Which GEREX Multifire ignition system? GEREX had at least two ignition systems that it sold in the 1970s/1980s.

I have used both and I still run its GEREX CDI system on my '78 KZ1000.

That's a GEREX CDI system. I ran one on my '73 Z1-900 for 27 years before it died. Since 1984, I've been running such a system but with Andrews coils (the GEREX CDI system came with Andrews coils later) on my '78 KZ1000/A2 since 1984.

Where did you get this particular system? What bike (s) is it for?

I have GEREX CDI documentation which I can provide you with if you like.

I knew the maker of GEREX ignitions back in the 1970s/80s. I used to visit his shop in Torrance, CA back then from time to time. This CDI unit was made to work on a number models, not just Kawasaki Z1s/KZs.

MSD makes a similar system for bikes (that's why it's called Multi-Spark Discharge). I'm not sure of the price.

General Dynamics/Convair 1983-1993
