Differences in Ignition Trigger Unit

[Gordon]

Last week the technical gurus helped me isolate a problem to a faulty ignition trigger unit which I duly ordered from Motobins.

The original unit had 5 wires fed to the connector (red, orange, black, brown, grey) and a number 0 232 101 034 stamped onto the plate. The new one I have has only 4 wires fed to the connector (red, 2 X green, black). In addition, there is a plastic block half way up the cable (which looks like it should fit into a mounting bracket). The plate has the number 0 232 101 093

I assume that Motobins have sent the wrong one and will call them on Monday - my question is why the difference? Is the new one for a newer model?

Cheers

I've just looked at www.realoem.com the latest ignition unit listed on the microfiche is 12117673277 (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=0415&mospid=47978&btnr=12_1013&hg=12&fg=05)

The trigger units listed are the same for early single spark bikes as they are for the late twin sparks. The 1100 part number is 12112306137

have a look at some of the other models and see if you can find the part.

They changed during the 1150 life - Still the same thing and will fit and run no problem
