? For example, is it worthwhile going for a system with an `adjustable' electronic advance?

How about the `optical' trigger type like the Newtronic? http://www.motorcycle-ignition.com/motorcycle_ei_kit.htm

Thanks in advance.

I've had good luck with the Dyna "S" ignition on my '79 GS1000E.
Easy to install and set. Reliable. It uses the stock mechanical advancer. I also bought Dyna coils (3 ohm, green) to go with it.
 
My 79GS850 has points. I have added dyna coils & plug wires. I still have the points- been working fine for the last 14K miles. Oh I also have a dyna Ign in my spare parts that I bought a year ago
 
Thank for the replies.

I will probably go for tha Dyna `S', with coils.

Thanks again.

I used Newtronic on my 750 - works a treat! And excellent after-sales service too!
 
I have what you need. dynas ds3-2 motorcycle ignition. This is a couple months old and came off a running gs1100. This will fit 1977-81 Suzuki, 550/750/850/1000/1100 four cylinder and 1982-83 Suzuki, 1000, 1100. I would take $80 plus shipping. Might save you some cash.

Thanks Ryan, but i got a Dyna 2 at the weekend from a breakers. It is labeled as from a GS 1000.

It fits OK, but i cannot fire the bike up yet as i am still waiting for the exhaust flanges to turn up.

Thanks anyway.
