URGENTLY WANTED: Twin Spark Stick Coil Plug Connector

Very random but in replacing what I thought was a broken stick coil, it turns out it was actually the plug that had snapped. It's part of the main loom and although I've ordered a repair kit from BMW it will take a while to arrive and I have a trackday next Monday.

Does anyone have the plug in the picture below?

(I know that's a photo of a 1200 but it's the same part and I don't have very good light where the bike is)

Cannot promise but I may have something like it - it isn't off a bike but it looks similar - actually off an aftermarket trailer side light - I'll look tomorrow but don't build your hopes up just in case

Just had another look at the pic - is there 3 wires to it? if so then I can't help cos I know the plug I have only has 2

Yes, it's three wires unfortunately. Thanks for trying anyway!

Is it possible to dismantle the plug?

Yes, fortunately BMW designed it to be dismantled. I've taken it apart but the issue is the three pins have all snapped, as well as the casing itself. I only realised because the end of it was left in the stick coil.

I'm in a communal car park with no plug sockets, otherwise I'd be able to bodge the pins with a soldering iron and epoxy the casing together. I've managed to at least get it connected and get the bike running OK for now but I'm not convinced it will hold up for long!

I think I've been rescued by someone on UKGSer
