Coils

I am going to buy new coils for my Z1, either accel or Dyna.

Which would you recommend?

Which EI ignition plate/module you planning on?
Or are you staying with stock OEM points and condensers...

I already have a dyna-s ignition on it.

With my Dyna S I went for the Dyna Green coils (see my signature)... what an improvement in starting and running.

Best of success.
Bill

PS
IMHO, the WG Coil Re-powering modification... a huge improvement in reliability.

I've had a set of Accels on my KZ1000 for around 20 years without a single problem.

Either will do you fine so long as the primary resistance is correct.

I think the origional stock ones are pretty good too, except I don't think you can use them with the Dyna S, and thier alot more $$$.

Cheers.

Arrrrggggghhhhh "WG Coil Re-powering modification"...

Not required if he already has >+13 at the coil inputs.
Now Bill damn it.... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

i have both dyna and accel coils both work fine with the dyna's as far as stock coils go i use them on my 74 with a dyna 111 ignition plate and booster and have never had an issue with them in over 20,000 miles of reasonably hard riding. 1 st or 2nd kick every time.

It's OK OMR, don't be afraid of the big bad mod. It won't hurt you, I promise. :dry: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Think of it as a pre-emptive mod. or (and I'll never live this one down :pinch:) a prophylactic use of the WGCR-P mod. :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

All together now:
Mod-it,
Mod-it,
Mod-it,
Mod-it... :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Best of success,

PS
9 out of 10 back-yard-Kawasaki-mechanics agree that additional copper is an essential part of every Kawasaki's yearly intake.
Recommended dosage is 16 AWG. If effective, increase to 14 AWG. Maximum recommended dosage is 12 AWG. Not responsible for performance decrease due to weight increase beyond 12 AWG.
- Best when taken in conjunction with separate fusing.
- Minimum dosage is 5 Amp. Increase to 10 Amp if discoloration or redness occurs. Discontinue use if vaporization persists. Caution, do not attempt to return smoke into fuses once released!
- Stainless steel supplements are not contra-indicated.
Side effects may include:
- right leg muscle atrophy due to easier starting,
- facial skin tightness, wrinkles or deformation due to increased air speed have been reported.
- Jaw dropping acceleration may occur in some instances.
- May lead to loss of appetite due to increased protein intake caused by higher incidents of smiling and or laughing while riding. Increased attention to dental hygiene is recommended in these cases.
- May lead to leaner mixture and greener planet.
- May reduces or eliminate black dry sooty plugs.
- Discontinue or reduce use if flashing red and blue lights are seen to follow you.
- Never consult your local mechanic as this may lead to blurred vision, confusion, disorientation, and shortness of cash. In some rare instances this may also lead to unintended job offers.
- Report all side effect immediately to your fellow KZR members for immediate diagnosis.

Now that was some creative writing Bill.

well hell... You could have repaired the original non +13Vdc issue by the time you wrote all that....:blink: :laugh:

If I were a chick I'd call you cute OMR :kiss: You get worked up at the mention of the WGCM heh heh. Can we call replacing the old wiring the OMR mod?
