I just bought a Dyna S for my 70 Goldwing. This video answered ALL of my questions! Thanks Taylor

@leegraves101 9 месяцев назад

I put one on my 75 GL and it makes a big difference. Install it and forget it

Can you put up a video on the process for dialing in the carbs (sync, idle mixture, slides, etc) on these engines?

@Jaxdp65 4 года назад

Love that sound reminds me of back in the early 80s how our cb750f sounded with kerker exhaust

@daveco1270 4 года назад

I needed this video 9 months ago. I used the red wire with the splice connector that came with it....so far no problems. I connected it to one of the black and white wires coming from the coils. I used a timing strobe to fine tune it.

Thank you for taking the time to film and edit the process along with concise explanations! I don't even own a CB or a bike with points, but your videos are very informative and easy to follow! I hope you are doing well. Take care!

@btordxc 3 года назад

Thanks for the excellent instructional video. This is the 3rd install I've done of this Dynatek electronic ignition on various Honda SOHCs but this time I wired it to the back brake wire as you suggested rather than use the dodgy clip that comes with the Dynatek. It was much simpler and cleaner using your method.

@somerandomguy3868 4 года назад

Gotta say nice job! Pretty straight forward install, looking forward to the test ride

@daveco1270 4 года назад

I wish you had made this video before I put my Dyna ignition on my bike last year. I like the way you did the red wire. I used that blue splicer that came with the unit. So far it's worked great, but another option would've been good.

@cb175s 2 года назад

You can definitely here it firing on all four cylinders after the ignition swap. It sounds great with points too of course But you can definitely here a different sound. I bet it screams now. Great information Great video Thank you for taking the time to share. Awesomeness

@ogribiker8535 4 года назад

Been using Dyna S ignitions on all my old Z and GS builds and they are the nuts!. My old Z650 has both dyna S ignition and dyna coils and it always starts the moment you hit the button, if you know anything about old Z's you will know how long they normally take to start. Good vid 👍

@rickjames8510 4 года назад

the dyna ignition comes straight from the factory at 180*. For certain Suzuki gs models the mechanical point mechanism only has timing marks on one side, so once you only adjust timing for the 1-4 and the 2-3 is done as well. Super awesome upgrade and well paired with the dyna coils

@geoffreybelk5968 4 года назад

you say well paired with the dyna coils... you need to change the coils if your gonna upgrade to the dyna ignition or can you keep the factory coils. Thinking about the Suzuki GS450L.

hey Matt, were the dyna S an easy install or did you have to do anything special to mount them?

@mattlaird4679 3 года назад

Yes easy, everything required was in the box incl instructions,combined with this vid was straightforward. Just needed to static time afterwards with a lamp or continuity tester. There's a vid for that on here also 👍

@TheLLentini 4 года назад

hey man, awesome video. saw it out of the corner of my eye but i see your running the rear hoop in the back. the tire will contact under hard bump. i have done it and it is not a good time; no amount of stiffer springs or pre-load adjustment will stop it. just a fore-warning.

@htmonaro1969 3 года назад

Thanks for the great video, I own a 1970 CB 500k0, that will eventually have the original engine with a 600cc kit (new sleaves and pistons in a kit). I have the same electronic ignition system you installed, which is whst attracted me to this video, however, I would like to know more about the exhaust system, as I will need to get one for the bike and that sounded awesome. My bike, when it is eventually finished will be a cafe racer, with lots of different parts from different bikes on it. It won't be a daily ride, I'm not looking for that anymore (at 62 I've had too many friends die or get seriously injured for that) but I do want to do the occasional club ride etc.

Nice job, always returning to these instructional videos now that I am deslindar with my rebuilt F2 with everything new but nos parkas at the plugs. I think the whole complete points plate and points itself are not helping. Thinking to move to electronic ignition as I have on my K5. Regarding the exhaust, what muffler are you using? I think with stock 4-1 pipes right?

@NIVEADeoformen 3 года назад

Hi Taylor! Love the video, your always a huge help to the community ! I wondered if I should install the dyna ignition on my bike straight after a complete engine tear down, or if I should first put the old ignition system on to see if it will run? Any recommendation here ? Thanks a lot !

@frostygonz Год назад

I’d do old ignition system just to verify it’s all good, then swap over to the new system

@themondoone6316 4 года назад

I own a CB750A and after seeing your video I am seriously thinking about the upgrade. Would you reccomend the simple kit you installed here or one that includes the coil packs. This is of course for daily driving.

@007mercucio 3 года назад

Is there any advantage to using a timing strobe, to improve on the static timing settings?

@supersportimpalass 4 года назад

Probably would sound quite nice. I bought the Delkevic header and Cone Engineering silencer for my 550k and it sounds pretty awesome but is quite loud though. Tough to beat the sound of an inline 4 with a 4 into 1 exhaust imho especially if it's a Honda SOHC.

