Good thread Staffo. Interesting that it's only the America and Speedie that suffer with this problem and they are the models with the igniter mounted above the engine, just in the right place to be cooked and also open to any weather. The Bonnies, Thrux and Scrambler have the igniter mounted under the seat in dry and cool surroundings.

Is there any evidence that the owners that have suffered failed igniter's live in warmer climates?



That's been my premise as well, failure due to location and that point reinforced by Scramblers having a 270° motor. I still haven't conjured up a quality relocation point yet, but, now that I'm off tour for a bit and it's winter I'll have time to look at the bike and think it through. One thing's for sure, a short bit of wiring harness with matching plugs at both ends is a lot more economical than ignitor replacements,
