Great video Thanks for sharing, it opened my mind a lot of how this systems works Appreciate it Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

Sounds like a big waste of money and time,not accurate

My fuel strip has just failed again on my 2008 R1200RT, anyone know if this will fit my model?

Great video. Super useful but Plz use different voice than this robot.

Good video, thanks! Note: For model years 2005-2013 (my R1200 GS Adventure is 2010, 70,000 miles), in August 2014 BMW issued a "Warranty Coverage Extension/Repair Expense Reimbursement" order which means that faults with the fuel strap are fixed free UNDER WARRANTY UP UNTIL 12 YEARS from initial retail sale of the bike. The replacement of my fuel strip happened in 2015 ($780 repair). If your bike is a 2013 you're still good until 2025.

Hallo, zou u ook overwegen om dit tegen betaling bij m’n R1200GS Adventure te installeren?

Bonjour avez vous un lien pour la connexion entre la prise et la pompe s'il vous plaît ?

Does that have two fuel sender units?! I have my 05 rt k26 apart and i cant find information on the routing of vacuum/fuel lines would you by chance be able to point me in the right direction? On my fuel filler neck where the strip is for the gauge there’s a hose and there’s a clamp at the end I don’t know what it clamps to. It’s so confusing and then on the field unit there is the vacuum line. What does that go to cause it’s been spraying everywhere. Thank you safe riding

Hello I have the same problem with the of heating grip in my1200GS2009, I checked it with polimeter and it’s ok, there is power in the circuit , but doesn’t work, if I will wash the bike and getting wet work also, do you have any idea what’s going on?

Greaaat

Great tutorial, thank you!!!

30 Know that when you are born, all family and relatives’ blessings and curses from Adam down hang above you. But when you reach the age of consciousness, not the sorcerers but your first actions determine your choice. And the solution is to return first to God through his prophet according to 2 Chronicles 20:20. Seek Salvation first. And Salvation is only through the living prophet of your time. Not an angel, not a book called Bible or Quran. Not a prophet called Moses, Jesus of Nazareth or Mahomet. But the words of a living man amongst you. And you, whatever difficulties and sufferings that you are going through, first, know that the person to blame for all this is yourself. And in search for a solution, you shall not go to just any prophet and not just anyone should lay his hands on you. You shall never trade your Salvation for an ephemeral relief from Satan in a Catholic, Protestant, evangelical or Branhamist church. In Genesis 50, Joseph asked that his bones should go up from Egypt with Prophet Moses. And you, if you are a chosen one, you must not die before you accept Kacou Philippe, the living prophet of your time. #ProphetKacouPhilippe

Any idea what's wrong when the float sensor stops working?

I think I got that fuel strip replaced about 5 times on my 2007 GSA, there was a recall so the BMW dealer fixed it without charge. I also noticed that my fuel strip usually shows movement between 100 - 200 miles, before and after it shows full/empty. I learned that my tank lasts 300mi on the freeway, 350 mi on the highway, so I reset the miles after fueling and know when I need to buy gas. One thing that threw me off in the video, you used the green hose to refuel, which is diesel here in the USA. And my BMW shows mi, yours obviously km.

Salve ho bisogno di acquistare il galleggiante livello carburante per gs1200 anno 2006, mi può aiutare? Nel sito non lo trovo

Very informative and a pleasure to watch. Does this system work for the 2010 overhead cam version of the 1200GS adventure?

Can this be done to my R1200Rt

Hi, I bought my 2007 GS in 2012 in Phuket, Thailand. Whilst I still like the bike it has been the most unreliable piece of s**t ever. I think I am on my third fuel strip AND I am on my THIRD fuel pump!!!! The pumps keep failing, splitting at connection. Not easy to get BMW to pay for it, the "band aid" fix they did (small alluminium ring around the connection) still fails. After nearly 3 years of Covid (did not use the bike as I could not get back to Thailand) I got back to Phuket. My Honda Wave started on the second kick...the GS??? Of vourse not!!!! Took out the pump and the electric motor had RUSTED DEAD!!!! lucky me, I had an old pump with a good motor and my trusted 20 plus years experience mechanic did the swap and vroom vroom the GS started!!! He also sid the connection was "sweating" meaning this 3rd effing pump is on its way out. Just in passing, for general interest, I'll mention the following: rust on engine casing and petrol cap, a number og tyre pressure sensors, the key contactor, front shock leaking at 30k kms, a NEW ECU (yes, that failed too and BMW did not want to hear about it, it was not easy either to get them to replace the pumps free). Also, they will not do maintenance on spoke wheels...BUT...they will sell you new ones with 20% discount!!!! I am sure I forgot a few "things", apart from that I still like the way she rides...oh I just forgot, I just had the balancer seal fail, split the bike, 12 hours work!!!! Just saying...

