dyna ignition worth it?

[Anonymous]

is there really a noticeable improvement with dyna ignition?

Yes cranks better and runs better. Expensive too!!

It is definitely worth the money. You never have to replace or adjust points again. I was driving my bike when the 2-3 cylinder points broke in half and I only had two cylinders going. I was 30 miles from home. The points were less than two months old. I vowed right then that that was never going to happen again. I couldn't afford the Dyna 2000 at the time, but I got the next lower model (Dyna 3?), installed them and my bike has run better than it ever did before. Of course, I also installed new coils at the same time.

My opposite experince had been that a melted coils takes ut the electronic ignition. I have never had a failure with points. That said, the bike runs smoother and more consistent with an electronic ignition. Ponts need to manitained often to get anywhere near the consistent performance level of an electronic ignition. The difference is not arm snapping, just smoothness and consistency over time.

points vs dyna

I've had a dyna ignition in my 78 GS750 and have been trouble free for 7 years. Points and feeler gauges - what a pain!!!!! I've never opened that case on the bike since I installed the dyna... I think mine was around $115, but that was 7 years ago. Only if I could have fixed my charging system that cheap....
