Dyna S ignition Question

I'd get them from Z1e if I could. I like solid wires and non resistor caps.

The coils I have currently are standard GPZ1100 which measure 2.6ohm on primary

Throw a 1 ohm ballast resistor in series with the coil.

The metal-core Dyna plug wires come with non-resistor caps already built in, which I prefer along with standard B8ES non-R spark plugs, for zero resistance in the secondary loop, and which does introduce noise in radio reception (if that's a concern).

Patton, we have very strict laws on radio/ TV reception (although you wouldn't think so with some bikes that go past) so we have to have resistive loads for suppression. I might stick with the caps and solid wire for now

Nessism, some times I feel like an idiot and don't see the obvious, you are correct I could use a ballast resistor. I just bit that bullet I was talking about and ordered a set of 3ohm Dyna coils. I just wish I had the brain switched ON before I did that.

As likely already known, don't combine both resistor plug wires and resistor plug caps, as the combination creates too much resistance in the secondary loop, which results in a much weakened spark.

Only mentioned because of vaguely recalling some reference to carbon plug wires in an earlier post.

Good Fortune!

Be proud of yourself for doing it the RIGHT way , per Dyna guidelines.

But will confess to having lucked out when the squadron of black helicopters was hovering overhead and would have probably caught me red-handed with my zero resistance secondary loops, until they had to back off because all their sensitive electrics somehow went haywire. :woohoo: :lol: :lol:

I did mention that my Z1R has carbon / resistive leads and the GPZ has resistive caps, I don't use both systems together.
