Dyna Coils- alternative wiring 5 Months, 1 Week ago  
Hi,
I am suspecting the ghost I have been chasing is due to resistor caps burning out my ignition coil. I picked up some Dyna coils, and the wiring diagram states you hook up one front and one rear cylinder off each outlet (Coil pack 1 feeds front and rear cylinder- and coil pack two feeds front and rear cylinder). From what I've read on here and what I've seen on you tube, they replace the coils with the same wiring as stock- (coil pack 1 runs both wires to cylinder 1- and coil pack #2 runs both leads to #2). The only reason I could think they would modify this with Dyna is to provide a pre-spark and stagger them slightly for more advance. Can anyone give me solid information on the way to wire these, and what type of fasteners did you use for the ilets? I don't like loctite on coils preferably. Also are 7mm wires enough? Thanks

There are different "Dyna Coils" so it would depend on what you bought.

I have Dyna's (DynaTech DC4-1 ) on my 99 R* and each COIL connects to a single jug (both coil spark plug wires to plugs in the SAME cylinder)

The DC4-1 was the ONLY correct part number for the 99 R* (2 years ago.) The igniter module on our bikes is designed to fire ONE coil (LEFT for FRONT, RIGHT for REAR) but provide spark to BOTH plugs (in a single cylinder) at the same time. Unless you have a 3rd party igniter, thats the way it should be wired.

Sounds like something wrong with the directions. I can't imagine any coils being hooked up like that. Could be that you might end up with a spark 48 degrees to early resulting in a bent rod.
