Re: Alpha Classic Ignition
What you found is very interesting and prompts me to look at my system's plug now.
I know my stock system went for almost 32 years without any problems. Corrosion finally killing my main wiring harness after 37 years and 240K miles of riding almost all year round.
As to why your system corroded and failed, I can only guess perhaps the contacts used in the Alpha system are not as good as what BMW used?
So now it is time to inspect and dielectric grease my system. Thanks for sharing. St.
