I want to replace my 550 ignition because the last guy drilled it out.. literally. I loosened the gauges and found that the ignition wires go into the headlight back, I hear this is a real pain to get apart/back together. Once I am inside there is it just plug and play or do I have to splice wires and whatnot? Also, what is the proper ignition to replace it with? I see there are minor differences across eBay with reproduction switches although the only listed OEM part I can find is listed for the K and not the L.

Thank you!

Hi try this web site for a replacement https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/suzuki/gt_ ... ion_switch

further to this it appears the 76 GT550 may have a six wire switch wher the earlier had a four thats according to the diagram on the attached link. http://smokeriders.com/diagrams/Suzuki/ ... _GT550.gif

Thought the early models had six wires

AFAIK all 380 and 550 had six wires the 750 has four wires.

Ok so the advice is beware of incorrect repo parts, I was going by the first website link which is selling supposed earlier ignitions and show four wires.
