My fuel gauge is once again reading completely empty even though i've only gone 40 miles on the current tank which has a range of about 240 miles.i just had the 5th fuel strip sensor in my tank replaced by my local dealer.bmw is well aware of the problem yet does nothing, except say they are sorry.
Fuel was hemorrhaging all over the left side of the motorcycle when i parked it after a short ride. I noticed a trail of fuel where i went down the street. I had just topped off and was down to half a tank (approx. 2.5 gallons) in about ten miles. Smoke was pouring off of the engine and the smell of fuel was overwhelming. A major fire/explosion was a real possibility. After cooling the motorcycle with a garden hose and rinsing the fuel away, i removed the fairings and fuel tank. Fuel was leaking from the fuel pump/quick disconnect area.

This did not correct problem. Failure still occurs frequently.

The clutch would engage in manor that caused the clutch plated and clutch basket to deteriorate in a rapid fashion. Causing mis shifting that could cause injury or death. Result, replace with updated clutch plated and updated basket at owners expense.
