I just went on patreon to pledge my support for your content because you're free videos have helped me sooo much! Thanks Matt I really appreciate what you do for the motorcycle community!

I didn’t start the day intending to learn about ignition systems, but I can’t stop watching!

This guy knows his stuff and knows how to teach! He explains everything so simply and thoroughly that you can't get it wrong. Totally helped me with the Dyna Unit for a 72 CB350F. Thanks Matt, you da man!

Awesome vid! Thank you Matt! Just as Joshua S. said it is the best kz ignition timing video Ive found. I wish there was something simillar about carbs. Ballancing, idle and so on. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, The instructions said do it on the F mark & I was having trouble. The 76 Z900 loves you.

Oh thanks for that dude, finally going somewhere with my build ! Working on a KZ650, so quite similar to the 1000, and I believe it is exactly the same process, since it is exactly the same kit, and my bike is rocking four cylinders too... Definitely the only video that explains this correctly ! Peace

Awesome video! I got mine all installed and got stuck at the static timing part. Found this video and it all makes sense now. Thank you

So hands down the best dyna installation video I've seen. I understand so much better what I'm actually trying to achieve.

Huge thanks, this helped me get my first bike (81 KZ650) back on the road.

Thanks for listing the tools you used. Trying to find a 7mm terminal crimper. Also helps you out too by following the link! Rebuilt a CB550 engine with your help. Thanks

Great job on the electronic ignition! Thinking of converting on my 1978 750K......Thanks!

Rewiring my bike which has one of these ignition systems and coils on it I couldn't figure out which wires went to where. I watched about five videos, all five completely skip over the wiring process--this is the first video that I found that goes through the entire process especially for custom install.

Great video and very clean simple build

Best explanaition of all videos about same subject, Thank you!!

Stupid me thought I could just slide in new spark plug wires and be good to hit the road. Now know what REALLY has to be done, thanks man!

I don't know why anyone would give this guy a thumbs down. He does great work!! Appreciate the videos man.

I spent a few thousand shipping 2 bikes to HVC to have the Dyna S installed. Brad personally delivered the bikes from Nebraska to Ohio...and they only sparked on one side... The magnetic pick up's died when the iginition key was left in the on position. Nick Pastore of Vintage Smoke sells the Dyna S. The Dyna S is not a complete CDI system as I later learned. Now I am installing the Power Dynamo. Wish me better luck. A video on installing the Power Dynamo would be great!

Great Video. If you were to bench test the Ignition module from the positive and ground wires with a multimeter, should the test indicate open line or continuity? Thanks brother.

Great how too explains it very well in detail

is it a negative terminal the rev counter goes to and what coil.awesome video you took time to do for us all thanks so much

Very helpful, thank you so much. My GSX 750 ET is running sweet.

Love ur videos Matt so thorough.

So does the red and black wire coming off the S ignition goes together. For 1977 kawasaki kz 1000

Thanks Matt, this video really helped me out.

I have roughly the same set up for my 77 kz650, bought an Amazon Digital Speedo with tachometer. In the set up with a Dyna S and 3ohm coils where do you want to attach your tachometer pick up wire?

This is a solid explanation of the timing process using simple tools. Made the process much simpler than the written directions that were sent with the Dyna S ignition plate.

Hey man so I just bought a 1979 Suzuki gs1000 from a auction and it doesn’t have anything or anywhere a key switch for it to be able to start idk anything about it or this for that matter how do I run new wires from the handle bars to the coils then to the battery. Etc

This really cleared up alot of a confusion I had, did a great job explaining everything. Mine should be coming in tomorrow for my gs1000. hopefully itll make a nice improvement.

Hey great video. I have a 1972 cb750. I would like to put this on it. Where do I get your dyno kit

Matt, how can I connect so negative in coil does not come back and brake my fuse or make a mess in electrical

Hi nice video!! dyna s will work on suzuki gs450 2 cylinderI have pinpoint installed Thanks

Hi Matthew, than you for providing such a great educational video, can you also please explain why there are so many different resistance of the coil what i mean is different ohms of coil, and how to choose between them? and why?

what a cool bike wow, thanks for sharing, very helpful.

