Fuel pump output flange cracked, resulting in fuel leaking down the side of the bike and onto hot components while riding. This issue has already been the subject of a bmw recall - but apparently the "inspect and reinforce" solution isn't really adequate long-term. This pump had been "inspected and reinforced" - and the flange still cracked and caused a dangerous fuel leak with the potential for bodily injury or worse.

Fuel sensor strip failure. Inaccurate fuel level displayed. Low fuel light inoperative. Unexpected no fuel and engine stops at highway speed. Second time this has happened, first strip was replaced, the second strip also failed. A common problem with this motorcycle reported on the forums. *tr ...Updated 03-13-13 *bf the consumer suffered a sore wrist and shoulder from the crash into a concrete barrier.. 04/22/2013 *js

The fuel gauge displayed that i had 40 miles left and was on reserve and the low fuel light illuminated. Two miles later, on the way to stop for gas, the engine suddenly sputtered on a busy interstate and died. I had no power and managed to safely coast through traffic to a stop on the shoulder of the interstate. Fortunately i was able to slosh the tank back and forth and start the engine again and made it safely to a gas station 4 miles down the road where i filled up a bone dry tank still telling me i had 38 miles left on the tank. This was the first strip to my knowledge on this bike that failed. I had it replaced for $300 by bmw. The second one failed in a similar fashion, except this time because of the shoulder i crashed into a retaining wall. See odi number : 10498389 filed after that episode. *tr

Fuel strip (fuel level sensor) fails rendering a false "empty" reading on my fuel gauge. This is due to a defective fuel sensor strip that has been used in various bmw "r" models. *tr

Engine randomly (so random i cannot recreate) stalls at any altitude but more so at high altitude by simply pulling in the clutch lever. This condition is obviously a safety hazard and could involve rear end collisions or other. Bmw has not responded to dealership or myself with a fix for this condition. This complaint pertains to a 2009 k1300gtg but continued submission under different model because website wouldn't permit continuing unless a known model was selected from the drop down menu. *tr
