Yes, I would certainly check the points. When the points get too close, it
will affect the low speed idle, and the bike won't want to run. If you
don't attend to the points, it will get worse. One symptom is that the tach
gets erratic, since it is an electronic tach. Easy to check the points. As
I remember, gap is supposed to be .014-.016", but you better check that.
