1983 gs 550 ignition issues.

[ezra]

Bought bike used last year, have put at least 7000 miles on bike (28,000 total). Bike has cut out briefly in the past, but has started to cut out consistently recently.Runs good for 15 minutes then cuts out. Lights, turn signals and starter work fine. After sitting for awhile bike will restart temporarily before cutting out again abrubtly. Have read old threads, sounds like signal generator. Are there any aftermarket parts available for the 83 gs 550. Dyna seems to only make parts for earlier 550's and 1100 83's. Thanks .

I have a signal generator and a CDI if you want them. 20$ each. They work fine.

Are you sure ti's the signal generator? The signal generator is very heat insensitive. however the ignition box is fairly heat sensitive. Do you just stop getting spark?

I would check the stator/regulator using a voltmeter. Also try a new battery.
