Dyna S - recommended coils

[78wing]

I wanted to pass along some information I got from talking with Dynatek. For those using the Dyna S system for GL1000, the recommended coils are the DS10-1 (5.0 ohms).

Correction - I was about to order the DC-10-1 coils but noticed that they only have one terminal. I called again and the correct coils should be DC8-1. These coils come with ballast to replace the stock ballast.

I use, & carry the DC1-1 (3 ohm). The instructions included with the unit, recommends using OEM ballast resistor with points, & no resistor with an electronic ignition.

There doesn't seem to be a simple answer to this one - Dyna tech support recommend the 5ohm coils but it seems like several forum members have run the 3ohm coils without any problems.

Can anyone comment?

I agree with Frenchy...3 ohm coils are recommended.

I have asked both Accel and Dyna to review their conflicting recommendations regarding whether one should retain, omit or change the ballast when using aftermarket coils with Dyna S.

Part of the discrepanancy may be that Dyna is making some sort of fuzzy distinction between their 3 ohm and 5 ohm coils.

But, the fact is that most suppliers stock the 3 ohm coils.

Thanks Frenchy and Randakk for the replies - I will go with your advice over the company's recommendations!

I will be running Dyna S ignition and so will run DC1-1 coils (3 ohm) with no ballast.
