    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...

GS450 ignition problem

Hi, I'm from Finland and new here. Here in Finland we don't speak english everyday so my english is little bit rusted :D I'm sorry for my bad english :oops:
Well, i don't know how to explain my problem for you in english, but I'll try :D

I bought GS450 with ignition problems last spring. I didn't have time to fix it. Now I have some time to find spark :D

Previous owner said he had tested with all new ignition parts, but bike didn't work with those.
I checked all wires and some of those had burn on exhaust manifold. I fixed those wires and checked all wires allover and they are okay.
I have new ignitor, battery, sparkplugs and caps.
Battery is loaded and full. I measured voltage from ignition coil wire and it is little less than battery voltage. Pick-up coils give 2-9 volts.

It gave me few sparks once after I stopped pressing starter button. I yelled and danced, but when I tried again.. Yep, no sparks at all :mad:

I don't know what to do next, I hope you can help me :)

Hi Mr. Gs450amatuer,

No problem with your English. :D


There are ignition test procedures in the electrical section of my little website. Hopefully they will help you. In the meantime, here's some S.W.A.G. to make you feel welcome.

If you are here you probably have a 30 year old motorcycle that needs about 20 years worth of maintenance. You'll find all kinds of helpful tips, procedures, manuals, etc, in the links below. Let's get started.

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
