    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.

well i'm forced to ask you guys again haha cause dennis kirk site really doesn't like gs's :x
i have 84 gs750es and thinking about hot coils,but am i going to need a new different cdi or old one be ok?
i want a nice spark!!!! have lots of fuel coming into there hahaaahaha
 
Dyna coils work fine with the OEM ign. When you start getting into the GSX I have heard the Nology (sp) coils fit better. If you just want some fresh coils check ebay for some later model coils
Regardless you need 3 ohm coils
 
Also, the CDI ignitions use the lower resistance coils. But, unless I'm mistaken, I don't think that the '84 GS came with a CDI - just a regular electronic ignition.

The reason I mention this is if you get coils for a CDI system and yours is regular electronic you'll fry your ignitor..
 
Correct on both counts Jeff. I have said this many times before and some still insist on calling the ignition system CDI. Once again, NO, NONE, NADA, GS motorcycles of any model or size were EVER manufactured with a CDI ignition system. The all have electronic ignition systems or points ignition systems. All GS electronic ignitions require a 3 ohm coil. Points ignition systems can use either a 3 or 5 ohm coil.
