81 GS 450 question

[earlfor]

In looking online, it appears Dyna does not make an ignition to fit the 450. Anyone modified an "S" type to fit this bike?

I don't know of any modification, but Dyna does list a model DS3-3C ignition system for a Suzuki GS 400 Twin w/ Coils at Dyna S Ignition System. I have no firsthand knowledge of the differences between the two-cylinder 400 and 450 engines other than reading specs such as Suzuki GS450E/GS450S specifications and Suzuki GSX400.

If you haven't already done so or already know it won't work, it might be worth checking with Dyna to see if their GS400 unit can be fitted to a GS450.

Thanks, I had missed that application in my searching. I doubt there is any difference between the ignitions on a 400 and 450.

You're welcome.

I thought that the application might be the same, since the main difference in the engines seems to be the larger bore in the GS450.

I know this post is really old, but I have a 1982 GS450, the igniter is shot and rather then spending the big bucks for a new one I would like to put on the Dyna system. So my question is, does anyone know if the DS3-3C will work. Earlfor did you order it and did it work? Thanks!!
