The signal generator? I have no ****ing idea what you are talking about there.
The magneto is simply a generator. All motors have them. Some are way better than others.
Some have a separate alternator, which is a magneto that generates alternating power, that must be converted to direct voltage through a regulator, to charge your battery, and fire up your coil.
I don't know the exact mechanics of how the the process works, but sportbikes(and most streetbikes for that matter) have the coils, a generator, an igniter and the signal generator. I'm sure it probably happens, but I've never heard of somebody having to replace either the generator or their signal generator on their bikes. I'm not bashing the mopar bikes, I think they're cool and they definately have their place. I'm just saying that Jap bikes are FAR from unreliabile...harley's on the other hand...well, they're not.
