| On the older points versions, if the engine happened to stop on the 'dwell' part of the cam sensor lobe, the GROUND thru points would keep power active on the coil. This meant, if you turned the key on (or left it on), with the RUN switch ON, and did not start the bike, the coil would be in constant saturation and would 'burn up' the internal coils. | On the older points versions, if the engine happened to stop on the 'dwell' part of the cam sensor lobe, the GROUND thru points would keep power active on the coil.

| - | To prevent that on the new electronic ignition modules, they timed out the firing function. | + | The timeout prevents the coil from burning the internal windings (see point section above). |
| NOTE: The RUN Switch does permit or kill the power to both the Ignition Module and the Coil - This means that in addition to the Keyswitch being able to reset the Ignition Module, you can simply flip the RUN Switch OFF & ON to RESET the module because that will completely power down the module & coil. | NOTE: The RUN Switch does permit or kill the power to both the Ignition Module and the Coil - This means that in addition to the Keyswitch being able to reset the Ignition Module, you can simply flip the RUN Switch OFF & ON to RESET the module because that will completely power down the module & coil. | ||
