Picked up my 2008 Adv the other day. Decided to put back all the goodies I took off my old Adv. So putting on the Acrapovik and not wanting to twist the Lambda wires I pulled the connecting plug (see picture 1) of the second spark plug housing plate and managed to break the plastic connecting plug. Instead of learning from my mistake I did the same thing the other side:blast.
Anyway spoke to local dealer and guess what you have to buy the whole lambda sensor if I want to replace the connector at £120 a time:nenau

Also managed to scratch the BMW badge on the top yoke as I thought it would be like the 2006 bike, like a blanking plate so I could put my Wunderlich themometer in its place.:blast (yes didn't have a very good weekend). Guess how much a new badge costs? £26 :spitfire Just for a badge.
Anyway before I bodge the plastic connecting plugs I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a new one without buying a whole new sensor? Thanks, its still a great bike through!!:D

BTW whats happened to the starter motor cover on the 2008 bike (Picture 2!!)

Hi Looks like they could be patched up, If you really want to replace look up Moto Rudi on ebay.de
He is breaking brand new 08 GS and GSA
 
Thanks, you're right it can be patched up, just a bit annoying I've bust them so soon after getting it!!
