Depending on how old it is they'll test it for free, and fix it if its broke, but if it isn't broke they'll charge you 15 plus postage (I seem to remember).
What we got here, is failure to comunicate.

HI I might have one to sell if you need to replace it, I have a few so let me have the model number as I am unsure if mine are 650 or 100.
You could always try it first to prove yours.

Testing the boyer box is easy. Touching the black and green pickup wires together should generate a spark. PM me if its goosed and I'lll sell you a Dyna S :D

Yes, fit a Dyna-S ignition system, loads better.
I've wired bikes for over 25 years and have seen plenty of Boyer black boxes f#ck up. The thin tracks can easily burn out. I used to solder new tracks in, very difficult but possible to fix.
Personally I would jumk it and go Dyna!

Hi Paul
I must admit I'm not a fan of the boyer, far to complimented for what its trying to achieve, you only have to look at the relative simplicity of the dyna s.
I personally prefer the newtronics system but even that is overkill when the dyna S does it so well..........
