    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I tried searching for this, but for some reason I keep getting errors with the search function..

Does anyone have any info on this? Most of the stuff I read seems like it is for the 4cyl motors. I have not seen much for a 2cyl motor.

If it is possible for the 2cyl. motors does anyone have a link to what CDI / coils I would need for my bike? And how hard is the swap for it?
 
One catch with an '88 GS450... you have electronic advance.

The Dynatek DS3-3C is designed for the earlier 450's that have a mechanical advance unit, so there is no advance built into these.

You could retrofit the advance mechanism from an earlier 450, but I think you'd be better off getting a GS500 ignition setup.

The 450 coils should work with the 500's ignitor so you should just need the signal generator and ignitor from pretty much any GS500 as far as I'm aware...

I think the very new models are a bit different and only have one pickup but if you're buying on eBay the pic's should highlight this.

I personally haven't seen one myself...
 
No probs mate, got your PM and replied so hopefully that helps... good luck and post pic's!
 
Would this unit work on an 81 450L without any serious changes?

Does your bike have a mechanical advance? There is a manual over at Bass Cliffs website. Make sure your bike looks like the picture below. There are two plates that rotate out as the motor spins operating again as the small springs. That is mechanical advance. On more modern bikes there is a small chip in the ignitor that performs that function electronically.

The only manual is a Clymer that I see and this is the page that shows a mechanical advance. So the Dyna-s as Pete described should work. Contact Dynatech they can help.

Yes it *should* but you need to confirm as per Jim's post.

You will need the spacer they provide with some of their other kits though as the Dynatek rotor is shorter than the stock rotor... speak to Dynatek, they will know what you're talking about :)
