Default ? is crank position sensor true/false only?

Either it works or it doesn't?
And if it is bad, will the bike start or would it have intermittent troubles?

Sometimes it breaks like a light bulb, sometimes it will come go, sometimes not start, act up hot, die.

Mine would act up once it was warm. (about 3-4 miles from the house) It would hold speed fine, but if I gave it any throttle, it would bog down and darn near die. It did this for about 2 weeks before I finally figured out what was wrong. As long as it was cold, everything was good to go. But once I was at a cruising speed, it would start acting up.
