You know a lot more about electronics than I do, and I appreciate what you are trying to do. It's easier to understand when all the particulars of the experiment are fully described, so nobody has to make assumptions.
The output voltage shown in IMG_20250616_183557, looked to me to be about 40V max? That's quite a lot for a pickup coil, when I've seen numbers mentioned around testing pickup coil signals, they were just a few volts, but this was probably with the coils operating open circuit on the measuring meter.
One thing that I mentioned it early in the thread, was that it seems like the "noise" of the 3 phase alternator represents quite a regular pattern of pulses. These would be clearer if the X and Y of the signal shown in IMG_20250616_183557 were amplified, but it does look like the voltage is bouncing consistently between something like 0 to 13 volts.
If, Suzuki had chosen to use these low amplitude "noise" pulses for determining engine speed, and not just the once per spin signal from the dedicated reluctors, with 9 sets of coils in operation, it seems like those low amplitude pulses at ~333 rpm, would be coming out at 3000 Hz? If Suzuki was using this method, and had decided that this number was the lowest rpm that the ignitor would produce spark at, that might account for your trigger circuit eliciting no response below 3000HZ. Could the ignitor be counting your spark trigger pulses, then operating as fast as it is capable of producing sparks?
What was the behavior at 4000, 5000, and 6000 Hz?
Certainly modern rotors have many, many nodes to produce a much busier crank position signal than a single pulse per rpm. The rotor pictured is from another single cylinder bike. What we don't see, (on the back side in the picture), is a wide node, then a gap, but this rotor has something like 27 nodes.
