And i recentlyput a specially designed electronic unit on the yam and gained peace of mind and about 10 percent more power ,,no misses ,,,no backfiring ,,, just jump on fire up and ride with a grin from ear to ear ... Of course the yam unit was designed by my club president who is a well known wizz of these bikes in developing motors rephased motors choppers cafes' etc can anybody help me as i ponder ,,,,, mature body ,,but a boy racer,,,at heart regards david from kaniva australia

gs1000e electronic ignition....

gs1000e electronic ignition....

thanks for your reply ,,,,,i should have been more foreth coming.. ,,, when i did have the left side of the crankcase to replace springs ,rollers and small hardened caps in the starter clutch .. i did notice thewires were hard ... and well aged ... but the bottom line was i was hoping the was a better ignition than what it has ...... i,ll take your advice on board regards david from kaniva ...
 
That's not the ignition under the the left cover - that's the stator (generator)

The stator is a known weak spot on these bikes - see the Stator Papers

The ignition is under the small round cover on the right side of the bike.

No one makes a programmable one that I know of (and I don't know why you'd want one)

There's a Dyna S should your's fail - but it's generally the ignitor that goes bad

Are you having ignition problems?
