HOW TO INSTALL A DYNA 2000i IGNITION SYSTEM / THE EASY WAY
Vložit

- Ignition systems are a very important factor when getting your bike to perform properly. They are often overlooked, and I feel an opportunity missed if they are not improved upon. This is especially important for the pre 2000 Harley motorcycles. Twin Cams etc can also make gains by changing computers and different systems to make them better.
But for the pre 2000 machines, in my opinion, there are none better than the Dyna Systems. The Early Weight Driven systems and the Later Electronic Cup driven design are both great. Either type can be used throughout the years, for which ever your pocket book dictates. I have rarely seen any fail, throughout the years I have been using them, and they remain a very easy system for the "Average Guy" to install, with a little help. Hopefully I can shine a little light on the subject and pass on a little of what I know about it, as I do this installation. I Hope you enjoy.

Great video Ralph, now we know what goes with what, thanks again. 😁
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Good video and very informative ...
Thank you for the comment. Appreciated.
Started installing this on our 78 tonight and came here for a good lesson. Thank you.
Hopefully the video will help you out a bit. Thanks for commenting.
Awesome video very helpful and educational. Thank you.😊

Glad you liked it and thanks for commenting.
Awesome.
Thanks so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Great 👍🏻 vid !
Glad you found it informative. They are not rocket science, like some would have you believe, but they just need to be installed right. Flip a few switchs and away you go. Dyna's are great ignition systems. Thanks for the commenting!
@itsmytimeletsgo it's nice 2 see someone take the time 2 give there wisdom and knowledge on those areas
I have an old shovelhead I'm bringing back 2 life and didn't want 2 pester anyone I just need 2 get the lead out and get her running
Thanks and keep doing videos