Wow - a serious production - loved the music - what should the resistance measure at - thinking of wrapping a resistance wire around the old one ??

Hey guys. I swapped the tape for the float on my 2009 GS Adv. I changed the pins on the ECU connectors and changed the programming via motoscan. And even then the reading is not correct. Autonomy went to 700km, and almost never indicates below 1/4 of the tank. I've tried everything. All that remains is to update the motorcycle's ZFE programming.

Do you have a direct link to the Foil Sensor Adapter Cable????....the link in video is wrong!

Não parar, não precipitar, não retroceder...

Thanks. Very interesting. I've same issue with 2012 gs adv. I will be looking at converting.

A really great video. Helped me trace the circuit break on my My K1200s left grip which had failed. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a 2007 GSA and have gone through 2 fuel strips. I rode a 9,000 mile trip with that damn fuel fault. Have a 7,000 mile trip planned for this June to the Arctic and having this float is going to is going to be a massive improvement. Never understood why BMW never came out with a retrofit for this issue. I have all the items on order and already cleared the fault with the resistor setup. I would never have tackled this on my own without seeing this well put together video. Thanks again!!!

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo.

Can i have the link for all the material?

영상 잘 봤습니다 많은 도움 되었네요 고맙습니다

Where can I purchase both parts ? Pls let me know im have the same problem

love the background music 🤗great video shame i got a triumph tiger which has whit wires made of hair 🤣😂😅

Seems a job for aualified person thanx Andre Cape Town

Float control 1.....where can I find it in the US ?? The website link does not work.

Can you post updated links where these parts can be bought please ? The Float control site does not seem to work. Thanks.

Ik wist niet dat Steven Hawking een Nederlander was.

I bought the FC1 from Proebeemer and a float more than a year ago, and now plan to do the install, since I have finally read all the threads online and watched the vids. It's clear that there are issues with the float in this application. I suspect that some of the inaccuracies and variation is due to the float itself. It may be hanging up on the inside of the tank or the hoses in the tank. My other thought is that the BMW design where fuel is pumped across to the opposite side of the tank at a certain level (suction driven pump). When this happens maybe the float moves and throws off the fuel level reading. My decision is to go ahead with the install replacing the strip which fails repeatedly. Even with the strip working it always lagged for the first half of the tank. There seems to be no great solution, just less bad solutions. I choose to do the float and play with the hoses and float wire shape to try and make it work better. Thanks to all who beat their heads against the wall making this happen so far.....

I have the same problem with my 2008 Adventure. I just let it be and zero the tripkilometers when I put my tank full of fuel. I know I can ride around 650-660 km on one tank. So I just have to look at that. It‘s by far the cheapest solution!!

Great video! But I have a different issue. I have a 2013 GSW with the same red/yellow-black connector for the heated handgrip. But in replacing the failed multifunction switch with a new one, I find no tabs to remove the plug and nowhere to plug the connector back in on the new switch. Any thoughts on this?

Dear Sir where did you get the float conversion kit from. Drew Francis Australia

Any update?

You showed marking the position of the fuel pump and reinstalling in the same position. But this is more critical when you put a float in; without the float the angle doesn't matter much. So it's important to get the fuel pump at a good position where the float isn't jammed up as it rises when you add fuel.

It is possible to link the purchase of the piece, or it is possible to make one

Just fixed my heated grips on my f800gs. Didn't need to take the grips off the handlebars or disassemble anything. Just cut the old rubbers off, fix the broken tracks and slide new rubbers on.

None of this shit works BMW should correct this problem properly. Will never own another one period.

Great discription. Very helpfull. Thanks a lot!

why did you damage the rubber on the handle? after all, it pulls down in 10 seconds, just inject WD-40 under the rubber and you can easily remove the rubber. This way you threw a few dollars down the drain.

No need to take off the complete tank. Can stay on the bike. It took me about 2hrs slow working to do the conversion. Got the float from BMW dealer. The diodes from the inventor directly.

hello, how do you feel about the float option now after a year. working better now or the same. like to here from you. thanks.

Plz share contact number

Is this still jumpy after half tank? Wonder if you ever found a final solution. Thanks!
