    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.

Can you help me identify this part?

It is a black box, 5 1/2 inches long, 4 inches wide, 1 1/8 inch thick. There are mounting tabs on the long sides, 8 wires come out one end, going to two connectors, each with four terminals. One connector is black, the other is red, other than that, they look the same. (If this description is not enough, I can send pictures.)

The label has a Suzuki part number 32900-49410, and a NiponDenso part number 131100-3180. Additional markings show it is for a 12-volt system.

This was presented to me as "the brain box for an 850", but there is no such animal on my '82 850 GL, or my '82 650 GL.

I would like to offer it as a prize for whoever can correctly identify it, but I won't let it go quite that cheaply. :)

If someone needs it, let me know.
 
It's an igniter unit for the ignition system on your 1982 850. Go to an online parts fiche & look at the "signal generator" heading for your bike. It's still available, but very expensive. If it checks out ok, you might want to keep it as a spare.

That might be why I ended up with this thing in the first place, but there is NOTHING like it on the bike! I just replaced the ignitor to get it running on all four cylinders. The troubleshooting process involved tracing and testing everything from the pickup coils on the right side of the crank to the spark plugs, and there is nothing that looks like this box on the bike.

Might it be for an 850G and not for a GL?
 
I just spent some time at BikeBandit.com. Found that the 82G, 83G, 83GL all have an igniter that looks like what I have sitting on the bench. The picture and part number for the 82GL is different from those three, AND it does not even look close to what is on the bike.

Bottom line...it does not fit on my 850 or my 650, and is therefore extra. Anybody else need it?
 
It's the ignitor unit for my GS1100GL as well. I might be interested in seeing if it can improve my bike's spark, which is okay but not great.

If you have a completely different unit in the bike than what's shown on the parts diagrams, I'd be curious to know who made it... are there markings on your new one?