I bought a Dyna 2000 ignition system for my 1985 FJ1100. I set the pickup coil at 35 degrees with the split in the engine cases as per the installation manual. I set the gap on each side the the rotor with two .015 feeler gauges. My problem is I am unable to line up the marks for the 1-4 and 2-3 coils with the pickup coil as I run out of adjustment room on each pickup. The timing light on the Dyna unit lights up about one or two degrees early for both pickups. The 1-4 pickup on the right wants to be pushed all the way up and the 2-3 pickup on the left all the way down. Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Hey im having trouble getting spark on my 1985 kawasaki zx600, no spark on all 4 cylinders, i have already replaced the ic Igniter

I am going to subscribe. Cool video. I am wanting to put a kit like this on my kz 650

So Matt first, I want to say Thank you. I purchased your video series on cb750top end rebuild for my 78. Worked perfectly. Had the carbs redone and did a rewire of the bike with an m.unit blue. I bought new oem switches from Cognito Moto, and everything was working great. I was fine tuning the bike, and it was running pretty good, but I couldn't get the bike to run quite as good as I liked. I still have the oem coils for now and have the Dyna S to put in a bit but when doing the static timing my test light never goes off. I ran my volt meter from the battery to the switch, then to the coils, and then down to the blue and yellow wires from the coils. I have 12.6 volts at every point of testing. What else should I look at? Keep in mind this is in BOTH blue and yellow wires.

Hi. How do I get the power for the light in the factory coil for a KZ650 1978? Thanks

Did you have to use the old igniter box when you upgraded to this?

@13:58...about the nylon spacers. That's not mentioned anywhere in the installation directions and well...holy shit I think that's pretty relevant information! I wonder if that's why I have power to the coils and no spark still. Do you think that could've cooked the coils?

I have a 1980 GS Suzuki 750 I bought recently. The original coils died so Brand new Dyna Coils came with. So what are the threaded holes for. I seen in your video black and white wires. I only got the Ignition Coils.

Should I use grease on the middle bolt/shaft you put in at 9:55?

saludos tengo una motocicletra igual la pregunta es cual es el orden de encendido

Do they make dyna coils for a 82 kz 305. I put them on my kz 650

Do you do a kit for a 1985 Yamaha xj700 maxim x?

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??

Quick question. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to ignition coils. Is it possible to buy a set of Dynatek Miniature DC1-2 coils and just replace the OEM ones like for like without doing anything else on the bike? It's a GSXR400 (GK76a) by the way. Thanks.

What year CB were you working on? I have an 82 CB900f, 1 & 4 cylinders are super rich and 2 & 3 are super lean, any insight to help me out? Also it's very lazy like the timing is not advancing.

Hey buddy, been waiting a long time for a new video from you, where you been !?!? And like the new intro 👍

I see you have the 2&3 cylinders marked on the coils but what about 1&4?

Hey Matt I’m a patron and I already bought 5 of your videos..you helped me with everything I know I just have one question..can you make a video of a yz85 full rebuild..my crank is hard to turn once I tighten the countershaft nut..

Will this work, or is there something available for an xs1100

Nice clear voice,cheers

are those installable onto honda hornet 600 yr2004?

Hello.....I have the same motorcycle...these captors don't have CDI?

Do these units need a cdi box?

I just put some new Dynatek coils on my 1975 Honda CB750. This video was really helpful, so thanks, Matthew! It's weird, the bike has always run a bit rich but with the new coils the spark plugs look great, maybe even a little on the lean side. Is that because it wasn't generating a strong spark with the old stock coils? It ran fine before, but now it seems to start better and run with a little more pep.

Great clip

great video ,thanks .when you bolt the coils to the mounts on the frame is that also grounding the coils when you do this .I have a KZ900 and have cable tied the coils to the frame so the coils are not ground to the frame ,not sure iff I need to ground the coils to the frame . thanks

Great video, thanks.

