johnautobus Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Has anyone had experience trying to set up their own ignition curves with the dyna fs software and a computer? What do you need besides the cdi box? Quote
baddboyy21 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 I have the programmable Dyna, but I havent purchased the software to do my own curves yet. I just use the 4 curves that are pre-set. I havent decided which one of the pre-sets works best . Quote
bradrs Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) Has anyone had experience trying to set up their own ignition curves with the dyna fs software and a computer? What do you need besides the cdi box? I've had a little experience programming curves with that ignition In order to program it, you need the ignition, a computer that runs at least Win 95 or newer version of Windows, and the programming kit. The kit consists of a cable and software for the computer, and runs around $200. Brad Electronics Engineer Dynatek Edited April 29, 2004 by bradrs Quote
baddboyy21 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Hey Bradrs Since you obviously have a lot of experience. What pre-set curve is best for my application? I basically ride fast trails and open dirt roads. You can see all my mods below. I have the Dyna Fs ignition but do not have the computer software yet. Quote

I basically ride fast trails and open dirt roads. You can see all my mods below. I have the Dyna Fs ignition but do not have the computer software yet. I'd have a tough time saying what will work best on a modded one, without actually trying it out. And I haven't tried out a lot of mod combos. We sell to several performance shops that do the dyno work with all the different mods. They would be a much better resource for how an engine with your mods will respond. Especially when you are talking about modified heads etc. With that said, I'd suggest trying curve 3 out. Here is a screenshot from the programming software, so you can see the 4 curves that come preprogrammed in the ignition. Curve 3 is setup to carry the timing and should give you a little more pull in the mid-high rpm range. But it would be worthwhile for you to try all the curves out, and see which one works best for you. Then if/when you do get the software, you can look at that curve, compare it to the others in the software vs. how they performed on the quad, and get an idea of what part of the curve you want to adjust.
