What did you do on or to your other bike part 2

1995 R100R Classic.  It was the last airhead produced and mine is from near the end of that year.

It varies by year, but there are definitely vagaries associated with the ignition systems in these things.  Parts are readily available though, and the bikes are easy to work on, which is part of the attraction.  And there are aftermarket upgrades for those who want a more modern ignition system retrofitted.  In my experience anyway (I have 5 vintage BMWs ranging from 1957 to 1995) they actually hold up well for their age.
