When my CDI failed around the 40,000 mile mark the left cylinder would intermittently cut out, kick in again, then cut out again. It always started though. I have not personally had a pick up coil fail but I have read of a few accounts on here and on the rat sight where people's bikes would die after running, be able to restart after sitting for a bit(the bike/pick up coil cools down), then die again. With those symptoms the pick up coil has always been the culprit. I believe sometime in the mid 2000s Triumph recommended the pick up coil gap be set to 08.mm from the previous 1.0mm and people say that greatly reduced failures.
