I want to eliminate each problem area one by one…
The electrical system really scares me—I can’t count how many times I’ve been burned by it…
So here’s the “AS Watanabe SP2”.
I’ve installed it on the GSF and find it extremely useful.
The main benefit is that the spark is incredibly strong (you can see the crackling from a mile away).
You can advance or retard the ignition timing.
You can set the rev limiter.
Those are the three main points.
With stronger spark, starting improves! It fires up so well you’ll be amazed.
The ride feels milder (subjective opinion, but still).
I don’t adjust the advance and retard much, but when you put it on the dyno and check the graph, you’ll see 3–5 psi
shift with this adjustment, so it’s best to dial it in once while running and keep that in mind as you make your own adjustments.
You won’t be able to tell by feel alone.
There’s no version for the GS1000S, of course, so I’ll adapt the GSX1100S version ★
I’ve never done this before, so I’m a bit worried about how it’ll turn out…
The current GSX1100S has a contactless digital ignition advance, so I’ll also need
parts I picked up long ago. (Like the pulser on the right)
I can’t believe I still had such a part. Lucky?
So here we go with these materials.
