BMW upgraded fuel sensor strip.

I didn't know about this.
How do you access it, assuming you have such a thing??

Look at the inside of the right fuel tank by the forkleg, if you see what I mean.if there is a cutout there with a bolt hole for a retaining strap then you can fit the back up oil bottle in there.

I just paid 179.9 this afternoon.
Out of Interest, is the "Supreme" E5 the same as the old E5, or does it actually have different Additives to make it deserving of its Title?

Super E5 us supposably the same as before they changed the standard E5 to E10.

The cut out can fit one of these if you have it

So you have the cut out then.
I'm intrigued now as to what your fuel capacity is. I wonder if it makes a difference?
You'd think it would

[BillyBoxer6]

I do, yes.
I don’t recall there being one on the 07 though.
Mine definitely holds well in excess of 30lts but I don’t know exactly how much

Weird things happening !!

Just been out for a bit of a bimble and the new fuel strip is showing a full tank ( it's not) and the range figure went UP the more I rode it, it went up from 197 to 211 over a 30 mile run.

I think I have heard that it may take a couple of tank fulls to get the strip to "bed" in...... Is this the case.?

Just spoken to the main dealer and it turns out that the new improved fuel strip wasn't calibrated correctly so I've now got to take the bike back again.

I know it's not far but it's a bloody nuisance and I'll have to take more time off work... Nothing is simple these days.

I ran out again the other day

it used to ride to 9 miles on the old pump without complaint - after they replaced that it would run out at 15 miles which caught me out... and then with nothing I thought last week I had about 100 miles left and it coughed as I drove by a forecourt... that made me wonder... then it stopped 100 yards up the road

my new box of tricks to make the float behave with a ZFE basic rocked up 12hrs later.... and I temp wired to a fag lighter power source that kept jumping out and confusing the silly thing. There is definitely some stuff it remembers / takes in to account to create a reading... if the float is in half a tank and you connect it up that's the new full.... then you fill it up and that full becomes the new full (which makes lots of sense to me) and it starts measuring the drop .... but if you cut the power u start over...

as it always took a while to update after you fill with petrol (on the old strip) I guess it remembers where it last was each time you start the bike and doesn't update till there a steady reading - so as long as the power is "always there when the ignition is on" with a float then it should be ok???
