ive got a question for yall its possible that it might be dumb but i have to ask. when i was looking through the website last night i found the gs specifications. now it says that the ignition is "transistorized", now does that work like a relay or am i thinking of the wrong thing. the reason i ask is because i built a flame kit for my car and one of my buddies gave me the idea of making it for my bike next. but i dont exactly understand how the ignition works. if you guys could give a little bit of help it would be much appriciated.

Hi there,
You're right.
It is a dumb question, but that's OK. Dumb questions help us all learn things. :)
A transistorized ignition means it has no ignition points like old style technology used to use.
No more parts to wear out or need replacement or even adjustment.
The ignition is an electronic, or transistorized unit, that takes the place of the old points and condenser ignitions.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
