Dyna S and Dyna 2000

[smokienutz]

What is difference between the dyna s and the dyna 2000?

[Steve]

Have you tried looking them up online?

Basically, the S is a self-contained replacement for ponts or a factory electronic ignition.
In our case, it works well on bikes through about '82, as long as they have a centrifugal advance mechanism.

The 2000 is also self-contained, but has programmable advance curves, rev limiter and other features, as well.

Dyna

Steve,

What would be the dyna coil part number for a 79 gs 850g?

[ncnazario]

I have, the issue is I can find a search for part section...there is so many of them...I'm thinking the right ones are dc1-1 non cdi? I'm lost!!

The Dyna S is simple hassle free and very effective. For the '79 you would use the Dyna Green 3 Ohm coils and suppression wires The 7mm and 8mm wires both fit the coils. Z1 Enterprises is a good place to get them.

On most bikes, the dyna-s is all you need. It's a direct replacement for points - and fits behind the points cover.

The Dyna 2000 is more for performance bikes where you need a stronger spark, and adjustable advance/retard settings. The dyna 2000 also has a build in rev limiter - also very useful on a performance bike being pushed to the redline... The dyna 2000 has a control box that needs to be installed under a side cover or under the seat.

I run dyna-s on stock or close to stock bikes. I run the 2000 unit on my turbo.

i did look them up. was a little confused on it, so i asked.

It's far better to ask BEFORE you buy...

ya i was wondering and about to ask about this myself... i have an 80 gs850 and 1000 which both have igniters and signal gens instead of points wouldn't the 2000 replace the signal gen and igniter?


edit: ok with the 2000 you change the whole ignition system signal gen, igniter, coils

The Dyna S replaces the signal generator and the ignitor as well. Although you only "see" the sig gen part, the ignitor is built-in to that one part.

Generally speaking the 2000 is most useful on the 83+ GSes where there was no mechanical advance because the advance curve was built in to the ignitor. The Dyna S can't replicate that. Some have retrofitted mech adv units from prior years onto their 83+ bikes since the 2000 is so much more expensive than the Dyna S.

[refeicul]

so you wire up the coils to the new sig gen.. cool! Would of saved me a bunch if i knew that a while ago...

double the money ya i can see that

[mike_of_bbg]

Well if they haven't shipped yet maybe you can still cancel?

If your stock coils are good the Dyna S will work just fine with those too. You'll just have to rig up the connection for the negative lead.

[refeicul]

well a lot of stuff was already purchased last year so no chance of return and what not... went threw a few igniters..

[mike_of_bbg]

Ah, sorry to hear about that.

Old ignitors are not to be trusted unless you have no choice. I could sell mine as "tested and working", but it will overheat after about 1/2 hour of riding. I think I've only ever read about 1 Dyna S failure; they're very reliable.
