Fix it and ride it. You'll never look back. There is someone here who has the tech bulletin number that lists VIN numbers for '02 bikes that were built with defective ignition modules. If you can get that, and yours is one of those bikes, they owe you a new module, says so in the TB.
I have a 2 year old America. No problems, and it is a much nicer riding bike than the new FXDLI that I got for the OL.
