Coil relay mod question

[Guest]

I'm getting up the nerve to do the coil relay mod to my 1980 GS750E. I've read too many versions of the mod, what with the points version, the electronic version, on many various Suzuki models.

My specific question is - when I open the harness to snip the orange/w wire, do I want to keep the ignitor unit on the original circuit or switch it over so that it gets its power via the relay circuit?

I'm only guessing that the ignitor unit doesn't draw much current so it may just be a mute point, but I thought I should ask the knowledgeble.

(I'm trying to keep the coils intact so that if they ever have to be replaced, stock coils can still be plugged into the original harness plug.)

Yes there are lots of version and yes your ignitor still needs power. I refer to this most times as an ignition relay mod and power the entire ignition circuit from the relay.
You generally don't need to open the harness and run new wires. Once you have power to the circuit there are no further connection to worry about. that is why i simPly snip the O/W at the headlamp bucket and power the relay at the ignitor connector. If you eliminate the headlamp loop in your r/r install then
there are even two spare wires one of which you can use to control the relay from the kill switch. This is assuming you locate the ray near the battery rather than close to the coils.
