new DYNA S ignition system

[Agemax]

got mine today, far less fussy than the other electronic system i had fitted and not affected by light. gonna fit it tomorrow and see how he sounds

[Agemax]

what an improvement. so much smoother at idle and pick up is more responsive. money well spent me thinks

What year is your 1000? Was the installation straightforward? Would like to get rid of that extra black CDI box on my 1000....

its a 78 ec model. three wires and time it up. no black box or complicated wiring

"time it up"?

[JATO]

You'll want to add a rev limiter if you're like me and don't spend too much time looking at your tach. I put a Dyna S on my '78 1k two years ago and I love it. The power delivery is so smooth with it compared to the old breaker points.

Set the timing

[Agemax]

its easy to time up. set it statically on full advance with a 12v bulb connected to the coils. this is quite accurate but then check it at about 2500rpm with a strobe light

Dyna S 12 volts

With the addition of the Bosch relay modification to supply a true 12 volts to the coils and you have a truly solid system. And it's not that difficult or expensive.

The Dyna S is such a fantastic unit that I can't understand why this is not the first mod everyone does.

I'm totally ignorant on this issue, so please forgive me for asking-what would this mod do for me over and above my stock electronic ignition? ('81 GS650G)

Nothing, unless your ignition fails.
It is cheaper than replacing the stock parts.
For the older bikes without electronic ignition, it will run better than a points ignition in poor condition, needs no adjustments once it is set up and no periodic maintenance ( points or condenser replacement ).

I can't tell any difference in running smoothness or power between my two GS 1000 engines, one with Dyna S and one with points, as long as the points are working correctly. If they are timed the same, they run the same.

Hey Jay, I think it IS the first mod most of us do on these old points ignition!
