I'd keep an eye on the ignition if it is in the nose cone, as I doubt this is over with. Might take a while to happen again, but I doubt it is just a colder plug solution.
We run evo motors here in Texas at over 100 degrees at 80 MPH and they don't overheat.
My preference is a module mounted on the frame versus one in the nose cone.

Glad you're up and running.

I bought this bike used and I have no idea what it's been through or how many people have touched it.
I am considering either going back to stock ignition, maybe a SE module or going with the Dynatek2000i.

I use to own a 1998 Dyna and in 162,000 miles I never had an overheating problem.

Just so you know the SE ignitions were made by Dynatek...

The issue is not a spark plug issue.

That happened to me once. Really weird. I took off the fuel cap and air rushed in. I bought new fuel caps.
With troubleshooting, you have to find out what it’s not to find out what it is. Methodically eliminating potential issues will lead you to the problem. I don’t think it over-heated either unless you were sitting in traffic on a hot day which you were not.
Good luck.

When my Crane left me in the middle of nowhere dirt road Arizona summer high noon she convinced me into never running electronics in the cone ever again.

Default Question about the cone

I am not familiar with “the cone.” Is that a bike specific part? Or is it common to all Evo’s?

The reason I ask is because I am just getting ready to replace my ignition and I don’t want to set myself up for any heat problems if I can avoid it.
