Does anybody know if an igniter from an 1980 GS850 is compatible with an 82 GS650? I know they have 2 different model numbers, but im just curious to see if anyone has done this swap before.

Did you get a replacement ignition coil ? The ignitor and signal coil setup on gs650E is different from what's on gs650GL (for some unknown reason)- I don't know about the 1980 gs850, but you got to pair these things correctly to get ignitor to fire.1981 gs650L

I did get a replacement coil, however, It looks like the original coil may have been Ok after all. So if I use the original coil for the "E" your saying I cant use an igniter from a GL. Why oh why would suzuki do such a thing, those crazy bastards.Comment

No personal experience but my guess is the ignitors will interchange after you figure out how to make all the connections. The signal generators are just magnetic triggers which send a signal to the ignitor, so I doubt those are ignitor specific. The coils should interchange as well. I'd try the ignitor assuming it's not overly expensive, otherwise you may as well get a Dyna S and call it done.Ed
To measure is to know.

Since Ive been dealing with this Ive read a few things about the Dyna S. Does it replace the coils and igniter? Could you just briefly explain.Comment

It replaces the signal coils and the ignitor- it uses the existing ignition coils (unless you get dyna ones also).Originally posted by Chris P View Post1981 gs650L
