    Get Some Points and Condensors

    My bike died out and i thought i was gonna have to toss the motor... swapped the points and condensors and aligned the timing marks and gaps to spec... all i gotta say is if you havent changed your points and condensors like the GSResources tell you to, CHANGE EM!! my bike seriously feels like it has double the horse power and im not even kidding. change them friggin things

    Or, better yet get the Dyna S replacement and lose the points forever.

    I finally did it and will never mess with the points again on a bike that has the Dyna available.

    But, if you don't want to pay for the Dyna then certainly replace the points and condensers. The bike will run much better.

      I got a "blown up" GS850G free. Points and condensers later, plus a little carb work and a stock seat and ditching the cracked Windjammer, its a decent bike. My nephew is enjoying the heck out of it.

      All that was wrong was a bad condenser. I bought all OEM though. It was close to a hundred bucks.

        it's amazing how many bikes with "Bad" engines run just fine after a little TLC.

          I think a Dyna is not a whole lot more.
