Hello,
I am wondering if anyone know of a source or has any experience with an electronic ignition upgrade to replace the points (contact breaker) & condesner in a gs425? Does Boyer make a kit, does anyone know thier web site address?

I have installed my GS425 engine in my Sport ATV and am getting ready to rune it for as much power as I can get out of her.
Here is pictures of the project

Re: GS425 Electronic Ignition Upgrade Questions

A conversion from points to electronic ignition will not increase power. It will decrease maintenance. If your only reason for the change is to increase HP, dont waste your money.

I wanted the elctronic Ignition mainly due to less maint. I understand I will not get any more power from the engine with an electronic breaker system.
 
Check into the newer GS500E, I believe it has flat slides and electronic ignition. The engine is pretty much a 425 with a different valve cover. The 1982 GS400EZ does not have mechanical advance and I have heard of people switching them to a dyna and mechanical advance.

I got a Electronic Ignition kit from Newtronic Systems LTD, for my GS425. It is a really nice kit and I am going to write a full review of it for my website. It is a plug in unit that works with the factory ignition coils. Very nice setup including evertthing that you need to install.

Here is a link to Newtronic Systems LTD:

With their SU-3 Contactless Ignition Kit i will never mess with the points again.

Just what the doctor ordered!
