    Best ignition system?

    Hi again folks.

    My 78 GS750E rebuild is almost finished. It currently has the original points ignition system, and mechanical advance unit.

    I managed to make some savings on the rebuild budget, and i have decided to splash out on electronic ignition now, instead of later as i had intended.

    I would appreciate your experiences and recomendations please.

    Is there anything to be gained from `A' particular system on these bikes? For example, is it worthwhile going for a system with an `adjustable' electronic advance?

    How about the `optical' trigger type like the Newtronic? http://www.motorcycle-ignition.com/m...cle_ei_kit.htm

    Thanks in advance.

    Footy.

      I've had good luck with the Dyna "S" ignition on my '79 GS1000E.
      Easy to install and set. Reliable. It uses the stock mechanical advancer. I also bought Dyna coils (3 ohm, green) to go with it.
      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

              My 79GS850 has points. I have added dyna coils & plug wires. I still have the points- been working fine for the last 14K miles. Oh I also have a dyna Ign in my spare parts that I bought a year ago

                  Thank for the replies.

                  I will probably go for tha Dyna `S', with coils.

                  Thanks again.

                      I used Newtronic on my 750 - works a treat! And excellent after-sales service too!

                          I have what you need. dynas ds3-2 motorcycle ignition. This is a couple months old and came off a running gs1100. This will fit 1977-81 Suzuki, 550/750/850/1000/1100 four cylinder and 1982-83 Suzuki, 1000, 1100. I would take $80 plus shipping. Might save you some cash.

                              Thanks Ryan, but i got a Dyna 2 at the weekend from a breakers. It is labeled as from a GS 1000.

                              It fits OK, but i cannot fire the bike up yet as i am still waiting for the exhaust flanges to turn up.

                              Thanks anyway.

                                  It will go on ebay shortly. I have no use for it.
