Primary spark plug connectors

Got any questions about the BMW's R1200RT/R1250RT's onboard audio, Bluetooth or the Electrical system?

Primary spark plug connectors

Post by Mgee »

Hi does anyone know if I can obtain the connections to crimp on the spark plug wires like in the pics below?  I had a damaged spark plug connector but managed to source a new a one.  Now  I need these to replace the original crimped ones as 1 is damaged ImageImage

Have you got a new 3 pin plug like this (complete with wires) & wish to splice it in to the wiring harness.

Hi David yes, I got this from Motorwerks it's fine but I don't like the way the earth has a terminal to secure to a part of the engine or frames, rather than ready to splice.. I don't have any terminals like in your pic. So can't chop it and keep it within the  conduit {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252

Is this the type of connector you're after.

I don't think it pasted well, what I have is the kit from Motorwerks I put the link below.

https://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop ... 0&spPage=2

It is not the same as the kit in your picture, I would prefer to splice in the earth too but this one has a ring type terminal for securing to the bike, meaning 2 of the 3 wires will be in the harness conduit then the 'earth' I will need to bolt to the engine or frame, which will work fine but will not look the best.  I want to be able to either exchange the actual terminals that are used in the coil connectors thus not requiring the splice, or splice all 3 wires so they are all in the conduit. Any ideas?

OK, cut off the original damaged 3 pin plug, remove the terminals from the Motorworks supplied repair kit, solder the 3 wires from the two items together using heat shrink for insulation, hopefully, the conduit will slide over the re-made connections, if necessary stagger the lengths so the joint area doesn't become too bulky.

I have just ordered this from eBay which looks like the same connectors as used in the spark plug connector for the sum of £4.24! Hope fully I can trim the original harness and fir these into the new connector. I will keep you posted when they arrive
