look out!!!
Bike is an HP2 Enduro, but has the same fuel pump assembly parts as an R1200 GS.
Referring to Part #1 below (BMW part # 16 14 7 690 281) yesterday, in the middle of the woods in Tennessee I started smelling gas and discovered that the threaded hole that holds the female and male quick disconnect valve is cracked, and one of the cracks was squirting fuel.
After removing the male quick disconnect and unscrewing the female receiver, there was white goop that looked like the remains of some teflon tape.
I believe that when installing the aftermarket HPN fuel tank, the previous owner (or the dealer) over-tightened the female receiver and cracked the fuel pump assembly. I've owned the bike for about a year and have ridden it about 6K miles.
Has anyone ever seen this, and if so, know what the likelihood of repairing this $550 part is?
Thanks!
Ian