Hey Matt, great videos. I purchased your CB550 rebuild video awhile back and it helped a ton with my own CB550 rebuild. I also used your video on tank lining to help get things just right. Nice work! I've got a question. I'm running a Dyna S ignition set up with 5ohm Magna coils on my 1974 CB550 along with a Motogadget M-unit blue. My charging system is working correctly, but I can't seem to keep my battery at an appropriate voltage level. When it's at 14V and I turn the ignition key switch "ON" the M-unit app tells me the ignition system alone is using up 5.0 amps = 55W or so. Does that seem like a lot to you? When just at idle that power consumption drops the battery pretty quick. I'm running a Shorai battery if that makes any difference. Thanks for any input

Im building wire harness. Do the coild have to be mounted to bike to fire? Do they need to be grounded to bike. I cant get my coiks to fire with the dynatek ignition. Im so frustrated

Morning Matt, wondering if you can help. I'm currently restoring a early 90's Zephyr 750. I'm not getting spark, looks like the previous owner found this out and sold it. I've run tests to the best of my ability, and pretty sure its the Cdi/ecu, also maybe the junction box/fusebox. My question is, rather than replace an old broken ecu with an old working ecu. Can I just swap it out for a more modern set up? Cheers NMM

Hey Matt great video do you have one were you wire a 12 volts 5 pins relay for coils on a 79 gl1000 appreciate that or if you know any body how to do that thanks

Awesome tools, looked into those Vessel JIS drivers. What make is your circuit probe / tester? Really great video.

I have an 86 Kz 1000p it has a pulse igniter so with the Dynatek do I still need the pulse igniter?

Beautiful bike.

Hi dude. Thank you for the video, nice work! I've some doubts. Is necessary a dyna 2000 in order to use this dyna S ignition system? What happens if I use my oem 4ohms coils? GS75X it's my bike & antigravity my battery. Sorry by my English mistakes in this post. I'm a begginer hahaha Hablo Español

diagram from dyna does not show a ground point...where do you attach neg ? dyna shows pos 12v thru coils to dyna, then what?

Thank you for this! After doing this my test light stays on as soon as ignition is turned on. What does that indicate?

Hi Matt, I have a 1989 Ninja ZX10 with an aftermarket Dyna2000 ignition. The ignition box has a red light indicator on it and its not coming on, and im also getting no spark. Drove it one night all fine then the next morning it turns over but wont fire up. Replaced ignition coils and still wont fire up. I did notice that when the red light is on the bike fires up, but that night the red light would blink for a sec instead of stay on and now will not come on at all, can you guess why my bike will not start? Fully charged battery as well

What kind of light are you using to set the timing? Great video!!

So i just bought a honda cbr 900 rr and it has one of the dyna digital performance ignition and what exactly does it do to your bike and what does it replace? Id rather go stock since i dont how it works. Can it fuck with the engine

My 754 honda getting power two the coils but not out of them

Matt thank you for this video. Question. The 2 pick ups have a red wire each but the other end of the harness has only 1 red wire. Are the 2 red wires factory spliced in the harness or am I missing something?

can I install these coils to my 1974 kawasaki Kz 400?

If I'm interested in putting a dyna ignition in my 1975 Honda CB750 do I need to replace with Dyna coils as well or will it work with what I have on the bike now, which is all the original stuff. Also, did I hear you correctly when you said your previous Dyna blew up on you? Does that happen often with those units? That's a crazy looking bike by the way. Never seen one done quite like that. Love the color.

When upgrading to electronic ignition like this, do you still need to run a CDI box?

Really good video, kudos. I'm in the middle of setting up a Dyna system on my Kawasaki Z500 (same manual as kz550, gpz550). The problem is that my mechanical timing advance only has markings for the 1-4 cylinders. When turning the engine 180 Degrees, I only have a T marker. No F, no advanced timing markers. Do you know how one should set up the system given the circumstance? Would an ignition duration guage/disc be of use to figure out where the advance mark is compared to T? Best regards,

Hey Matt this set up pretty much will work with a '78 KZ1000 as well ?

