    newer model gixxer coils for an 82 GS1100GK... Doable?

    Hey guys, just a question on if anyone has any experience on using late model gixxer coils or other newer make coils on their bikes to bring them back to life instead of buying new coils for $90/ea? Ive seen some 02 gixxer coils and the like on ebay for $30-$50/set instead of the full price (ie$90/each coil) otherwise. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

    Katana, Bandit, and GSXR coils will do quite fine, it's what I use after having a Dyna go bad on me in less than a year. Since about 2000 the GSXRs have come with individual coils built into the plug caps, they won't do.

      yes this i know. as i had grinned at the thought of being the only S.O.B. with coil packs on an 84 GS1100 LMFAO!. but ive seen the dual coils for the later model gixxers and other makes on ebay in real nice shape for a helluvah lot cheaper then factory replacements. wondering if anyone else had tried it with any luck..

      WTF are you thinking?! -0

      anyone else chiming in?

      also, what mods do you have to make for them? any? just new caps? resistor caps? factory replacement caps? improvised flux capacitor?

        If they are new enough none of the above, just bolt them on, hook up the wires, and ride.

          well seeing as the factory plug boots/caps/whatever are old and flakey like grammas home style bisquits, i figured id replace them. but i know nothing about them, so what type woulf i need? just regular, down home factory replacements? the reason i ask is bc ive heard that i might need "NGK resistor" type caps. forgive my noobitism.. lol

            You want 5k ohm resistor caps. Z1 has them at a good price. http://www.z1enterprises.com/

              What is the resistance of those GSXR coils? The stock GS electronic ignition requires 3-5 ohm coils but I thought some of those late model coils are in the 2 ohm range?

              To measure is to know.

                I really haven't looked into that in years, haven't had the need. The biggest change I know of is the individual coil packs on each plug.
