I don’t have the correct tool to unscrew the top of tank. Do I need one or is there some trick or will it unscrew by hand. This is a new place on the bike I’ve not been

Will do.
Out all weekend on her. Start taking her apart Monday

Fuel pump and strainer £51.76. Think I’ll order that for peace of mind.
Balance throttle bodies. Is that the same as throttle synchronisation?

Thanks guys.
Am I right in thinking this doesn’t have a fuel filter. Some kind of lifetime gauze in the tank.
If it has where is it how do you change it.
Will look into fuel pump price

Hi everyone Bike hesitates on hard acceleration at around 3000 and 6000 rpms. runs fine other than that. bike is a 2011 38000 miles. Just bought and fitted 4 new coils thinking it was that. Today going to buy some injector cleaner to run through the tank. valve's in speck, exhaust flap working, Thro...

Ok quick update
That was some tight sensor. Good job I am replacing with a new one as I had to smash the thing to get it out.
I think the alloy coating has corroded a bit and wedged it in there. The new one is going in with a good smear of grease.

Thanks for the reply Doctor T
Already broke the plastic screw bit. Will try again and let you know how it went

Hi all
Trying to remove the front sensor. Undone small screw. Try pushing and pulling but won’t budge. Is there a secret clip.
Any help would be appreciated

It has alternately been described as a mix of the words “function” and “sparkle,”
Like sprinkling glitter all over to make one’s bike sparkle.

Just phoned stealers
I was three months out of the last fuel strips warranty.
Two years is the warranty on the new one. Which he says has been improved. £278.99 fitted

Hi corker 203 Looks like we’re all in the same boat. Can’t believe that even putting a new gauge in is no guarantee it will stay working. Come on BMW sort it out. Had a year of no problems with it, and got caught out on the side of the road at night. Wasn’t nice It’s like a ticking time bomb Interes...

I also have a 2011 which ran out of with 90 miles showing on the gauge. So don’t know if I have a strip or float.
I’am watching closely to see the best fix for this.
As I’m reading everything seems like a temporary or unreliable fix even with a new part.
So is this true Bmw has a new new part?

Hi all Last night set out to do a two hour journey with a fuel gauge saying 90 miles left in the tank. 10 miles into it and the bike just died, rang the AA for them to tell me I have ran out of fuel. Felt like a right plank. My question to you good people is what route do I go down Buy a new fuel st...

Hi Just a quick update. Switch arrived and fitted today. All works fine. Just a little niggle though. The switch arrived with new plastic, but not the small piece that covers the cable where the cable enters. Phoned dealers up, they said I should use the old one. I said for that money you can’t even...

Thanks guys for the straight up advice. Took off the switch again to see if it was a bad contact (had my fingers crossed, no change) and to see if i could replace it, seems easy enough. I rang Bmw at Alton to see if there was any chance that they would waiver a new switch. They said i would have to ...
