I've been using my points canister for a few months now and everything is working great. These things are REALLY simple and can be completely disassembled and repaired on the side of the road. Just bring a spare set of points ($8) and you're safe.

Read this (and then translate it so I get all the pointers to):
2-Ventiler.de | Elektrik | Hallsensor CYHME56 Reparatur Zündauslöser R80RT Erfahrungen gesucht

There apparently is an issue with the CYHME56...

At last!
I've just manage to take the ITU apart today and drill-out the old broken hallsensor.

The rivets in the new are a bit short... and I have still to figure out how to get them to lock the new hallsensor in place...

The honeywell hallsensor is just about identical with the old Siemens(?)/Bosch one. There is only one visuable differense - the gap in which the aluminum triggering "cap" spins; it is about 1.5mm wider... wonder if this is the possible cause of the problems that are presented/hinted on the net...

I'll try to get the ITU back together and test run by tomorrow (2009-08-10).

With the experience I have aquired today, I would not recommend to try mend the ITU, less one is quite experienced in the work-shop/garage... it proved to be far more complicated that what it looked like... I would recommend, in view of all this, that one contact Moto-bins - BMW Spare Parts and Accessories for Motorcycles - Index and get their overhauled (exchange system?) units.

Sorry that I have not been able to find any option to Motobins offering/concerning repaired ITUs - If you know of or find other shops/dears on the globe that repairs ITU, with or without exchange basis, please post references here -

Moto-bins - BMW Spare Parts and Accessories for Motorcycles - Displayfinal

I would indeed recommend going for this unit:

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
