Points versus Boyer

(1/2) > >>

Seamus:
Hi All, I guess this has been around a few times, so apologies to those who are fed up with it.
I am trying to get the dwell angle and strobe timing to work on my K1. New points plate etc fitted.
Is it worth junking this and going straight to a Boyer. (Where do most fit the box?) On the US forum, there is a large article relating to the Dyna system as to where it causes sparks to reduce as rpm increase, so I ahve dismissed the Dyna.
Thoughts comments gratefully received
Cheers
Seamus

SteveD CB500K0:
I wouldn't dismiss the Dyna (don't forget that there are two versions, the "S" and the "2000"). Z1 Enterprises have the Dyna S at $120 which replaces the points plate (no other boxes)

Voxonda:
I use the "S" on my replica racer and with good succes, good spark allround, very good starting. Enjoying it.
Have a Boyer for my Turbo projekt but think I eventually will go for a "2000"

Seamus:
Thanks for the replies. I understand that the Dyna S replaces the points, but is'nt there a recommendation that you also replace the coils to ensure sgood high speed running? or do the standard coils work OK. I have a 70 K1 (US import).
Does the 2000 system have a black box (a bit like the Boyer)
Again, I am open to advice from folk who have been down this road before.
Cheers
Seamus

Bryanj:
To be honest, unless you want to race or do high mileages i dont see the point(sic) in shelling out good money on electronics when the contact sets are as reliable as they are---yes they do need maintainence but they also rarely go totaly tits up and strand you in the middle of nowhere and yes i agree getting the gap and timing spot on can be a nause if you dont do the job regularly and have a good "feel" for using gauges but then practice makes perfect and you have to have a strobe to set the electronics which you dont need for the standard set up.

I'm guessing lots of folks will shout me down on this but i do low miles and live with the contact set up!
