Wow, I think gobsmacked is the correct term (maybe, lol). I have the same igniter and only was able to test the 2 main transistors and verify the caps weren't blown. Oh and tested the resistances from the table in the manual. Mainly because of limited knowledge and I did not want to break the module that you removed. You took this to the next level and I thank you for sharing. Now I have added this project back on the list after letting it sit for over 5 years. subscribed and liked.
This was a truly lovely display of real time troubleshooting. Do you believe that the component you replaced is a weak link in this design? Many many 1983-86 572 cc GS GSX 550 550Ls have been scrapped because of failure in this outrageously expensive part. It would be a small market for sure but there is a demand out there. Dubious used units on ebay command up to 150 USD with no assurance of functionality.

can u fix mine one too? 😀
nice work!
