Kawasaki #3 Rotor will be sourced through Dynatek via phone call.
I'm building a 1978 kz400B1. This looks like the best solution
I love it. Fantastic detail and straight to the point. Well done!
Good video. I had a kz 440 Ltd and was about to do the same adaptation you implemented. I got lucky and found an original kz pick coils for like 20$ from a guy on marketplace so I didn't end up doing it but I did enjoy watching someone else with the same idea. I'm in the process of designing my own ignition system for these engines. It's actually not as hard as I initially thought.
No it really isn’t too bad. Especially once you break it down to the fact that all you are accomplishing is providing the signal for the coil to fire. Good luck 👍👍
good job....im using the "expensive" ignition....its working very well but i am looking for back up systems...great work
Yea I came across your video before with the electronic kit. Very nice bike. I just wanted to aim towards a cheaper alternative. Nothing wrong with either setup 🤙
Alot of people have been looking for an alternative..I appreciate your video...yours is about half the cost of the powerarc set up and their customer service fails
Thank you, I needed that. Now my sweety can get her ass rolling again, she's not happy sitting there in the corner. I'm about to post me making a manifold for my IDF 34 weber carb.
Thanks for the video, nice work there! I have trouble ordering the -3 rotor from Germany, is it possible to use the rotor included in the ds6-1 kit. It has two magnets glued in, but I'm not certain if the angle fits my kz400. Do you have any ideas to modify it accordingly?
I definitely would not use that rotor without modification. Anytime a magnet passes the pickup it will fire the spark plug and that would be bad. Maybe try drilling out one of your magnets onyour DS6-1 pickup otherwise try to source another single magnet pickup locally from another kit. It would have to be from a parallel twin or 4 cylinder likely. Hope this helps.
@@dannysmotoworx4354 I'll try removing one magnet. Thanks a lot
Just so I am clear, this completely deletes the IC Ignitor that comes on those bikes? The new ignition basically does double duty of the points and ignitor? That is slick
This is replacing the points on an older KZ440 which is before CDI. It could possibly be used for this setup since you are just using it as a “trigger” to fire the CDI
Hi bud, thanks for de video, this kit is compatible with the Kawasaki KZ 400 B1 (mod. 1978)?
Everything I’ve seen in my research is the 400 and 440 share most of the same parts so this setup should be nearly identical for your 400. 💪
@dannysmotoworx4354 Thanks bud, and nice bike!
Hey bro i have kz440 suddnly its plugs ignition currnt not coming i go to machanic he check nd told me it CDI unit not here but i using this bike almost 5 year i dont think its has CDI unit system l. So plz tell me whats the prblm why currnt not coming in plugs coil is working fine but plugs pulse not coming
what year KZ440 is it?? earlier to mid 80s they did switch over to CDI ignition so your mechanic may not be wrong..
@@dannysmotoworx4354 its 1981
Does the number 3 have two magnets? I bought one that says 3P and it seems to have two magnets inside it
The #3 rotor I got from Dynatek has a single magnet. You shouldn’t use one with two because every time a magnet passes the pickup it’s going to fire the spark plug. Who knows what part of the cycle that could happen
My 440 quits like turning off the key after riding about 10 miles. Takes a while but it will finally start and run great for about another 10 miles then it quits again. Cleaned tank and replaced the petcock and fuel line. New vacuum line but still the same thing. I think it's in my electronic ignition. Replaced the coil. Maybe it's the igniter or the pickup coil but can't find he parts at my Kawasaki dealers nearby, Anyone ever had this problem?
If it runs fine for that long and then shuts off and re-fires after sitting it is almost always going to be an electrical issue.
First, thank you for your reply. It quit on me yesterday and I hadn't gone a block. It cranked good but wouldn't start. I took my plug wrench out of my bag and pulled the plugs. Laid the plug on the engine pressed the starter button but no spark. I think it's either the igniter or the pickup coil breaking down. Electrical issue I agree but now to find the parts.
@@trainmaster0217 yep I would look at those two things next
Is it at all possible if you could redo the links? non of them are working
Sorry about that. Links should be all fixed up now
i m doing one from 1975 i dont have eléctric power , what you sugest
Sorry I don’t really understand your question. You don’t have a battery or the motorcycle isn’t producing power??
Does the KZ440 have resistor spark plug caps?
I’m not sure specifically. Any 90 degree NGK plug cap will work just fine
Do you think this will work on a 81 gs 450
You could definitely use the same principle and apply it to your application. Check with dynatek, though. They may have an out of the box ignition that will bolt right into place 👍
Will you post the part links in your video? I'm looking on the Dyna s website, but not sure which one to select. Thanks.
Thank for the reply. Please see the video description for links.
