My 2008 bmw r1200r motorcycle fuel gauge continues to malfunction or does not work. it has been replaced by the dealer multiple occasions. merging with high speed high volume traffic in the dc area can be very dangerous if you run out of gas due to a fuel gauge error. i had the same problem with my bmw r1200gs adventure motorcycle. my brother has hid gauge changed on his bmw r1200gs adventure at least 5 times. | |||
