    Electronic ignition?

    So i was curious as to how i could improve upon my electrical system in any way for better performance

    The stock system is hard to beat if it's working properly. One thing that's worth checking is voltage at the coils; if less than 10.5 volts do the relay mod. Other than that, I'd leave everything stock.

      I am having coil malfunctions and have lookd into the dyna coils dc1-1 which can be found on Z1.

      when my bike gets too hot it idles really low and starts to die which i have figured to be something electrical. I was downshifting into a parking lot and myt bike just cut off on me..

      I let it sit for 30 mins to an hour and its starts up with the touch of a finger

        Could be the coils. Before ordering though I'd check spark when the beast malfunctions. In case you don't know how: pull off one of the plug caps, stick in a good plug, lay the metal portion against your engine and hit the starter to spin the engine. If you see a spark, the ignition is not the problem. The symptoms you describe could also be caused by a petcock problem and/or tank venting issue resulting in fuel starvation. Best to do some homework before dropping a bunch of money on something you may not need.

        Good luck.

            Electronic ignotion doesn't give better than correctly set stock but it takes less maintenance. When it goes you are stick where you are.

                Slot the mounting holes? Add timing?

                          the ignition plate/if you increase the amount of slot and advance the timing....more power/cost nothing but a little time.
                          suzuki or no other company put's max timing in there bikes when new.
                          all imports have to be EPA legal to get into the states and this would effect that as would richer carb settings/more flow exhaust ect..
                          well sound limits also are effected.

                            This is exactly the same thing that is happening to me. Have you tracked down your ghost yet?

                              I have been sitting here for a while reading on his website about everyhing I am going to be doing to my bike over the next year, but as hard as I might look I couldn't find the mod you mention. Could someone do me a huge favour and throw me a direct link to it?

                              Cheers
