Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The fuel gauge sensor has failed 4 times on two new bmw motorcycles(08, r1200gsa and 10, r1200rt. The bike ran out of fuel in traffic at highway speeds putting me in danger. My r1200rt has failed 3 times. Bmw has know about this for years, still the problem exists.
Motorcycle fuel gauge displayed approx half a tank for fuel but motorcycle unexpectedly ran out of gas leaving me in a dangerous situation to avoid traffic with no power.
Purchased new motorcycle from dealership. After approximately 200 miles of driving, fuel gauge indicated 1/4 tank remaining. On board computer indicated approximately 75 miles range remaining. No low fuel warning displayed. Upon refueling, tank took nearly the specified maximum capacity (8.9 gal). I was extremely fortunate not to have run out of gas in a remote area. Took vehicle to dealership and they confirmed inoperative "fuel strip". Replaced with new fuel strip.
