Vivek is a newbie and yep he would have no idear about a z900, When Gos is around he will put in his 10 cents worth and it will be from experience.

CAMPBELLTOWN MOTORCYCLES on Blaxland Road, you can check out Sandy Harbutt's bike (He who made Stone the Movie) tell them Eric sent you, you'll probably get laughed at first but then they'll take of you

Sounds like an electrical problem with the coil for 2&3. A Dyna S ignition needs coils with a specific resistance - 3 ohms to be specific.

It is also possible that the Dyna ignition is stuffed, wouldn't be the first and won't be the last.

I would change the entire ignition system back to OEM ignition coils, Igniter box and igniter coils. These are pretty much as reliable as the sun coming up each morning.

Sounds like 2 of us have come up with the same possibilitys,at least we are consistant.

agree 100% mate - most of these issues are always found to be electrical.....
