  Date Added:

  Manufacturer:

  BMW

  Summary

  On affected vehicles, a clamp on the fuel hose (quick coupling connector to the fuel pump) can happen to be crimped insufficiently. During the motorcycle starting process, the fuel system develops a higher pressure than while riding. This increased pressure during start-up can cause the fuel hose to move on the quick coupling connector and over time could eventually slip off the quick connector coupling. As a consequence, small amounts of fuel can spill under the parked vehicle and the engine will not start.

  Manufacturer:

  Summary

  After close inspection it has been found that the Hose clamp on the fuel line may be insufficiently crimped at the quick connection coupling at the fuel pump. During starting operation, a higher pressure occurs in the fuel system than while driving. Due to this increased pressure during starting operation, the fuel line can move on the quick connection and may slip off the quick connection completely. As a result, small amounts of fuel can leak out and the engine cannot be started.
