BMW R1150GS 2001 31k will not start

Hello my Beemer died on the way to work here's what happened, began to miss-fire and stopped, now cranks at good speed
I have a spark at the plugs and there bone dry no fuel , the injectors are getting a electrical signal, full fuel tank, fuel pump activates when you switch on the ignition and after I stop cranking and sounds normal (fuel filter replaced 3000 miles ago)
I searching the net for suggestions it seems to be either a hose has come off inside the fuel tank, but I think the pump would not make pressure and stop pumping, or the hall sensor has sh£t itself
any other ideas please.....
Thanks in advance

Sounds like hall sensor to me, but I'd wait for someone more distinguished to reply.

If you have Electrical signal and spark then hall sensors are okay

Drain / Syphon off fuel from tank till you guestimate that you have about 5 litres ish left

then take the tank off set it carefully on its side (setting it in an old tyre is a good tip here) and slide your hose in and drain as much as you can off

CLEAN the threads on the fuel pump studs as much as you can (Unless they are already clean from recently fitting a filter???) and lift the fuel pump plate up a little and you have 2 small clips on the drain pipes to undo

Once you have those off it should tilt up, back and out fairly easily, you might have to rotate it a little

TIP off stick a tippex or scribe Mark showing where the pump plate sits on tank so you can realign easily if its your first time

You should see a burst pipe or a blown off hose really easily

Done and running

 

[flatdog]

Well done!

Mine popped off shortly after filling up.
I inverted the full tank and did the repair at roadside without having to empty the tank.... didn't waste any fuel. Was on my way in 45 mins

Just thought I'd point out that you can have an electric signal and spark, in fact the bike can even start and idle and the hall sensor can still be fecked ...

Aye I guess I should have said

"I get a feeling in this instance that they are all right as the plugs are dry"
