Dyna S problem
Hi everybody... Having problem with my Dyna S ? It seems that when I press the right side of the module in the centre with a screwdriver to the back plate, the RPMs rev up and sound nice. The problem is it won`t stay adjusted that way as soon as I let the screwdriver go . It will not idle right...like it seems to be warped or something. How would I be able to fix this? Thanks in advance for all comments.

People have said that they are very good helping out.
People also say that if you need a new setup that they will offer you one at half price.
This is what others say, this did not happen when I contacted them.
They could care less and actually offered no help.
But you might get the helpful tech guy.

Re: Dyna S problem
Sounds like the mounting plate isn't grounding properly. The plate of the Dyna when tightened down with the 2 mounting screws acts as the ground point for the modules. Early Dyna 2s (Not sure of the newer models) had a plate that was too thin and didn't make good contact when tightened down. I used star lock washers under the mounting screw heads in order to force a good ground contact point.

Yes and yes,
definitely sounds like a poor grounding issue.
It could be slightly oxidized on underside of mounting screws, mounting base etc.
