    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Are they machine specific or universal? Is there good ones? Bad ones? Wrong ones? I can't figure it out.

Machine specific and for some models there are two different brand ignition systems, you need to get the right points for the one you have.
 
You looking for tips on how to buy a bike?

As in "what's the difference between buying points and selling points"?

Not sure I am understanding your question. :-k

Ignition points, Steve. You know, little electrical switches that trigger sparks.
 
OK, it was just one of those non-descript titles that would work so well in a title search. :-\\\

The word "ignition" was never mentioned.

A few here, I got OEM ones from E-bay, saved a little dough. Whenever I replace the points, I replace the condensers (capacitors) also.

If you want to buy from a Suzuki dealer you can go here.
This is Boulevard Suzuki, they're probably the cheapest Suzuki parts dealer. Z1 might have 'em cheaper. But at Boulevard Suzuki right and left points and two capacitors will cost you $79.77 excluding shipping (I think shipping is free for the time being, but you might want to check that).

Thank you, Tkent and Sedelen. Steve, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it ambiguous.

No problem, hope we both learned something out of this.

I need to widen my view to see what all might be included in the brief title.

You might need to learn to write better titles.

There is a constant running theme here, "do a search".
Sometimes it is more detailed, "do a search, switch to 'titles only' ".
Doing a search for "ignition points" would not have found your thread.
