Of course they can go bad too, but they usually last. The least likely failure in the system is the CDI box. There are people who have never had one go bad on them and I have had 2 sets go bad on me. When I checked my triple a couple of years ago I had one plug that was very bright blue when you pulled it over and the other 2 were weak or "orangish" looking. I read somewhere a while back that if you have all of your plugs out, pull it over and one plug seems to be bright blue and one has more of an orange or "weak" spark that your coils are bad. You can get a voltage output tester and it still shows "good" output even though at running conditions it is not putting out adaquate voltage at rpms. You can measure the ohms and possibly see a bad stator but you can also get "good" readings within spec and still have a bad stator because it is shorting out internally. There is no 100% sure easy way to test the stator. Sometimes you get weak spark and sometimes you get a missing condition a couple of seconds after you push the throttle. Every once in a while a guy has bad reeds causing a "miss" and thought that the stator was going bad. There are all kinds of symptoms depending on if the stator goes totally bad or is "going" bad.