You make it look easy.. well now I want it on my old cb750.. Did you upgrade coils or cables, I heard someone mention the resistance should be different when using dyna ignition..?

@doomsayer559 4 года назад

You can use stock coils. But for aftermarket you want anything over 3ohm. Dynatek recommends 5ohm.

@Timotheousturalyon 4 года назад

Does this replace the ignition control spark units on 1981 cb750's ?

@MichaelSmith-fo1kj 3 года назад

Do you use the Dyna Coils over some more generic coils like the ones from Mikes XS? There’s a huge price difference, but the e-ignition makers tend to push you that direction and blame any ignition faults on budget coils.

@jakefin6891 4 года назад

Do they make these for a 72 cl350? If they do, can you recommend one please.

@PeterAndersons 4 года назад

Hard starting... check the accelerator pump.

@mattihnen2764 3 года назад

Cb550 doesn't have an accelerator pump. Idle mixture needs to be rich because of this so don't try to set mixture screws by adjusting for highest rpm.

@0dium. 9 месяцев назад

i got lost where you use the test lamp to tune the advance for the 2 cylinder pairs ... when it lights up , where does the power come from ? 12v runs through the ignition plate ?

@vespasandengines Год назад

Do you need the advance arms and springs for the dynatek to work? Can it work without it? I have the Boyer ignition and the springs and arms have been taken off

@daveco1270 3 года назад

QUESTION: Did you cut off that plastic connector that turns the two red wires into one red wire? Curious how you rigged those up since there's two wires (assuming you're not using the extension). Did you crimp both red wires into one male bullet connector or did they each get their own? I have my Dyna hooked up and working great, but I used the crappy blue splicer it came with (spliced into the black and white wire near the coils) and I'm thinking about rewiring it with proper connectors now that I've gotten better at doing wiring. I have a couple different ideas that would work. Your way seems simple, I'm just a little confused about not using the extension that turns the red wires into one wire. I wish we could've seen the way you had those wires set up before you plugged them in. I have a four way connector that I think could work if I give each red wire it's own bullet terminal.

@franklinnieto8211 2 года назад

initial diag was no spark on any cylinder…Caps read at 4.8. Primary 4.9 secondary 16.6. I added new plugs as well and new battery. When I tried do the timing test with light it wouldn’t turn on when the marks lined up or at any point when I rotated on either 1-4 or 2-3. Do you think the condenser is bad ? I cleaned off the points. Btw the switch was in the on position. Any help is much appreciated I’m trying to get this cb750 to start.

Im trying to make sure the dyna s point plate is correct. just cant seem to be able to test it the way you do because the light is already on. so its suppose to be ( key on ) not ( key ignition ) ? I have blk/white and solid blk on the harness not sure whats supposed to be key on or ign, im using the dynatek coils.. its like im the only one in the world with this set up because not one person has shown exactly how they how dynatek coils wired up to stock harness,,, fml

@marvindavis8705 2 года назад

There is one setting that was left out of all the installs on You tube. That is the space between the magnet on the rotor and the 'pickups' on the modules. If set too far out the corresponding cylinders will misfire. I set mine but forgot what the setting was, maybe forty two thousands?? can you confirm the range??

@bonnjohnston9290 4 года назад

What kind of ignition coils do you like to run on your bikes?

@supersportimpalass 4 года назад

5 ohm Dyna coils are best since you can easily replace the wires if they go bad. Skip the 3 ohm as most people find they pull to much juice from the stock electrical system and can cause charging issues especially on the 550's and smaller sohc Hondas. It's worse yet with the 3 ohms and the Dyna S because they pull juice for longer crank rotation exaggerating the the current draw and charging issues. Stock coils work fine for most bikes even with slight mods and the added Dyna S if you dont want to mess with setting points. Hope this helps answer your question.

@bdillworth88 4 года назад

HELP! After rebuilding the top end, I’m trying to set timing and on my 2-3, test light on blue wire I’m getting light where the 1-4 should be. Why? I have a dyna igniting set up too.

@daveco1270 3 года назад

Did you ever figure this out? Maybe you had the wires to your coils flipped so the blue wire went to the coil that controls 1 and 4 and yellow to 2 and 3. Edit: just realized the blue wire is for 1 and 4. So that's why you were getting 1 and 4 when you were hooked up to that wire.

It would be difficult to implement only because the electrical system would have a tough time keeping up with all the added accessories.

@MicJaguar 4 года назад

Ok, i need some help. My 1975 CB550F has a Dyna S ignition on it already. Been having all sorts of trouble since i had it. I was checking and testing my timing and i found that on the left coil if i use a test light, when ignition is set to on, the light is always on no matter where i advance the engine to be it 1/4 or 2/3. If i check the right coil it comes on as it should when i turn the timing rotar clock wise. The wiring seems correct but i could be mistaken. Should i just pay and bring this bike uo to Austin and have your shop help me? I have done so much and just getting fed up at this point. Lol 😆
