No Spark??
Having nearly completed my GS1100G, from a pile of parts to a Motorcyle, I now find I,m missing sparks on cyl- 2/3. I have done the following but still no luck. Swapped over coils + leads caps from 1/4 ( which sparks great and fires up ) No that.Checked p/up resistance 160ohms each, not that,cleaned/tested alll block connecter terminals in a out of IC box, not that,I am also getting power to both coils, Did get a spark on both coils last week...but whats changed? Hope its not the IC box, its the old tin box type. Have a Factory manual, but they are only as " refreshers " for deallers and dont really go into the real world of might and can happen. Any suggestions please??? Thanks Chopz54Tags: None

WHen troubleshooting ignition problems; Dont overlook the spark plug caps.
They do deteriate over time, have a resistor material in them that degrades over time and usage. Are about $5 each for NKG aftermartket. Twist/screw them off. Can test them with an ohm meter. 5000 ohms (5K) I think. They go to way high reistance near infinity (open) when they fail.
.
Had 850G for 14 years. Now have GK since 2005.
GK at IndyMotoGP Suzuki Display... ... GK on GSResources Page ... ... Euro Trash Ego Machine .. ..3 mo'cykls.... update 2 mocykl

Cdi
You are correct guy, 82 and up are different, 850 and up are the same unit. Got very lucky and found a cdi last month for my 82 850 for $50 here in the states. Timing is everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in 82 however the ignition advance was changed from mech to elec so theres two extra wires comming into the igniter box
orange-white ( coil - cut out switch ) white ( coil ) black-yellow ( coil ).
the problem being with that black-yellow wire.
