    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.

CDI help

This may be a stupid question, but I'll go ahead and ask it. I recently pruchased an "as-is" 1981 GS450T bike on e-bay. It was my understanding that everything was with bike, it just needed some work. However, upon closer inspection, I believe I am missing the CDI box. Is it supposed to hook into a 6 position connector near the air intake? If so, then I am definitely missing the CDI box, and where can I get one reasonably priced? How much do they normally go for?

Thanks for your help

Re: CDI help

There is no CDI box because no Suzuki GS model of any size or any year
had a CDI ignition system. The ignition is electronic. The ignitor is usually located under the right side cover, next to the battery holder.

Sorry about calling it a CDI, when yes it is an electronic ignition. I am assuming that the electronic ignition is what hooks up to the 6 pin connector that currently has nothing attached to it.
 
Memory says the ignitor was a 6 pin, but I havent run a stock system in years. :-) If youre missing the ignitor, it is cheaper to replace the system with a Dyna S. That system does not use a box.
