    82 gs550L points and condensers

    I have 82 gs550L. Looking for points and condensers for it. They are dual points and dual condensers. Went to suzuki dealer in cincy and he looked at me like I had two heads. I buy alot from Bikebandit and they don't even list a schematic on them. z1 has them but I don't know what type ignition it has. They have 6 to choose from. How do I tell what type ignition I have? Anywhere else I can buy this ignition kit?

    Unless you have an exotic setup, you don't need no stinking points and condensers ! your stock ignition system SHOULD consist of signal generator coils and an ignitor to fire the sparkplug ignition coils. Sit on bike, there's a liitle 4 inch diameter cover on crankcase just in front of your right foot- take it off and report on what you find.

      1982 GS550L points and condenser?

      Like tom203 said your 1982 should have (from the factory anyway) an electronic ignition. Are you looking to convert to an older style points system, and if so, why?

      I have recently bought a lot of OEM parts for my 1980 GS1000G from www.buymotorcycleparts.com It is related to Dillion Brothers Motorsports out of Omaha NE (www.dillioncycles.com) and they have come through on every rubber gromment and brake pad spring. I'd say worth checking out if you are looking for parts. I am in no way affiliated with them. I use bikebandit, Z1, denniskirk or anyone who claims to have it in stock.

      Anyway, they don't show a GS550L model for 1982, only a GS55M, which shows an electronic ignition. So pull the 4 inch side cover on the right hand side of the bike and share back what you have and what you are trying to do.

        Unless somebody replaced the motor (or just the crankcase) with a pre-80 model for the coveted (by some) kick starter...
