For me, yes, but I'm 6'2" and have used rearsets so the whole riding position is changed.

You can see why people the world over recommend running standard ignition components, but equally its easy to understand why people are tempted by promises of (relatively) maintenance free ignition systems.Definitely money!!

My take on it is that the weak link is the PVC outer on the HT leads. The 'coils' themselves are extremely reliable. With age the PVC hardens really badly and the inner core fatigues. This happens even on low mileage bikes.That's exactly what has happened with my leads - the PCV has cracked down to the core right at the point where the lead enters the coil. The coils themselves test perfectly good. Primary resistance tests bang on 5.0 ohms, secondary resistance is between 15.3k-14.7k ohms, continuity between primary circuit, no continuity between primary to secondary.

I've read that before - I bought the 5 ohm dyna coils because of the low alternator output and I intend to use them with the Dyna - S. I also converted every light to LED to reduce the draw on the system.

Sorry cant remember what the readings were, but it was off by enough for me to return them. Got it written down somewhere, plus Ash will know as he talked me through it.So where did you end up going for a 5 ohm coil and what was cost like? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 41

I bought a pair and had real bad problems which made me think the cabs were out. Turned out to be a crap spark. I had a set of coils kicking around the shed off a ZZR Kawasaki. Stuck those on and the bike fired up like a trooper and has been spot on ever since. They were TEC KP02's which are 3.8ohms if I remember correctly.Haha haha got it.

Would you go for the coils from DSS or would these be just as good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311350150677

If you check on the web, Dyna systems are getting slated all over for being unreliable. Either points or Boyer Bransden for me.I'm thinking points for now. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 44

Hi all,
My Dyna coils have fried and will be going through the warranty process to get new ones. Anyone have a spare set of coils they could lend/sell me for cheap to keep me going in the interim? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk |
