    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.

Hi everyone. Bought new HT cable for my gs550. After taking off coils, i think ive destroyed the coil by trying to remove ht cable. Seems to be a sealed unit. Anyone know where i can buy a new set of coils for 1981 gs550

Thanks
 
Coils are still available from Suzuki - not cheap though... http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/suzuki-motorcycle-gs550lx-1981/o/m6085

Of course, there is always ebay or aftermarket. Z1 sells Dyna coils for a fair price http://z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=210

Before spending any money you should make sure your old coils are truely unusable. If there is still any HT cable remaining, you can add a splicer and connect a new piece of cable. You can also try to dig the old cable out - it can be done if you want to work hard enough at it http://www.xs11.com/tips/repair/repair24.shtml
 
If there is nothing wrong with your coils, why replace 'em?
You can dig out the wire and install new ones from the auto parts store.
Cheap fix.
 
if they are in fact damaged I can hook you up w/ used from a running bike - $25 shipped
