Adding the electronics to the nose cone does nothing to increase the reliability of the cam sensor, all it does is make it a bigger bill when it dies.I'm sure that's what it is. I carry an extra one with me. Like the old Harleys, you had to carry an extra set of points around with you. HDM does carry a solid state unit that fits in the nose cone, but the cam sensor will fix your problem.
Heat cycling is the enemy of electronics -- I'd much rather have the ignition module away from that high heat source of the nose cone. I had 2 units fail in my original bike (non bdm) and towed another friend home when his went out as well.
