the coil sticks are absolute budget junk on the K16 that are lucky to make 20 k miles - mine started to play up at 10 k miles and it had never even been out in the rain - modern BMW bikes are designed to just about reach the end of a very short warranty period and then pumps and electrics start to randomly give up - all part of the recent sick lease it and scrap it philosophy most manufacturers have moved too
throw a set in or if tight - measure the exhaust header outlet temps at the cylinder end with a laser thing and replace the colder ones
