Not exactly as is. First, the Dyna S will take the place of the points, but it needs a switched power source.JohnLuke wrote: Can I use this diagram on my bike? What I mean is because I have the Dyna s system can I get rid of the ic igniter/cdi? I don’t want to buy another one.
Thanks!
The Dyna S will require 3 ohm coils. Your original coils would have been 2.3 ohm coils and are not recommended for the DynaS.
The regulator/rectifier most likely has a brown wire. That brown wire must go to a switched power source to sense the battery voltage when the bike is running. If not, you can fry the whole system.
You should probably have two brake light switches.
And it's always better to run dedicated ground wires to everything and run that back to where the battery cable connects to the engine. The frame for whatever reason doesn't tend to work out too well as a ground.
Just curious, why do you have two diagrams posted?
Are they different?

Oh okay. I understand that the dyna s replaces the points but does that mean I still need the ic igniter? I’m just asking ahead of time so I can get an idea. I really apprecitate the help. Goodness knows I need it. I’ll definatly need the help with the wiring.
Thanks!

An ic igniter is a component of a factory electronic ignition that does not have points.

But as I mentioned earlier you need to know what coils you have. So what coils do you have?
Also, is there a brown wire on your regulator/rectifier? If so, you need to address that (as I detailed earlier) or you will fry the Dyna S in no time.
So no, you can't necessarily just follow that wiring diagram you posted. It is incomplete.
Do you have the rotor for the Dyna S? If not, you will need that.
There should be a diagram showing how to wire a Dyna S specifically for a Kz. You can download it from Dyna or probably get it from Google. Either way, you probably want to google it so you can get tips on how to avoid the pitfalls of the Dyna S. There must be dozens of posts on Kzrider related to the Dyna S.
Your diagram shows points, and is very vague on that anyway, so no that diagram won't really help you. You need the Dyna S diagram. But ignoring the regulator issue will get you stranded.

The rotor is installed so that the embedded magnet passes the left side pickup module when the F1/4 mark aligns with the case mark.

When the embedded rotor magnet passes by the left side pickup module, the ground connection from the ignition coil is interrupted, which loss of ground causes the ignition coil to fire both outside spark plugs.
When the embedded rotor magnet passes by the right side pickup module, the ground connection from the other ignition coil is interrupted, which loss of ground causes that ignition coil to fire both inside spark plugs.
It's comparable to a points system where opening of the points is what interrupts the ignition coil's ground connection.
