VAPE touring spare

Been running a VAPE ignition on my series 1 for 3 years and it's been faultless. Was told at the time , no need to carry spares , they don't fail. Been riding around on my other bikes this year and been carrying stator and cdi as always .Off on the series 1 next week and got to wonder if anyone has had to change anything on their VAPE roadside. Nearly bought spare stator and cdi but don't want to waste £130 .
Has anyone had any problems ?
Cheers
Steve

Thanks for the feedback .
I've invested in a cdi as a back up .
Having looked at the wiring diagram, I think I might try and rig up a mini loom to try a Readspeed Lukas cdi on this . If it works , there's no need for the stator .
I'll update if it works .
