My K75's connectors on the ignition wires to the spark plugs have some rust on them. It's difficult to remove the rust out of that little hole.
Are there any great after market ignition cables that are a good replacement? BMW wants $70 a wire! :jawdrop

Stephen,
Clean 'em up!:brow They should each measure about 5K Ohms from end to end. A wire brush or a wire wheel on a grinder should clean the outside rust. Use an old fashioned typewriter eraser (ususally pretty abrasive with a bristle brush on one end) to clean out the spark plug end. A little rust down in the housing isn't going to hurt anything. The contacts down in there are brass and copper. :clap
Slather a little silicone grease down in there when you replace the plugs and you will not have a problem in the future.
