igniter

[Anonymous]

someone please enlighten me....a friend much more mechanical savvy than me with a shop manual has informed me the igniter box is kaput....1980 gs1000g. are there any affordable options???? bike bandit for example is $374.30............ouch

you should be testing things like that yourself. Somtimes just dirty connections will make the box look bad. Get a decent VOM and the gang will help you to learn to use it. I would be curious to know what test your friend did that condemned the box.
Il bet you can get a high performance one for less that that $$$ amount. Earl did that job a few months back and got off fairly reasonably..
But darn someone elses test without having checked all the connections would scare me. The ignitor box is no great mystery as far as doing a test goes. Buy a shope manual-- a clymers at least

I got a used igniter on Ebay for my GS450 for $20.

update...lowest price on a dyna s was $153.00....just before i was ready to phone in the order i tried one last salvage yard...i wasn't as lucky as the ebay find but the yard said he might have the igniter box for $50.00....he just matched the part #s and plastic connections in addition said it was the last one he had. what is the possiblity i will have no more problems? ha is there a fortune teller that can see the dyna s in my near future?
