Brilliant video! I'm literally looking at buying a 26 year old one of these with 4k miles on it, and I just knew from experience that this would be an issue, hence the reason I found this! Great to have this info out there, thank you so much for making the film!

I have 1999 model and had to replace the pump and the total assembly. I ordered but had BMW build it back and install it all together. I had to completely get out all the old tank sealant that supposed to save the tank from rust and I bought more and redid the inside. This is a first for me and it was challenging. Replaced brake lines and now have to bleed.I wish this video had been out 2 years ago it would have helped out alot.

Thank you for producing that video. I have a 98 R1200C. She's been sleeping in my warm workshop for exactly a year today because life came at me and couldn't ride her. Next month I'll wake her up and hopefully I didn't do damage to the fuel pump or tank liner by not draining the gallon of gas in the tank. Any advice would be welcoming by me. I'm a mechanic of air-conditioning and boiler systems for over 30 years and I can see and hear you know what you're doing. I'll purchase the products you'll endorse. Thank you again for putting in the time to produce your videos.

If you didn't add fuel stabilizer prior to parking her up, the fuel will most definitely spoil and turn to varnish after a year.

I need to do this exact same procedure with the exact same parts. I will have a look at your site for parts but man it would be great if you could bundle all those same parts in a kit for me. Wait! I spoke too soon. You have already done this! Awesome! Will buy.

Surprised the owner didn't want the tank addressed. I had a '75 Norton Commando that had similar issues with the tank - I had it cleaned and treated, the mechanic protected the paint and for the rest of the 25 years I owned the bike it remained in tact.

Excellent! Now I am going to have to go and check my tank! You just add a hose to the charcoal return so the canister is no longer in use? Do you take out the charcoal canister and route the new house out the bottom of the bike?
@TheBMWGuy Жыл бұрын
Just keep the canister and route the line to the ground.

Hi BMW Guy, I have a 99 R1200C which looks to be in the same condition as the one you're working on. Not only in the wire housing rotted away on the wires to the pump, but the wires to the fuel level sensor are the in the same condition. Are those replaceable too or do I need the replace the switch assembly. I can't seem to find anything about that in any of the tutorials I've watched. Thanks

What about the tank liner? I have an R1100R tank with a bad liner. Going to relive it myself.
@TheBMWGuy Жыл бұрын
In this case, it really doesn’t matter, since his bike will never get written in your case, you might wanna look into an aftermarket solution

@@TheBMWGuy Yes, I think that you are right. I found a great solution from KBS Coatings. That product, or something similar may be another addition to the products that you offer on your site.

My R1200C with 5000 miles had been sitting for a few years with stabilized fuel. When I tried to start her up, the fuel distributor line sprayed fuel which ignited. I was able to extinguish the fire with a garden hose but the BMW dealer charged me $1400 to change the part and flush the fuel system

And for those that asked the peeling liner can be removed and the tank re-lined if it’s going to ridden otherwise the new pump strainer and injectors will get clogged. Otherwise strip it all out, leave it bare metal and just make sure the tank is always full to avoid rusting from condensation. Millions of bikes have bare steel tanks that are not lined and never rust.
