1981 XS400SE ignition (condensers?)

[mortonc]

I've picked up my new bike (1981 XS400SE) and I'm trying to plan for the re-wire.

In the Haynes manual I'm looking at the wiring diagram for an XS400SE (4G5) and I can see condensers but I was under the impression that post 81' bikes had TCI units and not condensers? Did this model not get them.

Is there a way to upgrade to electronic ignition?

The UK models are kind of oddballs compared to most of what gets discussed.

There's a Newtronic ignition available from Yambits in the UK.
Pamco Pete's ignition would also do nicely.

Thanks, I will have a look into both of those
