New to me 2010 R1200RT. Fuel gauge worked properly for a week after I purchased the bike. Couple days ago, was out riding, gauge functioned properly for around 30 minutes, then nothing.
Instead of doing the fuel strip zap I've seen and read so much about, I'd like to replace the strip with the "new" version, part 16-14-1-600-132. Cost appears to be around $263.
Should I replace anything else while I'm in there? Seals, o-rings, etc? I intend to purchase a GS-911 anyway, so I guess that cost would go toward the savings on paying the dealer to do it.
BTW, I did speak with a local dealer service rep. He said the strip and fuel pump were replaced in 2021, so that fulfilled the BMW warranty obligation, so I'm not eligible to have it replaced under warranty. Sound right, or bs?
