Key features

  • Regular sparkThe Dynatek DS61 electronic unit replaces points and capacitors to modernise the ignition of vintage motorcycles and promote a more reliable spark.
  • Durable Hall sensorsThe Hall effect magnetic sensors resist dirt and oil. They remain insensitive to RPM variations to maintain a regular spark.
  • Targeted compatibilityDesigned for Sportster, Big Twin, roadsters and compatible touring bikes. A 5-ohm coil is required for road use; also check the mechanical advance according to the model.

Features

DS61 Electronic Ignition Module by Dynatek

The DS61 is a standalone electronic ignition system designed to replace points and condensers on vintage, roadster, and touring motorcycles. Its Hall effect magnetic sensors are resistant to dirt and oil, providing a more consistent and reliable spark. Its design simplifies the ignition upgrade for compatible Sportster and Big Twin models.


Installation and Mounting

  • Replacing points and condensers simplifies the ignition system upgrade.
  • The straightforward mounting is suitable for installation by either a DIY enthusiast or an experienced mechanic.
  • For road use, a 5-ohm coil is required to ensure the system operates correctly.
  • OEM coils are not recommended with this module, necessitating verification of the coil used before installation.
  • An aftermarket 5-ohm coil or an original points coil from early Shovelhead models is required depending on the motorcycle's configuration.
  • On certain models from 1984 to 1999, a centrifugal advance mechanism is required to ensure proper ignition function.
  • For XL models from 1986 to 2003 and Big Twin models from 1980 to 1999, a mechanical advance unit is necessary for installation.
  • Product reference DS6-1 and Product reference DC7-1

Usage and Performance

  • The Hall effect magnetic sensors remain unaffected by RPM variations to maintain a more consistent spark.
  • The sensors' resistance to dirt and oil promotes reliable operation within the engine compartment.
  • Adjusting the advance by less than three degrees helps optimise combustion without specifying a quantified gain.
