I would not worry about the coil relay mod just yet.

My money would be on valve adjustment, so check that first. You will likely need a new valve cover gasket, as the old one will probably tear when you take it off. The only other expenditure would be shims, if you should need them. Z1 Enterprises has the best price on shims, at just under $5 each. Be sure to look at all your shim sizes and record them (I haven't seen an e-mail request from you yet). That way you can see if you can move some shims around to minimize buying new ones.

lots of good info,,unfortunately,, it has got worse,,i checked all the block connections, charged the battery, found some great info from website with wiredgeorge explaining all about coil relay mod,,looking good !, , turned the key to give 1 last shot before i commited to relay mod,,lo and behold,, nothing, zero, zip, zilch,,okay, i got a neutral light and oil light,,nothing else,,no horn, no lights, no starter,,whole day messing with electrix,,not a dime earned,,gave up,,looking to buy a gs750 on ebay to restore,unlikely prospect if i cant get a mint gs1100 to start,,, free english magazine with plenty classic suzuki stuff, katana rebuild ,,for boffin with answer,,it has got to be simple and happens on other gs's

dont give up. i almost did it with mine. check those valves as they are hard to start when cold with misadjusted shims.
