I purchased the 2007 R1200RT used and had no idea there was a problem with the fuel strip. It stopped functioning and I then started looking into the problem. I found out that there was a recall, but my fuel strip went bad one month after the recall was over. I tried the BBQ lighter fix and it worked for about a month the first time. The second time for about two weeks. I then received a notice about a fuel pump recall and decided to have the fuel strip replaced at the same time. The cost for the new fuel strip was $318 dollars parts and labor, with a two year warranty. Then one year and two months later that fuel strip stopped working. I called the dealer and they scheduled a time for the new and improved fuel strip to be installed under warranty. It has been one year and three months and the fuel strip is still working.
The jury is still out on the new one but we are all certainly hoping that it is what we all want it to be which is a reliable long term fix. Only time will tell.Originally Posted by mcooper47
