Is the dana Ds2-1 the right part for my 82 ltd1000

and how does it install and adjust

Dyna-S from Z1E

Installation from KZR's FILEBASE

Good Fortune!

Is there something wrong w your stock ignition? The Kawasaki electronic ignition is supposed to be very reliable. The coils & spark plug wire set are what usually need to be replaced.

Second that - in fact, that's exactly my experience.

i have been told that the the stock is not adjustable advance and retard

True in its as shipped state. But you can change it manually.
Why do you need to change the advance curve, have you built a performance engine?
The Dyna S won't give you an adjustable curve either, you need a Dyna 2000, and then there are 4 curves to chose from.

yes stage 3 jets k&n air pods, vance and hines pipes and you can get better low end power with the adjustments

You can change the Factory set up real easy. You can open/ slot the screw holes where the plate bolts on. You can try different springs for the weights, even shorten the throw of the weights, drill them or add material. Its just like having a a old distributor, but with a Very Good electronic system.
