I have a Dyna S ignition and coils on my 400F! Love it. EASY to work with. ;)

where are you getting your dyna from?  Z1 enterprises is supposed to be really good and cheapest around on the dynaSat $120 I think.

     I believe Dyna is the best way to go.  Heard many others praise them.......... I've had a Dyna on my '74 750 K4 for a couple of years now........... never a bit of trouble.

     I got mine from a web based place in Idaho........... very quick shipping and good service (I have bought other things from them).......... Price was $120.........

     This is their website - - - - http://www.accwhse.com/

P.S. ........ Just checked it out again, looks like $120 is no longer a valid price; sorry.......

Slap it on and plug it in. Time it and go!

When you set the timing, don't worry about idle.  Dyna is not real clear about this, and I had to figure it out and waste time.  Just rev the engine above 2500 RPM and adjust so the advanced setting is between the two advanced marks.  Do this for both pickups.  You will need a timing light by the way.  Then just cover it up and go.  I am still amazed at the difference in starting.  I used to have to crank a while, now it starts almost immediately.  That alone is worth the $120.  The engine also seems smoother and more powerful, but that may just be in my head.  I got my Dyna S from Z1 by the way.

I'll probably do the conversion this evening. A local friend who runs a car/motorcycle repair shop got it for me
for $117. Thanks for the info.

I've got Dyna ign/coils and iridium spark plugs. Bike kicks over so easily that NASA called me today to inquire about borrowing my bike to jumpstart the next space shuttle. No lie.
