    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...

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.

I have been looking at after market coils and they all ask about ohms and cdi/non cdi. I have a 1980 gs750e and am not sure what Iam looking for as far as what ohms or if its cdi or not.
 
The Suzuki service manuals have information on what ohm range your coils need to be. Basscliff hostes the manuals. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

Your bike has an electronic ignition...although it's not a CDI type. Most people running aftermarket coils use the green Dyna coils.

Good luck.
 
stock coils are about 5 ohm

your bike will love the 3 ohm "green coils"

T.P.I is what you have. it is a D.C. system collapsing field wind in the coils
CDI is also called a magneto it is a AC system. rising field type of coil.

the lower the primary resistance equals the quicker saturation time = higher revs without misfire == which in normal talk is 5 ohm will rev to 9000 rpm 3 ohm 11,000 rpm,
 
what is the differance between the dyna s and the dyna 4000 ignitinons(crank trigger)Ive been looking at some and it appers that the dyna s will work in my 80 gs750 not sure about the dyna 4000 seeing that they are about the same price I was wondering if one is better and if both will work in my bike. I have the 3 ohm green dyna coils if that makes a differance. Thanks for the help
