if its taking a while to go wrong, it sounds likely something is heating up and breaking down. as you've already done the coils, its likely to be something else - CDI, dodgy switch etc. some have "potted" components that take a while to get hot and bothered. if you're unlucky, one thing will have caused the other and it used to be said that you had to swap coils and CDI/ignitor together

CDIs generally do not get hot.
The classic symptons of a stator failure are very hard to start and then when hot cutting out.
Spark is also very weak.
I did not mention regulator/rectifier. They normally never go out.
The oil soak that the domi uses for it's stator is not healthy to stators. The insulation comes off and makes it useless.
If it was the regulator/rectifier then he would be blowinglights and genrally not be intermittent. It would be a black or white issue.
Apart from obvious (like all wires are connected) then I'll stick with the stator .
Even though the domi/XR650L have entire diff electrical systems, the oil bath destroys stators.
XR600 riders on long trips know to carry a spare stator as replacement.
Anyway the real test is to swap one out. Inspect it and see if thw wires are going.
