    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey guys is it a common thing for a dyna s pickup to die, I switched my coils around and my coils are fine but the funny thing that the pick up wire for my left pick yup will display 12 v and the working pick will have 1 v until the magnet comes around.

The mounting location for the Dyna S is extremely harsh and you should expect higher electronic failure rates than other electronic devices of the same/similar complexity.

That is why I continue to run a stock ignitor on my GS1100ED
 
Dnya s failure rate?

Dnya s failure rate?

I called dyna tech and they want me to send it in to test and the they will let me know about its condition And then warranty ?

Isn't it possible to fabricate a rubber insulator at the mounting point?

It probably would help, although I don't know how much picup alignment might cause variation in timing. Als that doesn't do much for the thermal effects which could be equally as bad as vibration.

HALT is based on the principle that Heat and vibration create internal stresses that promote failure. These stresses are know to be cumulative as in captured in mechanical stress strain , fatigue damage curves.

Dyna will warranty ANY of their products, regardless of the age, or if you were the original purchaser. 'If' the part is determined to be faulty they will offer you a new one at half the price, but you have to pay for all the shipping. Might be a better deal in the US since your shipping is cheaper.

You can check the pick up (coil) on the bike by checking resistor ohms. A Dynatek tech will tell you how to do it.

I saw one Dyna pickup fail due to heat. When the engine warmed up, it would stop working.

On a cool day, you could leave the ignition cover off and ride as long as you wanted. With the ignition cover off, it would heat up and stop working in three or four miles.

Anyway, the owner called Dyna, sent it in, and they replaced it. Most last for decades, but there are failures here and there.

Out of warranty failures are replaced at cost. When I checked last year, a module plate was about $75.00. Call and get a RMA to send the module plate in for inspection and replacement. It's better than buying a new one. The modules have been redesigned so they look different from the old ones.
