hello guys,
Does anyone knows the resistance of the sparkplug cap of GS550 '81 ?
NGK has 3 different value 1K,5K and 10K and i would like to
know if i can replace the original sparkplug cap with XD05F & VD05F which has 5K internal resistor.
i would appreciate if anyone measure the value of the spark plug cap .:)
 
I think that's what he's asking for.

I would guess 5K, but that's just a guess, haven't bought any for a while.

CAll Z-1 they have the right ones.
 
No, just call Z-1, they know that they are doing, and shipping is always super quick.

Ask for Jeff if you want, he's a member of this forum, but the other guys there know what they are doing too.
 
i don't know what you meant when you said "just call Z-1"
what is the Z-1 ?
 
does anyone knows, if there is a way to test an ignition coil ?


.
 
yes , i already read this document
I am looking something that simulate the "real life".


.
 
According to the GS1000 Manual :>)
Ignition coil resistance Primary should be 4 OHM
Ignition coil resistance Secondary is 4K
1K=1000 so that 4000 ohms

Farther into the manual the chart on page 11-2
Shows primary as 2-6 ohms
And secondary as 11-17K

With the coil disconnected from the bike
Measure from the two leads =X
Measure from each lead to the plug wire each =X and =X
Unless you have a HV Meter you can?t check the output it someplace between 4000-10000 Volts

Word of advice they either work or don?t
Easiest way is use a jumper cable and ground the spark plug where you can see it and watch the spark to see if it fires

With the gas off please and other spark plug wires removed
also dyna ignitions have different values from the suzuki stock coils
Safety 1st :>)
hope this helps
 
You want "real life"?

Hold on to the wire, crank the engine. If you get the snot shocked out of you, the coil is working. :eek:

I have a better idea Steve !
