An igniter is an ignition device that uses a transistor to control the primary voltage sent to the ignition coil. When the current is interrupted, a higher voltage current flows to maintain the coil's magnetic field.
Indications of a malfunction include spark plug misfire, the starter turns but the engine won't start, unstable idling, a lack of engine revving, sluggish acceleration, loss of torque, and stalling while driving. Signs of a malfunction are generally noted around 70,000 km. If a malfunction is suspected, the entire assembly is replaced with a new one.

To avoid being stranded due to a sudden breakdown, having a spare igniter on hand will give you peace of mind when you go out on a tour.
