I did a quick search and didn't find all information I was looking for so I figure I will ask. Recently I ran into some coil troubles I decided to go aftermarket and tried to use a dual tower 12v coil. From my research it seems with my bike initially running single coils this is a no go. So...

So I had some electrical trouble with my 79 gs425. My question is has anyone used an accel aftermarket coil set up for non cdi? I would love to stay original but price wise I just cant ( a new one from bike bandit is about 230 bucks) the 2 cylinder accel aftermarket is about 110. Any opinions on...

Yeah if this thing could be titled I have a billion ideas for it but unfortunately it can't be well at least for 7 more years in Alabama 79 GS425 86 VT500C

I'm getting ready to build a bracket racer and I figure I would document the journey. Starting off with a VT500C I picked up for 100 bucks. It's not much to look at but I guess in dragracing less is more right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright so I am having issues getting a vt500c running properly. This thing will idle until it runs out of gas, but when you take it down the road it will bog down at about 3500. I can hear it missing on one side of the exhaust it's a v but has 4 cylinders. I thought it was bunked up carps so I...

How do I get in on this? I have seen about it on here. I've been out to Vintagefest the last couple of years.

Bama riders? Tell me more about this. I'm curious.

Bama riders? Yes sir this will be my third year. I can't wait

Electrical nightmare Yes. The way that ground is set up it uses one leg to hop to another part of the bike that I didn't realize. Once I realized what I had done it was a oh dub moment.

Bama riders? About 45 mins nw of Birmingham in a lovely town called Carbon Hill

Suzuki GS 550 Are those Cone exhaust?

Anyone out there in central Alabama?

Electrical nightmare Thanks for the help everyone she fired right up after 3 kicks.

Electrical nightmare Is there any way to check a ground other than continuity?

Alright so I planned on doing some major renovations to my 79 gs425 this winter. Now that I am in the process of putting it back together I have run into some issues. I put the wiring harness back in today (just as it came out) and I can't get any lights. I can get voltage at all my connectors...

Nice! I have a 79 Gs425. What do you plan on doing with it? Have fun with your build!

Sounds like your yellow red just engages the starter. So in theory you should be able to connect the black b/w and touch the red/yel together until it cranks and then release ( so you dont burn the starter up)Note: I did not look at the wiring diagram and am going on the presumption you did and...

From what I have read the major difference is how they hold lubrication. So you dirt biking friend may love them because they keep the dirt from wearing the chain. Me personally I don't have a preference but you pay for what you get.

I just stepped on mine and it broke the bead. But mine was also tubeless but you shouldn't be d the spokes as long as you stay on the tire. Good luck

I highly recommend it! Last year they had a VIP set up called "Ace Corner" in honor of the Ace Café in London. I recommend if they have that get the passes and go ahead and try to stay the three days. There is so much to do one day just wont do it. I can't wait until this year. The swap meet was...
