Might be worth checking if there is water in the coil /ht lead connections , have had the same problem when riding in rain in the past ..... a good dry out /wd40 & a rubber cover sorted it out

as micky says ,the coils are mounted in a wet spray area from rear wheel , as wd40 seems to of cured it for now its most likely culprit .have resorted to a dose of wd40 n cling film wrap in past ,doesnt permanetly cure it an needs occasional re-doing .99p/pound stores do mini cans of wd40 ,nice size for glovebox/underseat . hope its cured mate ,as i'm laid up/crippled with sciatica an not even able to ride my own scoot never mind crawl over n mess with somebod elses .not that i'd be any good on the industrial strength pills the docs given me . you'd have to put a kite string on me an hold me down from floating up near the ceiling ,drooling an babbling . happy-dazes , H

mum did a elvis "an left the building" end of november , mercifully it was quick n minimum distress . your aware of the score there the last 5-6 years ,so will understand when i say me n dad mostly feel relieved .he's doing ok,an management n brats fine ,hope your tribes thriving.as for me i'm slowly mending an P's mithering me to distraction waiting on me hand n foot .walked today 1st time in 5 days ,amazing what industrial strength painkillers an brandy/coffee for brekky can do. P's idea , but its worked an i'm smiling again instead of swearing n grimacing an drooling , a lot, happy-dazes are ere again .H
