From what I remember,
the “GSX-R1100K/L face was unpopular” or so it seemed… (though my memory is fuzzy and this is just my take)
Time has passed
and now the “neo-classic boom” is hot. Round dual headlights with 17-inch wheels are pretty cool, right?
I’m probably just “making wild guesses”
My recommendation is to put the early model face on the 1100K-N, and with just the upper cowl you get that early model vibe—it’s nice.
Now let’s get to work quickly.
Okada Projects Plasma Booster (MSA)
I basically love ignition items and install them on all my personal vehicles.
It’s also compatible with Wotani .
Rather than a generic MSA, it’s developed with vehicle-specific settings, so it’s “easier to feel the difference” I think.
That said, it’s not a “dramatic improvement” . Don’t expect too much.
For me personally, “improved starting,” “smooth feel,” “safe design that reverts to normal ignition if it breaks,” “compact size,” and “dedicated MSA”
—that’s why I love using it.
Even on the FI bike I thought would never feel a difference, the CB1100 SC65, I do feel “hmm… smoother.” After installation, that state feels so
“normal” that when you compare with and without, it seems more refined.
If I have no issues or complaints with the ignition system, I basically run stock plus minor upgrades.
The stock igniter is a consumable, but since it’s DENSO, the durability is incredible.
The price has quite a punch, so please be aware.
If you install it yourself it’s fine, but if you have a shop do it, labor costs add up.
*Only the Inazuma 1200 has a different setting, but if you do ignition tuning or limiter cuts, the same product below should work fine.
Igniter → installed on the coil side.
If you install it on the ignition coil side as the manual says, the wiring gets “messy.” To make it look as unmodified as possible, I install it on the igniter side.
*Always check the wiring diagram to make sure there are no errors.
I’ve made it into a connector at an easy-to-access location.
The reason I do this is because it’s
“hard to feel the difference,” so I want you to “experience it.”
By plugging and unplugging it, you should be able to feel the difference.
Please try connecting and disconnecting the connector to feel it. *Though I bet you’ll only do it once…
That’s fine too.
The wiring is simple (*´ω｀*) Just one ground and two signal wires.
As I mentioned above, even if it fails, it just reverts to normal ignition.
Though I’ve never seen one fail… Additional ignition systems are a bit scary…
Checking operation with a simple oscilloscope gives peace of mind.
Is it working? Is it not working? That’s the question with ignition systems.
But with an oscilloscope you can confirm for sure.
Modern tools are super compact and affordable…
Honestly, something like this is enough for us, though I do have a proper one but it’s a pain to pull out…
This oscilloscope also has a multimeter function, so I think it’s worth having one.
I was supposed to change the tires today, but…
due to the air valve issue.
Lately, I’m not the only one thinking something’s off with a certain company’s shipping system.
It’s getting warmer… I have a subtle bad feeling.
