2010 R1200RT Fuel strip advice please

Inspector Gadget:
Fingers crossed then!
Hope the zap-method will keep working for you, that is the most cost-effective solution.

Feedback :

Cold fronts moving through kept me off the bike after Piezo zapping the fuel strip.

Went for a 366 Km drive yesterday. Voila... provisionally. The fuel guage never failed during the ride.  Hope it stays this way.

If any change I will report.

Inspector Gadget:
Fingers crossed then and keeping hope the Piezo method keeps working for you!
You can repeat the procedure again (& again) if you notice similar signs;
I know of persons who have done it 4x times to date in a period of about a year and a half.
But also occasionally (eventually?) the Piezo method won't be able to (re)solve it, sadly enough.
(you can also do it multiple times, repeatedly, if needed, during the same "session")

Hope indeed it stays working "normally" for you.

Skim:
Fuel strip finally died despite 3 zap sessions of 6 each in as many days. This after 70,000 Km's and 2 previous successful zaps. Need to do some research as regards ease of replacing with float level sensor. Hope there is an easy way using GS-911 that does not require wiring and CU fiddling...

Ruan:
Hi Skim

Unfortunately not, the GS-911 only programs the bike's ZFE to look for a float instead of a strip, in order for the bike to send the correct signals, the wiring will need to be changed as the pin for strip is different to the pin for float.

Kind regards
Ruan
