voltage was checked before and after mod with engine not running - and improvement in voltage noted as in previous post - no load on anything - therefore sdditional load taken by Dyna S - is irrelevant as its only there when running.
Not true. The Dyna S uses full current to the coils whether the engine is running or not as long as the ignition is turned on.
As I said, with the Dyna S, the relay mod will definitely show an improvement since the Dyna S uses almost twice the average current as the stock points setup, and even more if the coils are 3 ohm.

No point in debating this any further - as i said my intention was to point out its a good mod - you obviously have an issue with either the mod itself or its origin - either way it worked well for me - if it helps others then all the better -

With the Dyna S, you could probably just hard wire the coils to the battery since the Dyna will shut them off when the igition is off. Same is true with the Kaw elec.ign. You really only need the mod with points.

i still havn't done the coil mod do you think my kz1000r would benefit?
or is it for the older zed's.
Kano, disconnect your hot wire from your battery, then unplug your coils from the yellow/red wire. Set the switches to ON and RUN and then connect an ohmmeter to the hot terminal, and to the coil terminal.
If the resistance reads zero, or near zero then the coil mod will do nothing for you. It eliminates resistance in the circuit to the coils by installing new wires.

The most common culprits are the kill switch, fuse holders, ignition switch, connectors, then the wires themselves, probably in that order.

As I said, I've recommended WG's mod before and I'm sure I will again.
This is the only degree I use every day.
