    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.

Does this look original or somebody messed with it before?

It's stock, it should be a Dyna-S, better mileage, and a tad better performance!!:D
 
Ebay has some good deals but you can also go to the Dynatek website.
 
I've got two Dyna S ignitions that are now superfluous to my needs. One new (out of packaging) that showed up recently from the previous owner of my racebike, and one used that I bought off a seller here. PM me if you're interested in one. (I sent you a note about the coils too).

Is there really a measurable difference, I wonder, unless the stock one is faulty, with misfiring issues?:confused:
On a stock bike?

Hi, the stock ignitions are not designed to run well in the upper revs. The dyna-s will perform great in high revs, get better gas mileage, start easier, and will deliver more performance.
I have proved the performance at the drag strip with several different bikes. They are VERY common at the race track...........Bob
 
There's a fair bit of variation between the ignition systems on the different GS bikes. The early electronic ignition (starting in 1980) used a mechanical advance and then in 1982 some models went to a new type of ignitor with the advance curve built into the electronics. And even with in a family of bikes the ignitors varied; most look like a black box but I took this ignitor off a 1981 1000GL parts bike. Guess I'm trying to say that the systems changed quite a bit so personally I wouldn't draw too many generalities about performance.
