I have been searching, but can't find success. 1977 gl1000, lower mileage, with Dyna s ingnition. I have the engine out out for other work and notice the insulation on the power supply to the Dyna module is damaged from heat. I saw a reference to this issue but not a cure or explanation.
Is this typical?
Is this OK?
Power to the module is 12v from the fusebox.
Engine ran fair before carb rebuild, haven't re- installed yet.
Comments or links to discussiom would be helpful.

Re: Dyna s 12v supply wire melted
That is a long wire. Have a photo or two of your problem ?

Re: Dyna s 12v supply wire melted
If you are drawing enough current to melt insulation on that supply wire, then a couple of things could be suspect. The module itself might be problematic and drawing excessive current. Could also be poor connection/termination near the heat concentration. (I'd be looking at that first).

Re: Dyna s 12v supply wire melted
Thanks guys, no I havent a decent picture of the damage because its easier to to feel than see. I'm not familiar with Dyna s yet so I'm not moving anything. Discovered the Dyna when I tried to check the points to improve the spark. Damage is 2 inches from the unit. Can't seem to find decent installation instructions online. Randakks link leads to sales page at Dynatek.
I'll keep searching, I'm sure it's out there.

Re: Dyna s 12v supply wire melted
Thank you GLtriker, that is exactly what I needed. I was reading about different ballast resisters yesterday, but now I can look with renewed clarity at how it was put in originally. This installation has a 12v lead directly from the fuse box clipped behind a glass fuse end. Maybe I'll put some proper bullet connectors to the turn signal relay.
p.s. when I come to Baldwinsville to visit my uncle maybe I could buy you a cup of coffee sometime.

Family in B'ville, eh? Small world! Yes, we can work out a plan to visit when the Spring arrives again
Here's links to 2 separate Dynatek technical publications.
One that applies to GL1000 Dyna S installation .
https://www.mpsracing.com/instructions/ ... /DS1-3.pdf
The second to a GL1000 Dyna S troubleshooting guide.
https://www.mpsracing.com/instructions/ ... esting.pdf
Need any photos re: correct routing of the Dyna cable assembly from the Dyna S assembly, to the primary lead connectors under the rubber boot, let me know.
Insulation damaged 2 inches from the Dyna S might have been caused by an exhaust leak?
These photos may be helpful too . (Yes, two different Dyna S installs on my trike's engine. )

Re: Dyna s 12v supply wire melted
Yup, exhaust leak has merit, the damage is on the outside of the lower curve, closest the the header.
