Evening...
New to the board here... I was wondering if anyone here had seen , used or had an opinion on the C5 electronic ignition kit (link below). I have recently acquired a 74 kz400 and need some spark.. Is this worth the $$ ? I dont mind spending some as I got the bike for a song .. Im thinking it may be easier to dial in and better in the long run than fooling with the OEM system ?? Im sure i could be wrong though ..... Thoughts ?

Dynatek doesn't list anything specifically for the KZ400, whereas C5 Performance does & it's made in USA. :)

I don't know anything about the C5, but my guess is that it operates on the same principle as the Martek optical LED ignition system. Someone over at the KZ650.Info site said he's been running a 1st gen martek for years & swapping it between motorcycles. I'd guess the C5 is good, but that's just a guess.
