    5.000rpm break up?

    Hello, I have A 1981 GS550T 9.000miles, StageIII.K&Ncones.carbs rebuilt&cleaned. I started having a problem above 5grand, acts like i hit rev limiter .resynched carbs no better then i did coil relay mod. new wires&boots.needle 4th from top.155mains middle 2 . 150m outer 2 cyl. plugs look slight lean. wires and boots improved throttle. as did relay mod. but still breaks up any gear. W-O-T pulls untill exactly 5grand. Did relay mod , had 9.8v both coils. runs great other wise. bowls are full fuel. new petcock. this did not do it last year when i did dynojet/pods. or didit happen when i first took out, this spring. I AM NUTS,tank like new inside,plenty of power to batt,.also 4in 1 MAC pipe steel baffle. put onlast year also. thanks for your time. any ideas welcome! SAN

        I had same thing on my 801000G. That's prob the reference Chef is making as he rode it & did some diagnosis on it too.....

        I switched out the ignitor for a Dyna S. I also had a coil going bad. I tested the ignitor using the manual tests & it failed.....

        Dyna S is $120 from Z1. You have the mechanical advance like me I believe so it's pretty much a doddle to fit.

          Great looking T.

          Dyna S for ND ignition is the one to get.

              Involved putting a 1.5V battery across a couple of the contacts from memory.... Should be in the Clymer manual, that's where I got it from.

                5.000rpm breaks up

                Well the one good thing is the coil mod has made a big inprovement, to the overall running of bike(exept my up rpm prob) never started better idles smoooth. Also looking at my igniter its not ND. Kokusan denki BB1204 12V, i now 2 types were used Nippon&Koku . Is one better than other, not that it really matters now.Thanks for your help. SAN
