    Haven't really seen much info on this. Is there a reason for that? Dyna s2000 dkk71(I think) says it's for fj1100 or older 4 cylinder motorcycles comes with a sort of programmable computer...
    I got a dyna s ds2-1 for my kz but it has a mechanical advance. Is that why I can't just run a dyna s on the xj?
    Any info would be awesome.
    I wanna make the trade cause my ignitor got stupid wet and now the ignition is choppy.

    This is a topic that comes up every few years.
    Part of why it's not discussed very often is that the original TCI units were built very well, and can be repaired.

    tci-upgrade-options.93295

    Start with that thread. There are others, but that one covers most of what you seek.
    Dyna wants a lot of money to make an old motorcycle have sparks.

    Repaired you said? Can you elaborate?
    Yeah they want 4 or 5 times what a tdi costs (hmmm so tossing the old ones was a bad idea huh?)
    Also thank you for always responding to my idiocy. I can't thank you enough for everything yall do on this site. Wouldn't have 400k miles on my frame without the help you have provided.