I'm a little confused. So the ignition is supposed to fire the coils at two different points? Once at the advance timing marks and once at the firing "F" mark?

Im new to this stuff and was going to do the dyna ignition myself, but now I’m thinking I should replace the coils as well which might be beyond my expertise level. About much do you think a mechanic would charge me to do both? How many hours of labor do you think is reasonable? It’s a 75 honda CB 750. Thanks.

Hey Matt. Great video. I am suprise how sloppy that plate is considering it's function. U thought it would have been a more precise fit

I need cdi for Yamaha Rd 350 any suggestion where should I buy an which

Just ordered the same set for my 750, thanks alot. Also purchased your 750 rebuild video from gumroad, awesome stuff. Why do you isolate the coils ? On a stock 750 the coils touch the frame and are grounded that way ? Is it the same for my bike?

Dude, may seem like a dumb question but how do I know which tower on my dynatek mini coils goes to which cylinder? I know its 1/4 and 2/3 but which is which on each coil?

So how do you know what plug wire goes to which cylinder? I know you have one coil with 1-4 the other 2-3 but how do you determine the right firering order? I found out recently. It doesn't matter...as in a wasted spark doesn't matter.

hey matt really like your videos and how you go into detail when making them they help out a lot. how ever i just put this same dyna s ignition system on my 77 kz 1000 and i did exactly what you did, by setting it to the most advanced mark on the advance unit, and when i turn the advance to the fire mark my test light lights up like it should for both 1-4 coils and 2-3 coils, but the light stays on till i turn the crank all the way to just past the t mark. is this normal? or am i missing something here. any thing helps.

Is it accurate if you leave the ignition key in the on position for a minute or 2 the magnets will be fried?

Have you put a Dyna system on a 3 cylinder? How robust are the Dyna systems?

awesome video, thank so much. having a bad timing can make hard to start? or can it make it noisier? thanks

Just got my Dyna S and I'm debating whether I should install it myself or have a professional do it. From what I've seen it doesn't look that hard to do, there's just a couple things I'm confused about. That black wire with the white stripes that has hanging down the side of the engine, was that a wire that was already hooked up to the bike or did you connect that wire just to test the ignition timing? I know how to use my test light to check my points timing, but not with the Dyna. Was your test light touching the end of that black wire...and what was the other end of that wire hooked up to? (I know the clamp from the test light was hooked up to the battery.) Thanks. There's also that red wire you have to spice into the wire going into the coils, but I think I've got that part figured out.

Sure the cores of the coils aren’t grounded? Your bolts look like they’re going into the frame of the bike and the nuts/washed used on the other end aren’t insulated.

I want to get some dyna coils for my 95 gsxr 750w but I can’t seem to find all the parts for it, and this looks different than my engine

Hi Matt. I have an early '73 Z1. When I was looking on EBay for a Dyna electronic ignition, one seller suggested I needed a different crank rotor as my model fires at 5 degrees BTDC. Newer ones fire at 20 degrees. I'm no mechanic, but I dont understand this as I think you'd just set the timing to 5 degree mark. Is there really a need for a different rotar? Keep up the great work.

Hi Matt! I've got a quick question about the spark plug boots. Namely how do you connect the fresh cut dyna wire to the spark plugs? Did you re-use existing boots or buy new ones ect thanks! It would be really sweet if you could give me a link but, I understand if you can't find it / don't want to.

Do I need the coils Or can I install the ignition alone?

will this work on a 83 honda 750 thank you

I have a problem with the timing on my kz1000. So when I connect the test light to the negative terminal and connect that wire to the coil and touch the other end of the wire to the test light it immediately turns on, even without me rotating the rotor like you do. So idk how to time it bc the light from the test light is always turned on

Hi, Dyna ignition works in cb650 1980? I want to change all sistem (pulse generator, cdi, coils, wires). Thanks man!
