KZ750E Dynatek ignition wiring

Need help. I can’t seem to find an answer in previous threads. I’m trying to wire a new Dynatek ds2-2 into my ‘81 KZ750E.
I’ve pulled the old one all the way to the connector shown in pics. I’m unsure how to proceed in connection. Do I bypass the igniter and go straight into the coils or do I splice into the connector.

Wiring is by far my weak point and I don’t wanna mess it up.

thank you

The Dyna-S is designed to connect directly to the coils.  You need to remove the factory ignitor box is you're using the Dyna-S.  Did the kit not come with instructions?  There is a wiring diagram with the instructions.

Edit: pdf download for the manual.

Also, why are you removing the stock ignition?  The Dyna-S was really intended as an upgrade for bikes that originally came with points.  The factory electronic ignition seems to be considered as good or better than the Dyna-S.

DOHC,  if it's wired directly to the coils there will be no advance capability will there?  I thought that was one of the ignitors functions. It's been a while since I've messed with an engine with an ignitor ignition. 

Z1000J2 somewhat modified!

Dyna-S requires a mechanical advance unit, which the early 750/4 has.

You have to fit the old style mechanical advancer with Dyna S
Nessism you type faster than me
