    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    I was able to get the replacement for the Dyna Style ignition in time for last weekend, so it's in now and I've been commuting on it every day this week again. Yay! I did have an issue with timing where it seemed I needed to fully retard the plate and modules when following the Dyna static...

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Well as my run of luck seems to go at the moment, I got the new Dyna Style ignition yesterday, swapped them over to the Dynatek plate, and no spark from the left module. Checked with a multimeter and it gets a dead short to ground. The right module works just fine and dandy. I'll give him a call...

    Rear disc rotor 1980 GS850G

    Cool, I get all my brake gear from them and some sprockets/chains as well. I haven't had to get a rotor swap done like that myself but have had good results with everything else. I've been running their discs and pads on the 450 and pads on the Kat for years (it still has original discs).

    Ah there's another familiar name from last time! Cheers, glad to be back and yep neither bikes are going anywhere any time soon (except wherever I ride them of course :cool:).

    Rear disc rotor 1980 GS850G

    Have you tried Metalgear at all? The same situation exists for the Katanas and I'm pretty sure they offer a service to swap the internal part to a new rotor. Not sure if they only do that for their own rotors or not but might be worth a try? This is their 850G listing.

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    The online store I get all my Cometic gaskets from confirmed the "Dyna Style" Chinese modules will swap straight over to the genuine Dyna S plate I have for the 450, so I've ordered one of those. Just gotta wait for it to be posted then hopefully I'll be back up and running again!

    GS500 electronic ignition into GS400/425?

    Oh that's very cool, well done!

    GS500 electronic ignition into GS400/425?

    Thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately, I cannot find anything here pre-2008 so am looking to go down the Chynatek Dyna knock off path. From my research, it should be possible to use the setup from the later GS500s, but the ECU on those has a throttle position sensor amongst other things...

    1981 GSX1100 Katana Based Project

    Nice one Glen, looking forward to seeing it back in action! Yes, it is amazing what new seals and gaskets can do, did the same with the 450's valve cover gasket the other week during the service and it's amazingly dry now.

    1981 GSX1100 Katana Based Project

    I wondered how this was all going Glen! Just joined back up on here again. Looks like the shed pics on the previous page were at Derek's place? Looking good, be good to see it back out again soon too! I assume all the oil consumption issues are now solved?

    Another name I remember, good to see you still here too! Kat's going well, currently on commuter duties until I sort the 450 out but it does make for a fun commute :cool:

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Actually I have found a bunch of the Chinese ones on AliExpress now, starting at less than $AU40! Would just like to know if I can swap the modules over to the GS450 Dyna plate though, because that way I know everything's aligned correctly to start with the timing close. I've read a few posts...

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Well no luck I'm afraid! On the plus side, I know my ignitor is now dead. Both coils are fine, signal generator is fine, ignitor is getting 12V and is grounded, so the only possible situation is that it has failed. I don't know any way to test the ignitor itself, and given these are potted...

    Cheers Dan! You were actually in my mind the other week too... front brake parts on the 450 are now NLA and mine's gotten a little grabby so have been thinking about the good ol' Salty Monk upgrade again.

    Glad you find this one interesting :D Nessism is still around too and helping on my ignition thread, so good to see these folk still around!

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Yep I like the price for sure! I can't find any of the China knock off ones on eBay or anything here, but the guy I buy my Cometic stuff off for the Kat sells them and has the Honda versions for $AU130 which is pretty good, so worst case I can get one of those and mount it to the Dyna plate I...

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Well in a pleasant surprise this morning I discovered I had not thrown out the old Dyna S modules! I have two, both of which I believe have one failed module each. This means I have the correct plate for the 450 along with an incorrect one (I didn't need the full DS3-3C kit second time around)...

    1982 GS450 - No Spark

    Unfortunately the 450 ignitor is potted, so not so easy to repair! I attempted to get into the original when it failed during the rebuild but it ended up destroyed. Most likely it was bad technique on my part. Hopefully you'll get something useful out of this all the same. Glad to see you're...

    I'll confess I've completely forgotten your first name but I most definitely remember cowboyup, glad to see you're still here too! Aside from the 450's spark issues all good down this way thanks and hope the same for you as well! From memory last time I was on your daughter was learning to ride...
