How’s it going y’all? I bought a GS550 project recently that is an absolute basket case since my wife is on deployment and I need something to keep me busy. I don’t think the frame and the engine are of the same model. I bought a Dyna S and am trying to figure out if I’ll need to get a mechanical advance from a different GS or if I have one? Im a helicopter mechanic by trade so I’m learning as I go on motorcycles. I’ve got the signal generator so I assume it’s electric advance but how do I know the difference? Seems stupid but listen, I gotta learn somehow. Thanks!

Use the existing mechanical advance.Ed
To measure is to know.

So Ed, what exactly does an electric advance look like? I assumed the one on the bike was mechanical but the Dyna instructions say some models after 1980 may have electrical advances?Originally posted by Nessism View PostLast edited by SebbyRuiz; 04-18-2023, 11:08 PM.Because in the end, you won’t remember the time spent you spend working in the office or mowing the lawn.

The centrifugal advancers can be moved on the crank and advance with RPM.
Where it's electrical advance, that is built into the ignition box - electronically. And the trigger piece on the crank end is fixed in positionComment
