Take a trip with your favorite moto tech guru Todd, as he takes you on an in-depth look into how-to install a Dynatek 2000i Electronic Ignition system on a 2003 Harley-Davidson Sportster. You may recognize this motorcycle he is working on from another series we called "Saturday Sportster". With hopped up cams and larger pistons this 2000i ignition will give the motor some extra pep by adding to the tuning curve.
Todd walks you through from start to finish on this job. From learning all about what a VOES switch does, to removing the old ignition, to installing the new one and static timing. With just a few wires to hook up, Todd takes away all those wiring fears!
LET'S GO!

Best most informative video I have seen yet, you should teach.I really learned a lot from this and will be watching more of your stuff.Thanks

I like watching these vids because I can learn about my bike watching you tear into your demo bike, so if I ever have a problem I'll have the knowledge to fix it myself. I love wrenching (most of the time) and learning everything possible about the bike I love. Thanks Todd !!

Awesome explanation. Hooked it up and fired it up 👍

Is there any specific reason why the two coil wires must run from the ignition sensor directly to the coil instead of simply running them to the existing deutsch connector thats already at the bottom of the bike?

After an hour or so of riding, my stock '03 Sportster starts running like garbage, not firing right under load. It runs great until it gets hot. New VOES, sealed all intake leaks, and re-jetted. Really runs great, until it gets hot, so I believe it is likely the ignition module or perhaps a coil. I want to replace the coil and ignition, and be done with it.

I was hoping to see the timing light being used and his explanation for not having the plastic **chinga that threads into the timing hole🤣. I enjoy and learn from every one of Todd's videos🇨🇦

@lowbrowcustoms 7 ай бұрын

For the timing light, you put the plastic plug in to see the line more clearly also, if you don't want oil in your face and then you put the timing light on the spark plug wire start it up and at run at optimal rpm. you will then see the line hopefully in the center, as the timing light flashes. If its left or right of center you may have to adjust your sensor. Retarding or advancing the timing. Heres a vid on using timing light on a triumph starting at the time of using timing light. same concept different bike. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsqAksKf062ViHU.htmlsi=N9N50F_qOfC1L6WY&t=4181

Thanks for the video, I’ve been wondering what to do while the roads are too slick to ride on for the next few months. Question, for bikes tgat have the pickup and ICM behind side cover, is the installation process the same? …ish? Just unplug and remove the pickup then replace with the Dynatek piece?

Please help. I did Evo1987 engine service, I replaced the camshaft with s&s 495v, I bought Dynatek 2000i and there was a problem with starting the engine. The motor is set as the manufacturer suggests. Tdc in the window is a line piston located at the very top. I set the ignition so that the LED signal goes out. When trying to turn on the engine, the LED shows the signal at the beginning and at the end of the start. I am asking for help. Best regards

@adoniel-princeofmidnightan859 6 ай бұрын

18:10 before you send the wires through, if you wrap some electrical tape around the wires and the factory insulation it will help keep the insulation from bunching up like that. you can also tie a string over the insulation and wires, drop the string through and then pull the bundle of wires down out the other side.

Perfect instructions, thank you for that. When you do dynamic timing, do you ground voes and all switches on 2000i off, as manual says so, or you do it voes conected, switches on? Also whats confusing, do i search for advanced timing mark, or tdc mark?

I like Dynatec. I have Dyna coils and electronic ignition on my 70's Honda CB750, but the green coil kinda screws up the color scheme on the Saturday Sportster. I'm kind of OCD about stuff like that.

Another great video , thanks for posting . Just a quick one , is there any reason you couldn't simply fit Deutsch pins on the end of the new wires and re-use the original plug ? Thanks

@lowbrowcustoms 7 ай бұрын

you would have to either splice on the old plugs which could be a little messy / un reliable or go to the dealership and get new pins. The other thing is to make sure the wires match in the deutsch connector.. Many ways to skin a cat we were just trying to show a way someone can do it in their garage with doing what most would have in their garage to do the job :)

@@crippledwizard666 Yes you need an advance unit, best way to get one is to buy a points conversion kit Drag part # DS-242299 Keep the other parts because if the Dyna quits, the points will get you home, takes about 40 minutes to swap it out on the side of the road.
