| I own a 2005 bmw r1200st motorcycle, it has 28,837 miles on it and the quick disconnects for the fuel tank are plastic and will/do break unexpectadly. thus upon noticing this condition i proceeded to replace the plastic with steel parts where as when the male to female threaded plug was changed the plastic fuel pump housing cracked and rendered the motorcycle inoperable until a replacement fuel pump can be shipped from germany.this transfers the fuel under pressure to the efi and when turned on with the crack sprays/leaks fuel over the side of the motorcycle onto the hot exhaust. the motorcycle was trailered to the dealer where the part was ordered from germany with a two week wait at the price of $475.00 plus s&h and installation charges yet to be determined. | |||
