What are "points" on a motorcycle engine?

Where are they and how easy is it to change them?



I have a 1992 Suzuki DR 250 that dies every now and then. A buddy of mine suggested I should install a new spark plug, change points, air filter, fuel filter, etcetera. I don;t know anything about %26quot;points%26quot; though. When I look them up on Motorcycle part websites do I search for %26quot;points%26quot; or is that slang?

points and condenser repeatedly energizes and collapses the primary ignition circuit in your coil, causing the secondary ignition to hit through i believe its called induction.(im probably wrong on the term induction and someone will let me know)What are %26quot;points%26quot; on a motorcycle engine?Points are KETTERING IGNITION, Current flows thru the points and collapses when the points open, this change in current causes the coil to discharge.
