I'm really grateful for all the replies. I've been pretty heartbroken as it happened the second day of ownership. I bypassed the relay and have done 100miles. It rides absolutely perfectly.
Interesting! So last year I bought a couple of spares from Motorworks just before my Poland trip, one of which was a fuel pump Motorworks part number: FAU84026 at a cost of £51.76. This as a spare for a 2012 GSA twin cam, so after reading the above am I right in thinking I’ve actually bought the wrong pump with the wrong pressure rating?
I put a list of parts on here for the fuel pressure gauge somewhere. I will have a look when I get a minute.
Thank you. Do you still have your 1200?
Yes still have my 2012 R1200GS TC Just coming up to 105K miles so nearly run in.
Sounds good. So the fuel system dramas haven't put you off then. Did you do any other modifications? I'm interested in the external high pressure mahl filter conversion.
Do you have any pictures of your pressure gauge setup you can share here please
Excellent thanks. I suppose you could do away with the extra pipe and just put the gauge on the T on the tank.
Have you converted the fuel strip to a float?
I converted my (early) 2010 R1200GSA from fuel strip to float a year ago. I am very satisfied with the result. The fuel gauge is as accurate as you could ask for. The yellow warning for low level lights up when I have about 6 l left in the tank, which is perfect. The important thing is to adjust the height of the float correctly. If you just follow the instructions in this thread, everything is very simple.Fitting a float does require repining and using moto scan ultimate & OBDlink .
I am told there are new reliable strips available as well as the converters which are an easier option.
It was many years ago that we did the conversion using a 0 to 100 ohm kit car float, so things have moved on a lot since then.
Someone with more up t date experience will be along.
