Is it heating up because of the engine, the outside temp or it just heats up under normal operation? What if its simply a wire feeding the IC Igniter bad info because that wire itself is heating up? ya know.
though it is in an enclosed location it is alot further from the engine than the wiring.

Maybe its the ignition coil or the peak voltage adapter since it seems to be right against the coolant resv.?
I dont think a pc fan mounted on a bike will provide much cooling for the cdi. Those fans work in a small closed case, on my xeon servers they actually have duct work to direct their air on the cpu. I dont think they'll have any impact other than maybe at a stop.
