I have a bone stock 1982 GS1100 GK.

Planned upgrades include an overbore, Pipes, Rejet, K&N filter kit.

I am looking to upgrade the Ignition now. I was planning on the Dyna S and Dyna 3.0 ohm coils.

Is everyone haveing a good experience with these or getting better luck with another combination?

thanks for the reply,

B.
 
The Dyna S is designed to work with a centrifugal advance ignition. 82 & up GS bikes have the ignition advance built into the igniter unit. The Dyna 2000 system would be a good choice. http://www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1981
Another option would be to retrofit a centrifugal advance unit. I remember reading that it's possible, but I haven't done it myself.

Absolutely way better than the stock points on the early GSs. I cannot say how they compare to the Suzuki pointless system. Ray
 
according to that web page, the dyna 2000 only works on gs850's up to 81. Any ideas why it wouldn't work on my 82 GS850L. My ignitor's bad, and I was thinking about just upgrading to a Dyna system. Does the dyna system take the place of the ignitor box on my bike?
 
I really don't know the answer to this one. I would suggest you contact Dyna or Z1 enterprizes, I'm sure either one can tell you. Ray
 
Adding Dyna S and Dyna 3.0 ohm coils seems like an interesting upgrade. My question is: using these coils and copper conductor plug wires with the stock ignition generator in say a GS650 would there be any real improvement over the stock coils? and What about those "Splitfire Performance Spark Plugs", you know, the one with the split electrodes I keep hearing about, any real performance value? or just another gimmick? If there's a real, measurable performance improvement, I would certainly be interested. Please keep us posted on your impressions of such an upgrade.
Cheers, Cletus
 
I put the Dyna 3.0 ohm coils with the Dyna wires on the stock 83 GS1100ED and the difference it made was truly unbelievable.
I never even knew I was running poorly until I put them on.
Now the way she runs...................Holy Sheeeet\\:D/ \\:D/ \\:D/ \\:D/

It's a bolt on replacement. I and others use the S as a trigger. The 82 has a mechanical advance not electronic. Just pop the cover and have a look.
 
:o Hmmmmm...... Now that's something to go on my wish list!
BTW Both the airbrush guy and the upholstery guy called this afternoon and the paintjob and upholstery are all finished and ready for pickup Monday morning (that's cruelty of the highest order, why could they have not called this am?).... Think I'm working Monday or skipping off???:-D
 
My 83 1100E has a mechanical advance unit, for sure. I just lubed it up the other day. Electronic ignition, mechanical advance. Here is the proof:

I have read on the gs resource and somebody said the dyna s is a stand a lone system,Just look in electrical heading
 
1100's upto the 1150 had mechanical advance and it can be fitted to later models, I put a '80 unit on a '84 1150 motor.

Also put a Dyna S on my '79 GS1000S, made it run better at idle and in the higher rpm's, well worth the money, get it at http://www.z1enterprises.com
 
while I'm not sure about the specific ignition setup we're talking about, I'll throw you the info on the whole "splitfire" thing.

They paid off a class action lawsuit a couple years ago regarding performance claims to the tune of almost 4 million dollars. They've since changed the wording on their packaging and advertising...I'd pass on those if I were you and just go with a nice "normal" plug set.
 
Here's a good price on a dyna 2000 setup for 77-85 gs 1000/1100/1150.

One question, which wires should be used with this setup?

And, on my bike (an 80 GS1100E), what do you think the install time would be considering I have enough mechanical background and experience to be ASE certified (i.e. i'm not a "noob" that doesn't know the difference between a torque stick and a torque wrench)...maybe 3-4 hours??

Yes, the S system has a built in igniter. you don't use the stock one as the dyna S plugs directly into the wiring harness were your igniter did.

I run that setup on my 83 1100 kat.
