- Urban Monk details the wiring of the ignition coils on his 1978 Suzuki GS550 custom cafe racer build project. Wiring a vintage motorcycle seems daunting to many, but with a clear wiring diagram it is much simpler than you might think. Custom motorcycle builds require a little creativity to take what is given and adapt it to one's vision.

Truly amazing at showing and explaining properly for the guys like me just switching from riding to building a bike. An inspiration. Thank you so much for all your time and hard work. You are half the reason why I'm building my first cafe!
Thank you for watching and for those kind words. They are sincerely appreciated.
this is video set flipped switch in my head about why my bike is not starting!
Does anyone do a new wiring loom for the gs550 ? Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for watching. Not that I've come across. However, UJM bikes are pretty simple electrical systems and quite "standardized" (except for maybe wire color choices). A universal custom motorcycle wiring kit could work just fine in most cases. Like amzn.to/405lK0M
@@UrbanMonkTV Many thanks.
Good job. I hate electrics :D My baby was running quite bad. After too much trail and error, found out it was a bad coil. Curious about the first start :)
Oh yes. That first start will be a fun day for sure! Thanks for watching!
Hey I just wondered if you could add a link with the wiring diagram or maybe a picture if possible, love the vids and happy to see a beautiful bike build come along

Great video. I still have my old ones that worked about a years and a half ago but I got two new ignition coils for my 1983 GS1100G. How would one go about identifying left from right ignition coils?
Thanks! Really doesn't matter. Just need to follow wiring diagram to determine which hot wire pulses 1&4 coil and which pulses 2/3 coil (assuming its a wasted spark system like my 78). Does that help?
@@UrbanMonkTV Thank you. It dose I think I realized the answer after I asked it and looked at the diogram more closely.
Hello Urban Monk. I would like to get my hands on a wiring diagram similar to the one u used in this video. What should I do?
It can be found in the GS550 service manual at gsarchive.bwringer.com/
hey, is there anywhere I could buy those ignition coils mounting brackets? I am using aftermarket coils from eBay and they don't fit the holes that are already provided on the frame.
Thanks for watching. I'd guess those would be difficult to source. Most builders would modify using mild steel and a welder. Nothing fancy required.
Wire harness not repair able,78honda400, need harness just to run.no lights,etc.switch,coils, rec/fie,motor.HELP video but not hookup these4conponets.only transportation I have
Thanks for watching. Pretty difficult for me to diagnose your problem from my armchair here. If you want to reach out to me through urbanmonktv.com I could attempt to help with some ideas on how to solve your wire harness issues.
Hey I'm working on getting an '80 gs 750L going and ordered the wrong coils off ebay. On the bike are 029700 denso and I bought some 129700... Are they compatable? The coils on the bike have been hardwired so I cant use the quick connects to give me any clue... Thanks!
I'm having trouble looking those up by the denso part number as the Internet is loaded with automotive Denso coil packs that begin with the same number. That said, if they are two wire coils they'll most likely work. Otherwise eBay has many aftermarket replacements with two spark plug leads that will work. I just searched the suzuki part number 33410-45110
And they come up. Around US$20. Hope that helps.
Could you send the picture of the wiring diagram
For the benefit of everyone, the wiring diagram can be found on pages 158-159 in the "GS550 ('77-'82) Service Manual (72MB)" found here: gsarchive.bwringer.com/
On a dual, wasted spark ignition coil, it should not be necessary to ground the coil, as the primary (low tension) winding goes to ground through the points, and both poles of the secondary (high tension) winding go to ground through the spark plugs.
Gosh. Your comment piqued my interest and I investigated. I would seem you are correct! Thanks for teaching me (and others here) something! Love it!
I have a question was there one orange and white wire for both coils or was there a wire for each coil ?
Yes O/W wire is common to both. Wiring diagram can be found on pages 158-159 of service manual found on my website on Resources page. urbanmonktv.com/resources
@@UrbanMonkTV thanks for the help and happy riding the 550 I'm working on a 850 myself and I hate wiring more than anything lol
@@brockhance780hey any luck i just picked up a 850 !
Didn't actually say what colour wires for what coil side black and orange and white to which coil ?
Thanks for watching! The Orange & White is common to both coils. The Black is Right and the White is Left.
@@UrbanMonkTV I gather it's that way when sat on bike left and right cheers
@@kevinlord5573 Yes Sir! Correct...From the perspective of sitting on the bike.
more human note out there they go wife and wer' praing
for her
Thank you! We are hopeful she'll get through this soon.
i have a barn find g s 1000 no ignition key no firing point gap junk no starting circuit at all seen to be working i m not sure but there and dog order! i have pics. just not moto
savy
With a service manual, parts diagram on suzukipartshouse.com and eBay, you could definitely get it back on the road. Just add persistence and patience. Ask for help anytime.
Thx n God Bless you brother
Thx for the Suzuki link too
I pretty much rebuilt my '78 GS550 using a Haynes manual and www.thegsresources.com/
