Dereham, Norfolk, today...
Just found this Email copied on another site, I've Emailed Wudo for a quote for the conversion on my 2002 Adv, just to get a rough idea of costs - I'll post the reply....

"Dear customers,

we are happy that we can inform you about news from WÜDO on this way for the first time now. One of our topics today is the now available twin ignition for all 1100/1150 and 1200 ccm 4 V Boxer models. This conversion will stop the old problem of pulsing at constant revs definitely. The second spark plug burns the mixture in the cylinderhead from the outside parallel to the standard spark plug, so that the burning is more symmetrical, what is the basic for a good running, pulsefree and low emission engine.

The conversion passed all tests at the German TÜV without any problems. The prices for the installation of the twin ignition, dismantling / installation of the cylinderheads and the needed sealings depend on the according model and the caused work. Please ask for our offer - don´t forget to tell us your model, so that we can tell you the definite costs by E-Mail: [email protected]

You will find more informations about news at WÜDO, for example tuning
kits for 4V boxer models and the new GG Boxer watch, on our website at the item Neuheiten. (www.wuedo.de) Sorry - at this moment this service is only available in German, but we will get our website translated soon.

With best regards

It's cheaper than I expected (£650ish) although the 14 days turnround doesn't lend itself to popping over for a few days & getting it done while you wait. Think I'll keep this as a last resort if the Techlusion doesn't cure the surge.....;)

I have sorted my R1100GS out with different spark plugs - Euro 6.50 .....:confused: :beer:
 
Hello,

in the german forum (www.boxer-forum.de) there are a lot of threats concerning problems with the WUEDO-conversion.

The main problem seems to be that WUEDO wouldn't use different cylinders. But the material is too thin for a 2. spark (quote of a BMW-engineer at a private meeting). So you will have some problems in future after the conversion.

BMW uses other cylinders for the twin-spark engine.

See you

Jürgen
