My bmw 1200 gs adventure's fuel gauge ocassionaly will shows how much fuel i have then does not show a reading, could it be a loose conection or a problem within the petrol tank?

    Finally managed to go to a friend who is an indipendant BMW mechanic & has told me that the fuel gauge on the the bike is not a float but a membrain. Apparently they have a habit of failing, same problem with the 800GS as well :-/

if you have determined the batt is good leads are tight electrolite (distilled water) level is ok the part to look at is the voltage regulator with the help of the stator and rotor(alternator) it charges the battery if you have no power coming out to charge the battery then the regulator is bad just replace it no authorized service needed just the part hope this helps please give us a rate have supplied 50 soulitions and only recived 8 votes

SOURCE: Clutch problem

check the level of the clutch fluid in your resevoir, maybe a slow leak that is allowing the chutch to release. When was the last time the fluid was changed?

Sounds like either a connector that serves the instruments, or a fuse. I would suspect a connector first off.

SOURCE: How do I replace the clutch of my 2007 1200 GS

Is your clutch slipping?? Is there an oil leak between the engine/trans?

Replacing the clutch on a R1200GS is a bit involved unless you are very mechanically skilled. You basically split the bike in half to remove the transmission and gain access to the clutch. You need a means of supporting the front half of the bike under the engine while you remove the back half of the bike. Disconnect electrical harness from the rear, disconnect brake lines to the rear of the bike. remove throttle bodies etc. takes 2-3 hours for a skilled mechanic to get the clutch out, then 4-6 hours to put all back together again CORRECTLY!

If the clutch is NOT slipping, I would suggest removal of the starter motor on the lower LHS of the engine/ trans. and measurement of the clutch disc before you start the work of disassembly

How do i change the cam belt on a 2007 bmw r1200gs adventure motorbike

There is no cam belt. Cams are chain driven and you have to remove and strip the entire motor to change the chains.

Fuel gauge not working

If you have the film type sensor, it cannot be repaired and will need to be replaced.

You will need to remove the filler cap (6 screws). Then remove the metal "funnel" part. The fuel strip is attached to the funnel part.

I fill up the tank on my 2008 gs and the range shows 260 miles, fuel gauge does not change until i have done 110 miles,when the bike was new the gauge would change at 50 miles,the range then was about 180...

sounds like the sensor strip has failed i`m afraid and its a garage only fix not possible to do yourself as the onboard computer needs recalibrating

hope this helps

After starting my 2009 BMW R1200GS the fuel guage showed over half a tank, it was warming up and then the low fuel warning light came on. The fuel guage is completely blank, no bars at all. Any thoughts on...

The fuel gauge sensor on my 2008 1200GS Adventure was defective and needed replacement. On my first ride after buying it new from the dealer it showed full (all bars), but ran out of gas on my first ride. No further problems, and it is now 40,000 miles.
Hope this helps.

Bmw R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure

I believe that the Adventure model is higher, has stone guards etc... and is more orientated to long distance traveling...eg: bigger fuel capacity.
