    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.

Ignition problems. Switch to Dyna S?

Hi. I have a 1981 GS1000G with the stock electronic ignition system. After a significant loss of power, I discovered #2 & 3 plugs weren't firing. I tested the coils and they seem okay, which I guess leaves the ignitor? I have a Clymer manual, but it's not very thorough on the electronic ignition systems. In looking at old posts in this forum, I see a lot of guys have switched to the Dyna S system. If I install a Dyna, will it bypass my existing ignitor? or should I be looking at a different solution? Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
 
I went through all the steps and determined it was indeed the ignitor. Fortunately, I found a decent one on Ebay for only 30 bucks and she's running like new again. After pulling out the old ignitor, I popped the cover off and it was clearly burned out. One whole section of it was covered with some kind of white, crusty corrosion. Thanks for the help.
