Can you tell me if the dg5 has one or dynatek,High Lifter...etc Will the one that works for the 650 prarie work or...I have seen where somebody put a highlifter on but dont know which one it was...Prefer teh dynatek

 

I asked the forum basically this same question recently, and concluded from the posters' comments that cutting into the wiring harness to install the dg module may bring problems with Kawasaki invalidating the warranty.

With the CDI, you just take out the stock CDI and put in Dynatek's, plug and play. If you need to take it back to the dealer, just swap your original back in the machine. I do not see this as unethical as the machine runs better with the dyna.

The only reason not to just go with the Dyna and be done with it, is that the CDI is more expensive than the dg. There are 4 different CDI's for the Prairies, BF, so make sure of what you are ordering (it's easy).

I'm a little confused if I helped you or not.....ask the forum again if I didn't get your question.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

yes you did help me...I spoke with raymond from dynatek today about the dyna... he wasnt sure if it would work with the 650... the money isnt a problem and you are right about the warrenty..I am sure that it will...Which one will i need to use for the BF 650 though..Have you done it or anybody that you know of...I know that htey have one for the 750...maybe the prarie 650 is the same i am not sure just dont want to do something that is wrong and waste 250$...

thanks alex

 

Kawiyowee,
Can you be more informative on where and who offers 4 different cdi's?

 

My 2004 Prairie 700 just blew a CDI. I take it easy on the machine, only putting 924 miles in 122 hours on it. I can't believe something like that can cost so much, $400 - $450 I was quoted. Unfortunately the warrantee expired in December so I'm stuck with the bill, I guess. The only thing it seems to be effecting is the Belt light is staying on so until I can get an aftermarket one I'll just get used to the light being on.
Is this a common problem with these machines and if so, maybe Kawi is making a faulty product.

 

The BF 650 is the same as the '03 P650 except for the plastic from what I have read. Therefore, I would think you need the CDI designed for the '03 P650. That CDI is also the same as what I have ordered for my '05 P700. Scott at Dynatek confirmed that I should order a DFS2-13 for my '05 P700. Here are the different CDI's from Dynatek's web page:

DFS2-11P 2003-2004 KFX400 Kawasaki Quad (Programmable ; $433)

DFS2-12 2001-2002 Kawasaki P650 (This one + the CDI's listed below are $248 + $7 shipping = $255)

DFS2-13 2003-2004 Kawasaki Prairie 650/700 (Scott told me this was also for the '05 Prairie)

DFS2-14 2003-2004 Kawasaki KFX700/V Force

DFS2-15 2005 Brute Force (I'm thinking this is for the BF 750 only)

You won't waste your $250 if the DFS2-13 doesn't work with your BF650; Dynatek will refund your money from everything I've read. I'm pretty sure you want the DFS2-13 for your BF 650.

alltoys: I hope the above is what you were talking about.

wyowilderness: Yours is the first stock CDI failure I have heard of, so I don't believe that it is a common failure on the Prairies. You can get Dynatek's DFS2-13 for a lot less than $400-$450 ($248), and it will bring the timing much closer to where it should be. You should be able to feel more power as soon as you stick it in there (5 minute job). I know I did on my '02 P650; I did have to adjust the idle speed down with the adjustment **** on the right side.

Every once in awhile Dynatek sends out a bad one, but they make it good. Just aggravating is all. A few of the originals caused kick-back on the starter, but they have solved that from what I hear.

 

kawiyowee, thanks for the info. I'll give Scott at Dynatek a call to see if any adjustments need to be made for high altitude. My house is at nearly 8,000 feet and I go up from here.

 

really helped i hope that it is the same cause man i ggota get some more power in this thing since the 27s...Not to bad of a powerloss but what the heck why not have it...Clutch springs are ordered and that should bring some bottom end back

 

wyowilderness: I ride at 7000 and up with the P650 CDI, no problem. Haven't tried the P700 yet.

 

The clutch springs will help just as much as the CDI imo.
