i installed my dyna ignition coils,wires,pickups,plugs and changed my oil the other day and now i seem to be getting a top end noise more like a tick sounds like its coming from exhaust side but cant tell for sure. i know when i changed the plugs i got br8es instead of b8es didn't think it would make a difference, was i wrong? or should i use a higher octane fuel. i plan on doing a compression test when i get home from work just to see if i might have a warn valve seat that might need a thinner shim any other ideas or suggestions?

Do you still have stock wires and caps on the plugs?

The stock wires are suppressor-type wires. The stock caps are resistor-type caps. The stock plugs are non-suppressor (resistor) plugs.

All of these items are available as "resistor" or "suppressor" types, you only need ONE of them to be so.

If you have stock RESISTOR caps and your new RESISTOR plugs (that is the R in the BR8ES), you need to change one of them.

Cam end float? Mine started doing that recently and goes away after it's all warmed up.

i have aftermarket dyna 7mm wires. im not sure wich they are when we put them together it was just a wire that i had to cut and crimp the caps on then slid the rubber over them
 
I agree with Tom, an exhaust leak often sounds like a tick.

The Dyna wires are "suppressor" type, which means they have resistance in them and don't need resistor caps. I think you should use regular, not resistor, plugs...although either way, I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with the problem at hand.

Let's see, ... suppressor wires, either stock or NGK caps (you don't say which), both of them are suppressor style, AND resistor plugs. :-k

i dont know what kinda caps they are they came with the dyna kit ... i only got the resistor plugs cause thats all the parts store had, i will go get some none resistor plugs... but i have a new problem i shut my bike off at the gas station and it wouldnt turn over like the battery was dead .. i guess im of to bikecliff's site to read up on charging system health while my battery is on the trickle charger.. lately this bike is giving me alot of problems 1 thing after another truly testing my patients :(

Yup, 30 year old bikes need lots of maintenance.

Please check the Newbie Mistake thread linked in my signature to see if you have overlooked anything...

Good luck

tkent02 An exhaust leak can sound like that how do i check for a exhaust leak i cant feel anything with my hands i dont think it is a exhaust leak but worth investigating to find out
 
its came end float it comes and goes gonna rebuild the tensioner and see if it helps get rid of the annoying ticky tick tock sound i occasionally hear at the intersection

That's why we stress going through the maintenance lists in the "mega-welcome" and properly addressing every item. Most of the time you will buy a 30 year old bike that needs at least 20 years worth of maintenance.

To get you started:

Connect the three stator output wires directly to the r/r input wires, bypassing that useless loop of wire that runs up to a non-existent headlight switch on the handlebars. Connect the ground wire from the r/r directly to the negative terminal of the battery. Clean all electrical connections and grounds, fuse box, connectors, bulb sockets, battery terminals, solenoid, everything.

Use a Shindengen r/r unit (see list in the "compatible" link below, purchase used one from eBay), and a stator from either Caltric (eBay seller) or Rick's Electrics.
