    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.

Get a schematic and some spare time. Methodically check everything. There probably is not be a single issue that needs to be addressed, so check everything and make a list before you start making changes. While you're at it, clean and protect your connectors, fuse panel and grounds. Fix everything. When you are done, you'll have reliable working electrics and the huge bonus of understanding that part of the bike. You said there was a small fire, so everything is suspect. Any advice I could give here for a single thing to check would just be the beginning of a frustrating wild goose chase. Bite the bullet and do the project. Fix it all. If not, it'll wind up rotting in your garage or at best get sold for a song to someone willing to take the time.
 
One other thing that will help is to just start ONE thread on this topic. You started two of them about 10 minutes apart.

.
 
Thank you for that link :-) and sorry i didnt mean to start two threads .... today i went to a used bike store and bought a ingition module thing its for same year but a gsxr 600 mines a gs550 will this work i havent tried it yet ??? thank you for your help
 
Oh and i ment to say the four wires that are going to the coils sorry and thank your for your time guys
 
Be cautious mixing ignitors ( ignition module thing)from different model suzukis- often slight differences. Best to test your original setup and determine which part is bad. Avoid buying stuff till you know!
 
ya i think im giving up on it from what people are telling me the ignitor module is way to hard to find and there like five hundred bucks or close to any one want a parts bike cheap ?
 
Forgive me for saying this, but are you really going to give up that easy? I'm sure there are more questions you have before giving up.

Help us out here. I found an archived post here: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/archive/index.php/t-209521.html

There was another person who thought they had a bad ignitor, and it turned out to be bad O-rings. That is a simple fix.

Did you get a chance to go through the wiring harness with a schematic? Is there any way you could post a picture of the worst areas of the wiring? Don't give up on these bikes, that's when the morons rip the engines out and stuff them in gokarts and dwarf cars.... I sure as hell don't want to see any more of those.
 
i tried again and this time i no the ignition module is screwed it was smoking yay but i just got a msg back and gonna go look at a gs550es 1983 tomorrow hope i get it :)
