--- Quote from: kobus on August 08, 2014, 01:02:18 AM ---I spoke to a few guys regarding fuel strips at the BMW MOA Rally, and most of them told me that BMW in the US has extended the warranty on the fuel strips in the US until something like 2018, so they just go to the dealer and have it replaced for free.
Does anyone know if this is the case in Europe/elsewhere as well?

In the US BMW has extended the warranty to 12 years on fuel strips - Bulletin 16 002 14 (017)
In Canada there is no official warranty extension.
This is the answer I got from BMW Canada:
--- Quote --- While there is not an extended warranty released by BMW Motorrad Canada for the fuel strip, we are reviewing assistance requests on a case-by-case basis. To determine if assistance is available for your motorcycle, please consult your Service Manager when you have your appointment with your local BMW Motorrad retailer. During your appointment, please speak with the Service Manager, who will then submit your request for assistance.

They did end up replacing mine free of charge as a "goodwill gesture" :)

The Fuel strip has been just fine up until last week. The bars and computer said I had 40 miles to go, but the engine said "I have no fuel". Stranded on the side of the road for a bit.
I'm going to have the strip replaced. jack b in burien, wa
Dann:
I always thought that on the 2010 + the fuel strip had been changed to a float...
jack basarab:
Evidently my bike was made early and missed the modification. The 911 says I have a strip and I believe it.
Funny because I had a 1150GS previously and it had an 1100 brake line system on it. When I went to replace the brake lines with ss, I ended up with the lengths that fit an 1100, not an 1150. Go figure...jack in burien :-)

My 2010 R1200GSA has a fuel strip. I've had it replaced about three times under the extended warranty. Typically it shows about 450+ mile range when I gas the bike, which is probably impossible.
