I will guarantee you that the fuel pump is defective, it will not show a code on the dealers equipment, the only way to test it is for the dealer to watch fuel pressure while bike is running until it starts getting warmed up and pressure will start to drop off. My wife's 2008 F800ST had the same problem, i did all the fixes, trying to avoid buying a new fuel pump ($500) but that's what it took. If I'm wrong, I'll send you a free t-shirt

Hello; you can get a brand new "aftermarket" fuel pump on eBay (Intank brand) for $35 + free shipping! Please don't enable BMW Motorrad by paying them $504.35 for an OEM part that should cost less than $100 even by BMW's lofty standards!
I try to support BMW Motorrad, ( I've purchased about 6-10 of their bikes new), but this pricing is disgusting beyond belief! If your local dealer won't install it for you @$100 an hour for labor, take it to a "brand X" shop and let them do it for a lot less...Installing a fuel pump is not rocket science!
Also, if your issue is the fuel pump, you should be able to plug in a GS-911 diagnostic tool, and see that you have had some fault codes recorded? If you don't have a GS-911 either get one or maybe you have a friend that has one. They go for $349 @ the Beemer Shop. Realistically, if you own an "F" model or any new BMW model for that matter it's an indispensable tool to have in your kit.
Good luck, Regards: Chuck
