ON MARCH 11, 2017 MY MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE I WAS RIDING IN TRAFFIC AND NEVER WANTED TO START AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND HAD TO GET THE BIKE TOWED ON A TRUCK BACK HOME. IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THE ELECTRONIC FUEL CONTROL UNIT HAD MALFUNCTIONED DUE TO THE POOLING OF FUEL AROUND IT. THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE DEVELOPED SOME CRACKS AND THUS ALLOWED THE FUEL TO LEAK THRU. CRACKS CAN BE SEEN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS 1, 2, 3, AND 4. THE LEAKING FUEL POOLED ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE AND ERODED THE EPOXY OR PLASTIC FILLING INSIDE THE ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMP CONTROL UNIT THUS CAUSED THE UNIT TO FAIL. THE FAILING ELECTRONIC UNIT CAN CAUSE A SPARK AND START A FIRE RIGHT AT THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS RIGHT BELOW THE SEAT WHERE THE RIDER IS SITTING. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD. MANY BMW MOTORCYCLES AROUND THE SAME YEAR WAS RECALLED FOR EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V617000). THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO BMW F 800 S MODELS AS WELL. THE FLANGE AND THE FUEL PUMP IS MANUFACTURED BY AN ITALIAN COMPANY CALLED BITRON (HTTP://WWW.BITRON.NET/INDEX.PHP?OPTION=COM_K2&VIEW=ITEMLIST&TASK=TAG&TAG=PUMP&ITEMID=142). BMW DOES NOT SELL THE FLANGE ITSELF BUT THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR $414.77 WHICH IS A COSTLY REPAIR WITH THE LABOR AND TAX. ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED SOON AFTER THE FUEL PUMP WAS REMOVED FROM FUEL TANK. THE BEIGE COLORED PLASTIC THAT IS COVERING THE FUEL PUMP DEVELOPED CRACKS JUST AS IT WAS SITTING ON THE SHELF. THIS CANE BE SEEN IN ATTACHED PHOTO 5.