It is so nice to know that I am able to help some people along the way with their journey and their love of the old machines. Thanks for taking the time to comment.@@shovelheadpec
One of the best ignition modules out there in my opinion
I agree! Thanks for commenting
Could you help I would like too now what the rev limiter sounds like is it like gun fire or dose it just kill the power like the stock unit if you could help that would be ace
@@gwizzfpv6741 I have not run any to the red line limit but I think it would be like the engine breaking down, cracking and poping. I suppose it may be like gunfire as you described. I do not think it just shuts off. Good question! Maybe others have a comment on this.
Ace many thanks
@@gwizzfpv6741 You are welcome.
Another topic I will be glad to have access to 👍🏻
Keep it up👏🏻
Quick and easy. Glad you enjoyed it Barry. Thanks for commenting.
Wow, this is a great, straight forward video, thank you so much! I have a 1985 (Ironhead) Sportster with an older Dyna 2000P ignition installed when I bought it, and now a no spark issue. The battery, coil, plugs, wires, ignition switch have all been replaced so I'm thinking the module may be fried (the red LED light on the module does not flash when ignition is turned on). The Dyna 2000P ignition I have has an external module mounted to the frame with the lights and 5 advance curve switches on that module. There are no switches or LED lights in the nose cone where you adjust the advance. If I understand you correctly, the new 2000i ignition module in the nose cone will take the place of/bypass the frame mounted module I have? So if I purchase the new 2000i module, I can I discard the old frame mounted module? I appreciate any and all advice. Signed, an old tinkerer just trying to understand this new tech.
Thanks for the question. You are correct that you can throw the rest away and use the 2000i. You already should have the gold ignition cup, and pretty sure you would already be using a 3 ohms coil. So you should be good to go. You will Love it! they preform extremely well and easy to install. Good Luck !! Thanks for commenting.
Hey man great video made me feel confident. Question though, would there be a way to get on a phone call with you and try to troubleshoot my 2000i. I’m having an issue with intermittent spark, after install it started and ran excellent for about 1 minute then died, now it won’t start again.
Hi you should double check all connection points, and make sure its wired up right. If it is a new unit, then I would be looking at the coil. They will break down as soon as they get warm. Did you have any issues before you installed it with your old system? If it is a used dyna I have seen the same thing happen with a bad unit. Could be a varity of things. When it quits you can put a test lead on the positive side of the coil to see if it still has power to the system as well. Check with key on and key off. Could be wiring issue there as well. You can contact me through my email that is posted on my channel. Thanks for the question.
Great video.... On a dual fire for a 89 evo, what ohm coil is needed... Is it 5 ohm or 3 ohm...?..
Dual or single fire is 3 ohm for the Dyna electronic system. If you use the older Dyna type (using the mechanical weights in behind) then that would be a 5 ohm coil. Thanks for the question. Hope that helps you out. Thanks for commenting.
What would be good to carry on my bike in the event of a system failure? I’m running stock dual fire on my 1999 Springer Softail and have spares including timing module.
Well thats a hard one. A set of points and weights would be about the only sure fire way to get home if need be, if you know how to set them up (you would need a tool to open the timing window plug as well.) Sound like you have things covered with spare parts though. I would ditch the stock system and upgrade to a Dyna to end your worries. Good luck. Thanks for the question.
Keep those videos comin !!! One question how well do they work with a kickstart.
when set up correctly and fuel system right it makes a kick start bike very easy to live with ...
The are excellent for a kickstart bike, especially when they are single fire. Trying to keep up and keep em coming.Sometimes its hard when you do it all yourself. But I will keep trying. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Yes I agree. The are great for kickstart bikes. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for posting. I’m looking at picking up a 90 evo with dual plugs but the guy isn’t using all 4 plugs. I found this model dyna tek online but it has coils with 2 wires per coil. What changes? More wires? Their instructions are trash.
There are many different combinations to look for. The ignition system has a bearing on it as well 3 ohm (electronic like Dyna2000i) or 5 ohm like Dyna S. Single or dual fire as well. One pulg terminal is for Single fire, single plug, and two plug terminals are for Dual fire, dual plugs. 2 wires per coil is usually for single fire. One is a jumper between coils on the hot side, the other goes to the ignition signal for the front or rear coil respectivly. Do your research and make sure you are matching the right components together.
You can always run it as normal with just a plug in the second hole.
Here is a link that might help you identify some coils. (just type in in "bike type" anthing close, and it should give you choices and specs info) Good Luck!

