2001 kz1000p
Id like to put a dyna ignition or whatever is the least complicated ignition to put on these bikes. Has anyone done this and have opinions or info on it?

Hi Chris,

A Dyna S is a great option.  Tried and true...www.dynaonline.com/dyna-s-ignition-syste...0-kz1000-1100-ds2-1/

Agree can’t go wrong with a Dyna “S” easy install in pretty much set it and forget it. 

The 2001 KZ-P did not come with points.

Good catch. 

Yup shows how much I know lol thanks for pointing that out before I spent the money 

So what would you all recommend as far as a tune up on the ignition system that it has then?

also just realized it’s a 2000 kzp I had the year wrong if that changes anything

What are the symptoms that prompted the question? Poor ignition can be caused by either or all electrical, carb and mechanical issues. 

I’m just trying to get ahead on it. It came to me as a skeleton so I got carbs from Ness for it and I’ve got the 4-2-1 exhaust for it. Now I wanna get the ignition set up for its best chances and do the wiring and it’ll be time to start it then it’s off to an engine builder/tune shop while I finish up the frame wheels and paint

The factory system is pretty bullet proof, but age and abuse can cause problems.

I would count on replacing the spark plugs. Stick with the factory recommendations, bought from a reputable dealer. There has been a rash of fake NGK plugs selling on the internet.
Visually inspect the coils and secondary wires. If you see cracks in either, or if the coils are swollen, or the wires are stiff, replace them. Once you get a new, fully charged battery, you can test for full voltage to the coils.  Corrosion slowly attacks connectors, wires and switches, and it will slow the flow.
The factory service manual for the civilian KZ1000, 1981-1983, will cover quite a bit of your cop bike, but it would be a good idea to keep searching the internet for the police supplement that covers the 2000 KZ1000-P19. The supplement will have the specifics for your exact bike.
Here is a link to the civilian manual

Wait so does the 2000 use points? 

Kz1000P uses a "J" motor I believe so has electronic ignition and ic ignitor. 

I should really look at my manual before asking questions   no where in my manual does it show timing points

so pretty much I’m gonna get new coils, wires and plugs

sorry for a wasted thread
