Finally, a permanent fix for the dreaded BMW Fuel Strip Sensor?
This video is a follow-up to a video I made a few years ago documenting the fuel level strip fitting procedure.
You can find that video here: • BMW Motorbike Faulty F...
Shortly after making that video the Genuine BMW Fuel Strip failed 🤬
Hopefully this time it's a permanent fix 🤞
This is the part fitted:

I have had mine installed 6months ago and it is working fine

@larrylarry1206 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for doing this. I was a bit concerned after trying to decipher the installation instructions and the wiring, but it is really clear here and I will go ahead an install mine on a 2008 K1200GT.

@ermesborgnino4704 9 ай бұрын

Would very very much appreciate your impression about the reliability of the solution after you install it. i had the same gage issue with my 2007 K1200GT, and am considering installing it on my bike as well. Tired of using the trip meter.

I also agree PETG is not the best to 3D print from they are better plastics to print from.... leaving the pins sticking out and asking you to chop them is a bit lazy of them. Lots to improve on but if it works happy days!!

My local US dealer has an updated BMW version (different p/n from the original). With tax as of this writing (Feb '24), about $300.

I’m just going old school and using the trip odometer. It worked for me for 30 years so why not?

@user-vf7gp1hr9c 15 күн бұрын

Looks like it would be good for them to provide 6 inches of wire lead so that the wires will tuck back into their little home next to the chip when you install it in the holder. As it is, your heat shrink made it too big to tuck home. With a few more inches, you could offset the shrinks as well as tuck the wires into the holder's gap.

Molto interessante. DUE quesiti, 1) che strumento usi per la calibrazione. 2) che cavo serve per collegare il pc al sensore. Sei molto istruttivo e ti ringrazio per il bel filmato. Ti sarei grato se mi vorrai rispondere. GRAZIE MILLE, franco

I'm on my 2nd strip from these guys. My 1200 GSA works fine until it's gets near the bottom of the range then throws a fit and shows half a tank on the gauge. The guys developing this product are trying to find out why it's doing this. Let's see if they can fix it.

Well, it turns out that if you have converted back to a fuel float you can't go back to a fuel strip, well not from these guys anyway.

The problem with modern equipment today is it’s dependency on electronics, which sooner or later is bound to fail due to out sourcing of cheap electronic components from China.

Can you kindly tell me what the line from the tiny hole in the fuel filler that goes around the cap to anlong fuel line with a hose clamp on the very end but no evidence of where that goes but even more importantly, how do I run the vacuum line from the fuel pump to? Where does it go? I have it spraying gas. I sprayed my bike in gas twice.

Hi, I followed your video (excellent by the way) and ordered the new Spanish fuel sensor strip , fitting went well and after holding in the clutch for 20 seconds all well. next step was to re calibrate with the Unicarscan UCSI-2100. However I can not download the app to my PC but can to my android phone and when wanting to buy the app the site will not accept my post code. Any advice, Kind regards Keith. BMW R1200 RT 05 year and 60+miles. cheers.
