fuel pump controller failure
My 2005 R1200GS had a fuel pump controller failure around 40 000k.
I bought a 2009 R1200GS which is good so far at 38 000k.
Our BMW Technician showed us a way to bypass the controller in an emergency to continue your ride to the next convenient place. The fuel pump then runs all the time and so you have to be quick in riding off after starting and in shutting off when stopping.
You can also buy or make up something like this:

Hey Andy
Thanks so much for such a prompt reply. I have wrapped each of the connections up in electrical tape!!! Hope that's ok! I am a little worried that water and rubbish may get into the fuel pump bay where I removed the FPC - should I shove a cloth in here and clean it every now and then or not worry?
Stats; breakdown in Puerto Madryn, Argentina, yesterday 17 March, 2012, took me half a day to get all the info on how to fix. Now in Commodore Ravadavia 500km further south and so far so good....
2008 1200 GS, now with 9500km on the odo
Our blog is www.southamerica2up.wordpress.com
Thanks for the good luck wish, will keep you posted!
Regards
Andrew

FPC FAILURE
Hey Guys
Just a quick note on the FPC on my 2005 rt 1200,While driving to work on 10/4/12 at 7.45am the bike just cut out on the M1 .Have only got this bike since march 2012 ,bought it from a friend who died from cancer last Christmas. Anyway bike stalled couldn't get it to start so called a shop in my town who towed it at 11.30 that morning.We knew it was the FPC but he didn't have the time to fix it that week.No bike for six days. had to borrow a car from a friend for the week to get to work 30 mls away. bought the part for 112 euros .Fitted the part 85 euro bike runs again,(happy days).16/4/12 7.30am just leaving for work ,started bike in garage drove it around the house and bike cuts out.Here we go again just a week later.this time I was lucky it happened in the house.As soon as I get this fixed I am putting it up for sale as I can't afford to be loosing so much time repairing these simple recall problems.I will never buy BMW again and will never recommend them to anyone .I really like the bike but after putting a lot of time servicing and upgrading the crap battery and doing all the final drive issues ,I've had enough.I just don't think they are a reliable bike to go on tour.So will be buying another FJR next month.
Thanks to everyone for posting their help and tips.
Cheers
Noel

Hey great page!
My fuel pump voltage controller failed two days ago
I had to walk about 20 min for cell reception, lucky was near home and had my local bike shop collect bike.
2005 R1200GS. No warning just bike dead, I had smelt a funny smell a few times at start up, but not all the time.
Your page made the diagnosis easy and fix quick, just waiting parts now. Cheaper to get them from the UK as well!
