The CDI and ignition coils are sub-standard on the America and Speedmaster. Not one bit of money has been spent by Triumph to make them 1- cheaper or 2- more dependable. There is no replacement aftermarket. If you have a failure on the road it will more than likely be electrical.

Many also hate the rain and stop running as they are not well sealed electrical systems.




I havent had either one of those problems. My bike lives outside and is going through its fourth winter.

You have aftermarket coils don't you?

Several have had issues with the CDI.
I have about 34,000 on my '04 SM, haven't had any real problems.
It did start to act like a bad coil/CDI, occasionally running on one cylinder for a few minutes. But after adjusting the air gap to the revised spec (0.8mm) 10,000 miles ago, it hasn't done it,

There have also been many instances of corroded electrical connections, cured by cleaning and application of dielectric grease.
