Topic: anyone have any experience with ignition coil relay mod

[albaradr]

hey guys,

when i bought the bike there was this mod done and im wondering if the previous owner did it right.  i had to remove the main wire loom to repair the main ignition wire and im a bit lost on one wire.

ive checked out all the pictures on the forums and it seems off on wire 86

so it goes: 85 to ground

                  30 to starter solenoid, the right post if your looking at it

                  87 is going to the ignition coils black and white wires, its split and has some other wires attached to it going down near batter

                  and here it is ... i dont know where 86 is reallllly suppose to go.  says to trigger wire from switch, but he has a male bullet coming from                         relay and the trigger wire is also a bullet.  the only other connection near by is the double female that ignition coil wires were suppose to go in.

any ideas how this is suppose to go?

You might want to pull it all out and start fresh.
Relay main power to coils is a pretty straight forward mod.
Your relay should have four terminals. Two are the triggers and the others are switched.
The poisitive trigger is the stock power feed to the coils because it is switched with the key and the run button on the right control. The negative trigger goes to ground. The other two terminals are the direct power feed from fuse block to cools. This is the new switched feed to both coils and is a heavy gauge fused power supply. If you google it you will find some diagrams.

terminall 86 should come from the kill switch, so the relay is off when the kill switch is set to off

sorry let me start over lol

Pin 30 is attached to right side of solenoid with a 10 amp fuse

Pin 85 is grounded

Pin 86 looks is a wire with bullet connector not sure where that goes

And 87 has a dual female that looks like goes into black and white wire in coils

Any idea where 86 and 86 go?  Also found out that I'm using a dyna s ignition

Read the replies completely.
If 30 is the main power supply, 87 connects to the coils and 85 is ground.
What do you beleive 86 is for?

Oh Jimmy ur so cute

I know what it's for but the connectors don't match up this y I'm looking for help for someone who may have wired it differently.  If u read carefully i write the po has pit a bullet connector to plug into trigger the trigger is also a bullet connector.   So I'm hoping someone has an idea of what other plug I can put this into

IMHO...if this is a 500/550/400F/350F and it has low-ohm coils like Dyna 3 ohm (or post-1979 Honda coils), my two cents is: remove the coils and install correct ones, lest you have a perpetually dead battery.

If, on the other hand, the coils are stock: there is little reason to install a relay to power them. It won't help the spark like many people think it will. Instead, look into the resistance of the sparkplug caps, make sure they are good, and use the correct sparkplugs: X22ES-U or D7EA for the 500/550, or X24ES-U or D8EA for the smaller Fours.
