Mine did that last year or year before....it wasnt as bad as yours. Mine would shutoff when it got hot.
The replacement did not have any brown goo. Its all hard black plastic. Maybe with electronics improving over the years....they decided the goo wasnt needed any longer.
96 heritage softail FLSTN has some brown goo coming from beneath the bike. Soft when bike heats up but firm at cool.
Is this premature sign ignition module is going out?
Bike runs fine right now.
Yes that is a sure sign your ignition module is going out.
If you replace it with a Dynatek 2ki ignition you will be extremely happy about how easy your bike starts in the future.
Yes sir, your ignition sensor plate will fail sooner or later. It's an easy part to fix as part of your ignition system, if you stay with the stock set up. Replace it, and you should be good to go.