Thanks for the question and commenting.
@@itsmytimeletsgo cheers bud
Very nice video. Why not run single fire mode?
Pretty sure I did exactly that. You might have missed it . You can check the video around the 8 minute mark. Thanks for commenting.
Can you do this with the Twin Power Ignition Coil For Harley Sportster 1200S 1998-2003
Part #10066584 on “RevZilla” or would I need to get another coil pack to run this rev limiter
Not sure there but it would depend on the year, and model, of you Sporster. The Sporster S is different than other models, connections are different, so check your coil attachment points to see if its wired or plug in type. Thanks for the question.
How do you put a Dyna 2000i on a 2004 Big Dog with an EHC New RIP system that I just installed?
I I think you could run one. I am not familiar with that EHC system but from what I can see in a quick check it is for controlling your electrics. Any Big Dog I have worked on here had a Dynatech or S&S type ignition in them. If your has such, in the nose cone, I do not see why you could not run the 2000i. But I am no expert...just going by past experience here. Remember the Dyna is wired directly to the coil, or coils. It is only fed 12 volts from the ignition on, and or kill switch. It does not affect anything else in the system. Power from your kill to the coil is usually a grey wire but could be anything on that bike or system. Thanks for visiting the channel. Let me know how you make out.
Does the white wire get 12v switched or 12v constant
The white wire should be powered when the switch is on, not directly constant. Thanks for the question and commenting.
Do you have to have an ignition cup for dual fire?
If you mean the 83 up gold cup, yes I have one here.
The only problem I had with that system is it’s not good if your bike is kick only. It’s has “dead strokes” programmed into it to protect the starter. The motor has to turn over 3 times before the plugs fire. I found this out the hard way trying to start my shovel.
I agree that the weighted systems are better for kick only bikes, because of their design. I have metnioned this in a few of my videos. Thanks for taking the time to comment about this.
Thanks for video ? if i may ask do i need an different cup to go from Duel fore to single fire coil .? . or are the cups the same Thanks in advance
The gold cup will work for either or .. it doesn't matter but has to be the 83 up GOLD CUP. Thanks for the question and commenting.
@@itsmytimeletsgo ok Thanks ...my bike an 2000 1200 Sportster .I dont have an Gold cup so my need to order one but my old Duel fire coils test good so trying to keep it ....But ignition Module going bad bike runs for 5 min to 30 mins & just dies & getting worst ... leaving me stranded till maybe 5 mins to 60 mins later & it re fire so I have an new programmable Ignition going in today as I speak Thanks again
I am sure you will like the new system. Be sure to follow instructions for 2000 sporster, seems to me you hook us 3 wires specifically for those. There is a great video at czcams.com/video/WzoIw39c9Kc/video.html that you may find helpful as well for your model. Thanks for commenting.@@jmead6121
@@itsmytimeletsgo Thanks
You are welcome!@@jmead6121
👍😎👍.
Thanks Jerry. Glad you enjoyed it!
Why didn't you pull out the timing plug and check the timing marks for TDC?
Check the video out at 12:08 and you will see I do talk about the timing marks. Sometimes things can be missed if the whole video is not watched. Thanks for the question.
@@itsmytimeletsgo Thanks for the quick reply. I have been running the Dyna for at least 15 years. I thought you'd have shown tdc at the beginning of the video instead of the pop test at cylinder one. I stopped watching the video when you ran the wiring for the twin coils. Either way, it was my fault for not watching the video to the end. Great job of explaining how to install the Dyna.
@@MrXYZ-uv4gj No problem. Thanks!
I can't find anywhere that describes why we cannot connect the dyantek wires directly to the existing deutsch connector under the bike instead of having to run the dynatek wires all the way up to the coil? I even called dynatek to ask and the guy on the phone didn't seem to know either. Mine is really simple as its a '99 sportster 1200C so there are only three wires needed from the dynatek unit, all of which are already located in the deutsch connector at the bottom of the bike.
I cannot say for sure either. If the connector is leading directly to the coil wires then I do not see why it wouldn't work. Good luck and do let us know how you make out. I am sure others would be interested in this as well. Great question ! Thanks for putting it out there. Always learning new things...
Confirmed, you can wire it into the existing OEM plug. (2002 Sportster, VOES retained)
Nice! I ended up just routing the dynatek all the way up and plugging the original connector under the bike.
@@BlueSkies1384 Thanks for letting us know how you made out.
@@Parker_Fuller Great info for others. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to comment on this.
Good video. Had to replace a faulty Super Stock ignition in a new S&S 111 EVO. It had a silver pickup cup. For the 2000i be sure to use a Gold pickup cup, not silver. It’s in the instructions.
You are exactly right. Its a small mistake that many make. Thanks for commenting.
I don't like. Not made for kick start... I use s&s single fire. Amazing 👍😉
Each to their own for what you like. Thats what keeps it interesting. The Dyna weight system type is better for older kickers I think. Thanks for commenting.
Favoloso video ben fatto e giusto nei passaggi....ti ringrazio caro amico Americano x il tuo tutorial....un grande saluto da Italia 🤗
Not a shovelhead, bought the same unit for a 78 . I promise you it will not work on a shovelhead, you have to have them program it , otherwise nothing but a paper weight.
To bad you have had a bad experience with the Dyna. I prefer the Dyna "S" for shovels, especially kick start models, but I have installed the Dyna 2000i's in them with no problems, with electric start. Thanks for input and commenting.
