£20 and you don't need a part number just tell them you want the male part of the quick release fuel coupling from a 1150 adventure and the part will be in your hand
Thanks

Hi mate how much for the male and female 
I think the male metal version was about £22.
It fits perfectly in the OE plastic female socket.
Problem I had was ,one of the female sockets was aftermarket. Looked the same but new metal male wouldn't lock so a new genuine female sent out overnight ( bloody good service) and perfect fit. £15 .

Tangent question: did 1999 R1150GS models come with quick disconnect fuel lines from the factory?
Mine does not, just regular perished rubber and clamp.
Did a previous keeper cheap out?

Do these connectors fail with mileage, age or is it random ? My 1150 has 32k should I get proactive ?
I don't think it's anything to do with the miles,more like age.
My 850 had only done 21k. 2004 vintage. I think that the male connection goes brittle,and when you disturb them that's when they fail.
Personally I would change the male side for the metal ones now in the comfort of your garage. And while you at it check the fuel filter.
They came as standard on the GSA models and the std GS models didn’t have them. Many owners retro-fitted the plastic ones but these are the ones which get brittle with age.

Standard on all models from 2003.
Get proactive!
As mentioned above, do it while you're st home and not in a rush. You'll be stuffed if they decide to break out on the road.
