    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.

So I had the time today to do the coil relay modification. Once I unwrapped the wire harness and found the coil leads it was fairly straightforward. It takes abit of time to make the leads and ends but once sorted it goes easily enough. The only comment I would make in reference to the tutorials is that the tie in for the coil leads (orange and white) is about 7 inches back ( to the rear) from the branch going to the coils.
The tutorials mention it is only a couple of inches.

The modification works like a charm. In -7 degrees Celsius today the bike fired on the first push of the button. It had been sitting for over a month.

It was too late to try the bike on a ride but tomorrow is going to be clear and sunny and as it is my birthday I'm going for a ride.

Cheers all,
Spyug.
 
One big reason for the voltage drop is the ign switch, gets corroded over the years

There seems to be some variation from year to year as the 82-83 GS1100's at least tie together a (coil +, ignition wire and power to the ECU).

This coil mod is going to one of the next items on my agenda as well.

Me too. I need to find a block that I can plug three relays into. One for the headlight, one for coils, and one for a louder horn I want to hook up. That and a nice fuse block to replace the stocker that's on its last legs.
