ignition compatibility 380/550/750?

Post by Bob »

i have a 77 GT550 Indy with ND ignition parts. I know i need to stay with ND - Kokusan is not compatible -
Having a hard time finding a complete tune up kit NDTK 407. Does anyone out there know if a kit for a 380 or a 750 would work - as long as it's ND? I'm a newbie here - sure would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction -- Thanks! Bob

Genuine parts are still available from Suzuki but they are a bit pricey.

There is an aftermarket Sudoc kit that’s cheaper on eBay.

You can check the parts numbers of the contact breakers etc here: http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/mraxl_G ... /index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm 90% sure that the same Denso breakers were used across all the triples, but the parts books will confirm that.

These days you're more likely to get Daichi aftermarket breaker sets. The fiber 'heels' on these are a different length compared to the Denso breakers, which has meant some people have had to open out the screw slots on the points with a rat-tail file to get them dialled in correctly. However, I never had this problem on my 380 with either Denso or Daichi points.
