Instead of using a distributor to determine when each cylinder fires, the car's ECU uses camshaft and crankshaft position sensors, along with MAP/MAF and throttle position sensors to determine the optimum time to fire each cylinder for the most power/lowest emissions. As opposed to fixed advance (vacuum or centrifugal) employed in distributors. Transistor Controlled Ignition is commonly referred to as Coil On Plug (COP), Transistor Controlled Ignition is just marketing bumpf to make it sound awesome.
more accurate spark timing and combustion
A device such as a radio can be said to be transistorized when earlier designs are replaced by designs in which transistors replace vacuum tubes.
Second generation computers are often called transistorized computers. The transistorized computers are more advanced computers than the first generation of computers.

Standard equipment in 1965 was points and condenser. However as an option you could order a transistorized unit for 1964,1965,1966.It came with a magnetic pulse distributor,and ignition pulse amplifier.( Rare)
TCI (Transistorized Capacitor Ignition) and CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) are both electronic ignition systems, but they operate differently. TCI uses a transistor to control the timing of the ignition spark and typically employs a coil to generate voltage, providing a more consistent spark over various RPMs. In contrast, CDI stores energy in a capacitor and discharges it to the ignition coil, producing a high-voltage spark for a short duration, which is effective for high-performance engines. Overall, TCI systems tend to offer better spark control at lower RPMs, while CDI systems excel in high-performance applications.
The GS 650 has fully transistorized ignition system. I have a 1982 GS 650 G with the original Suzuki service manual. There are several bullets in the manual highlighting the features/benefits of this system. The bullet of interest to you is the following one which I quote from the manual: "*Ignition timing is maintained properly at all times and requires no maintenance." My Norton driving neighbor says there must be a way to adjust the timing and that I just haven't found it. Not so- these bikes do not need timing adjustments.
