Re: flat spot under hard acceleration

Update to my running issue Fitted new fuel pump and filter. Took injectors out and cleaned and put back together. Absolutely brilliant. The bike runs with no hesitation at any Rev range. Was definitely fuel problem. Although it ran a little better with the new coils. But that wasn’t the fix. Thanks ...

Re: flat spot under hard acceleration

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 :|

Re: flat spot under hard acceleration

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?

Re: flat spot under hard acceleration

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 :|

Re: Removal of front abs speed sensor

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.

Removal of front abs speed sensor

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

Re: Farkle

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.

Re: Finally happened “fuel gauge “

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...

Re: Fuel gauge strip

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?

Re: Right turn signal lights not working

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...
