    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...

    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.

I have an old Martek 440 until I'm willing to sell.....however I didn't know they were collector pieces. (see links below) $359. ?!?!? WTH....???:eek:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/KAWASAKI-Z1...Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ad5001203&vxp=mtr

I saw another one for close to $200... anybody know why?

Maybe I should hold on to it...:lol:
 
Go with the Dyna. Easy installation, small, easier starting, quicker revving. Good tech support, even though you won't need it. $130 bucks for something that'll outlast the bike. I call that cheap.
 
The Martek 440 was never as good as Dyna, It appears that seller is just fishing for a fool. I have one in the original box with all the papers and instructions too and use the Dyna-S.
 
It (The M-440) was as good BEFORE the Dyna-S was produced ;)

Keep those instructions handy, they will be helpful if anyone here shows interest in acquiring mine. lol
 
It`s a birthday present went for dyna s for $115 im in Ireland so there is $30 import tax and $40 shipping.Thanks for the help.Conan

For tank-polishing period accessories freaks. Only one step removed from the ones who stick with points for 'originality'.

I agree the Dyna S is better than the Martek 440. But, I did run one in my '77 GS750B and once I installed it and set the timing I never touched it again. The biggest setback was that they lacked the adjustability of the Dyna S. And of course they are no longer around...

I think I paid like $50 for it brand new in 1980.

Hi, you mentioned that you have the instructions for the Martek 440 for the Suzuki. Would it be possible for you to e-mail me a pic/scan of it? I'm trying to figure out how its supposed to be hooked up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Ben

PS: I tried to pm but it doesn't seem to work.
