Has anyone used these CDI boxes and do they help with fixing the electrical charging problems that our bikes so sadly are plagued with? Im replacing most of the electrical system and I think after reading the Stator papers I dont really want to mess with stock stuff if it will fail anyway! any incite on electrical components that should be replaced and what to replace them with would be greatly appreciated? I.E. R/R CDI Stator coils etc?!?!?
 
I wouldn't buy from any company what doesn't know what a CDI is.

confused? what do you mean?

What we all mean is that the Suzuki GS series never had "CDI" ignition, so there is no way to have what they call "a direct plug in replacement for the original manufacturers (OEM) CDI unit".

They also state that it offers better performance "due to a more efficient timing curve", meaning that it can only be used on the newer bikes ('82 and up) that have the timing advance in the ignitor, not a mechanical advance on the crank.

If they want to advertise it as a replacement for the stock "ignitor", fine, but they advertise it as a replacement for a "CDI", which makes us wonder. :-\\\

Sorry, caferacer, CDI is totally different from the electronic ignition (igniter) system that our bikes use. However, we do get newbies on here that try to call it a CDI, so we should have been a bit gentler in our explanations. That company, however, should know the difference, which makes us wonder if the system will actually work at all.
 
So then what use is this product?? What is a good upgrade instead then?
 
gs750, that site is really difficult to navigate; it is poorly designed and poorly implemented.
If you will tell us the year of your 750 we could provide additional assistance.

There is actually a very good chance that it is a decent product. It's just the way it is advertised that makes us a bit leery.

As koolaid_kid asked, though, what year is your 750? Different years can befefit from different solutions.

I have a 1980 750LT, I have to re do all my wiring due to moving all the electrical stuff to the rear under a seat cone.. While doing this I wish to upgrade all my electrical (especially the necessary bits of the charging system) but also the ignition stuff. I came across that TCI and thought maybe it was something you guys have heard of... Its good for me since its made here in New Zealand and the shipping is cheaper.. so far everything I buy is double price due to shipping! I admit knowing absolutely nothing about the electrical system beyond replacing stock with stock... Thanks for all the help
 
With your '80, it will not work. Their application chart says it's for '82 and up.

Up through '81 (and possibly some of the early '82s), the ignition advance was a set of weights and springs on the end of the crank. Starting in '82, they got rid of the mechanical system and put the advance into the ignitor. The unit you saw advertised has the built-in advance.

I don't know for sure whether you can remove your mechanical advance and run the new unit, but it's for sure that you don't want to have both.

I don't think that is possible, Steve. Dyna makes the correct solution for you.
 
Only just noticed this thread, sorry. The OP is local to me and if he wants to give me a call just ring 03 318 0013.

I look after a GS1000 running in post classic racing locally and several other GS's too.

And yes, I have experience with several types of Dyna ignition.
 
The stock electronic ignition is high quality. There is no reason to replace it unless it doesn't work any longer. If it has failed, just replace the ignitor and all will be well again. Used ignitors can be had for $40 USD. If you need one let me know as I have a spare, and I'm sure others around here have spares as well. Postage for something that small is only $17 USD. Cheap.
 
This is a good product. Plug and play. Better spark and ignition curve. Based on 15534kms test drive on a 84 1150.

Most igniters will fit in a flat rate small box and ship anywhere in the US for $5.15, for $17, I've shipped 50lbs worth of parts in a large flat rate box with a max of 70lbs

$17 was a small flat box shipped international.
