Topic: Dyna S ign. - solid copper or suppression plug wires?

[timdhawk]

Do I need the suppression plug wires when running the Dyna S ignition, or are the solid copper ones just fine?
thanx

What coils are you using?

The Dyna S doesn't change anything for the spark wires. It just replaces the points.

I think he might be asking whether or not the unsuppressed wires will have any negative effect on the
Dyna-S, due to the interference they might produce.  I was a little curious of this myself.

Run copper with resistor plug ends.

There is no computing going on in the dyna-s, just on/off switches, so no need for suppressing electromagnetic pulses.

thanks. Im running the Dyna's 3.0 coils. So copper it is...

your poor charging system...

In that case...you'll want to get some resistance in line with the coils, between the +12 volt supply and the coils. Otherwise, it won't be long before you overheat the Dyna S triggers, and your battery will run lower voltage than it does now. You can make your own from some 1 ohm, 10 watt resistors, or get one of my Resistor Packs (check my website, they are there).

Dyna has always recommended this resistance for use with those 3 ohm coils on these bikes, for several reasons. They just don't make 'em. Since the Dyna S adds about 1.25 amps extra load to the bike all by itself, and the 3 ohm coils add another 1 amp on top of that, you'll be heating up connectors all over the bike, too. the resistors will cool things off and make for a longer-duration spark, in the end.

I have your resistor pack already! = )
Plus I have updated all the electronics and switched everything over to LED's as well...
