Feel free, it'll do no damage, it's only what's happening inside the engine anyway.
(CDI generates spark, it runs down the HT to the plug where it jumps from one side of the plug to the other, and then runs to earth, via air and a minute quantity of petoil mix. All you do by touching it to the casing is remove the petroil. And it's easier to do it against the flywheel casin.)
