Tired Zook ignition

After putting the new head on my bike I just haven't had the performance I expected. Played around with the jetting (a gazillion times), installed the coil mod, cleaned and recleaned ignition connections, cleaned and oiled advance, rethreaded spark plug caps ect ect ..........

Installed a Dyna S tonight and BAM! Instant power. I kicked the throttle and the bike came up so quick it took me by suprise. No more evil hiccup!
The old ignition couldn't keep up with my mods.
I recommend this upgrade highly.

Now to get some Dynatek Green 3ohm coils and get down to some serious tuning!!
 
anything still stock on your bike, chef ? :p


don't mind me, it's just envy talking :o
 
I'm glad you posted that because I figured as much. I bought a Dyna S that I have as yet to install.

How about throwing up a few pics of that beast? I'd love to see it.

You know, for me that is the PERFECT bike. The L shape, seat and style with the 16 valve engine and chain drive. I have enough pieces to make that but at least for right now, not enough confidence in my skills to go forward with it. I may make a bastard child of something like that some day.

Thanks for the pic.

I've always been a bit confused concerning these dyna s ignitions...

Is it desirable to put a dyna s on a bike with a sig generator? Mine are all '82's with no points or contacts... it would need some sort of mechanical advance I guess? Is any of that worth it>

Your thoughts - thanks,

mike
 
i just put the dyna ignition on my bike and it runs way smoother.....

definately should have gotten it long ago

You'll need to get an advance off an 80-81 1100. I know the 750 works also.
 
I did the same mod on my '82 1100E. It has a mechanical advance. You essentially bypass the whole signall generator thing and discard it.
 
OK, yes, I understand about the mech advance. I seem to think my 1100GZ has a mech advance already as welll...

What I REALLY want to know is:
(1) Unless my sig gen is toast, is there any advantage to replacing it with a Dyna S ignition??

(2) Is there a performance boost (over the stock sig gen set-up) with the Dyna S?

(3) Isn't a Dyna S essentially a sig gen that was designed to replace points & condensers??
​
Thanks,

mike
 
The factory ignition has two main parts: signal generators and ignitor. The Dyna S replaces both of these parts. The confusion comes in for some because the Dyna S looks so small – only slightly larger than the stock signal generators alone.

I don’t think there is a huge advantage in changing out the stock ignition with a Dyna S unless the stock ignition is on the fritz somehow. Problem is judging how bad the stock ignition actually is; a weak ignition can fool you into thinking you have a carburetion issue sometimes.

I picked up a spare ignitor for my bike for cheap out of the For Sale area. Verified it works so now I have it just in case the stock ignition starts to act up – should speed up troubleshooting. Never hurts to have spare parts laying around. Of course, you could just purchase a Dyna S and have that laying around as well. It’s only money.

Good luck.
 
Ahhhhh yes, forgot about the ignitor end of the equation.

I did the same with my 1100, picked up an extra ignitor on e-bay for like $15 !! Pluged it in & it works just fine.

Regarding the "fooled into thinking you have carburation issues" - I'm now starting to lean that way on my 850. I keep thinking I have a carb problem, but I'm not so sure. Everytime I "fix" the carb, the problem goes away & then re-appears. I have a set of green Dyna coils laying around & I'm going to install them & see what happens after that.

thanks,

mike
