GS1000 with GSX1100 Kat ignition

[Nickel]

Hi everybody,

 

I'm actual on a RAU trickframe with an GS1000 engine.

Would like to kick out he mechanical ignition pick up.

I heard about the possibility to use the ignition pick up and ecu module from a later gsx1100 (e.g. katana)

Did anybody done this conversion?

I wonder if the ignition timing is the same.

Maybe somebody in here has some experience with that.

 

Thanks in advance

The early GSX1100's inc Katana's still had mechanical advancers so only benefit is loosing the points! Later EFE / GS1150's had all electronic ign but the timing curve (which is effectively fixed) from a 4V 1100 will not suit a 1000 2V. Many bikes out there using a Dyna S with mechanical advancer!

Yes, I know. The rotor is still mechanical, because if the integrated advancer, but the pick up plate is like the later ones.

Think I'll try the ignition System from the Katana.  

Hope it will work.

I have used a gsx750et atu pickup and black box (CDI) on my GS1000 with no problems.

I fitted a GSX1100 ignition om my GS1000S a few tears ago, only thing was that the rotor was a bit too tall (quick bit of grinding and it was fixed)  besides that no problem.

Thanks for your answers.

I ordered a complete ignition from a kat yesterday.
