Lone Star BMW had the points. However, BMW is, apparently, shipping the chinese junk (and yeah, they're junk) as OEM now...
While I was crusing around, trying to find a condensor, the misfire problem simply... stopped. As suddenly as it begain. she ran like a top, all the way home.
Guess it must have been something in the fuel.

Hucky's, MAXBMW sell the real-deal, German-made NORIS (one "r") points. Ted Porter does too. BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THEM SPECIFICALLY. Lay in a supply.
The "N" at the end is a Hucky-unique addition to the OEM p/n.
Great that you got home, but doncha just hate it when something "fixes" itself and you don't know wtf is was... . ? Personally... I think I'd have my way with that tank; drain it and thoroughly de-gunk the interior and the petcock screens. I tend to obsess however

What concerns me is -someone- is passing off the chinese junk to dealerships. This is a Bad Thing.

Profit margin.... ? You can get the real thing, you just have to know what to ask for. Like everything else I guess.
I've found that the "new" BOSCH condensers are not too cool either. The ends of the clamp will not compress together far enough requiring a longer screw be substituted. Even then, when tightened, the mounting screw hits the clamp of the condenser causing it to not seat correctly unless really torqued down hard. It's a minor annoyance to have to stop and find a screw when you've got the one that held on the old condenser, but why do they do this stuff?!?

Are you sure?
Do you know that the problem has gone away for sure? Have you ridden it at speed , 70mph or greater since?

Roque, apparently you are wuss. .. ..
Just kidding Brother. On these old machines it absolutely pays to be tuned in on them. With so many gasoline formulas all across the States it's hard to tell what you put into your tank. Thanks for one more "experience" to add to the collective tribal lore of airheads.
