Dyna S / Dyna III WHATS THE DIFFERENCE???

[Anonymous]

This morning I bought one of the remaining 2 dyna III systems for my 82 GS850G directly from dyna's website. I have been reading through all of the old posts here and I have seen several mentions of a dyna S ignition. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? Also I got the dyna III for 99.00, is that a good deal? Lastly (for now) I would like to replace the coils and plug wires ect. What products would work best with my bike? I don't want to spend to much money (my wife is already pissed about the dyna III and new head light I bought today). Thanks for the help! [/img]

I think the major difference between the two is that the III has a seperate box, while the S is all one unit that sits behind the ignition cover. I don't know of any performance differences between the 2. I think $99 is a decent price. If you're going to replace the coils, get the Dyna coils.

So the differences are more asthetic than they are related to performance...what is a good price for the coils? I saw some accell coils on ebay but the seller wouldn't tell me what model number they were. This bike hasn't been on the road in about 15 yrs. I hope in runs good with the dyna system! Do you know how to post pics. in the forum? Thanks.

I think the coils go for about $150, but I'm not sure.

As for posting pics, you need to upload the pictures somewhere on the web, then in your post put the following code:

Be carefull buying coils on ebay, DYna coils are the green ones, Accell has 3 ohm coils-work fine & .7 ohm CDI coils that DO NOT WORK just verify what you are buying Later style suzuki GSX/Bandit will fit & work fine as they are 3 ohms. You may be lucky getting the last Dyna ign.
I could be wrong I think the $99 special was because they are being discontunied
