willimike Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Ever since I had the fuel strip replaced on my 2009 R1200RT I can only get about 41/2-5 gallons of fuel in the tank. Any suggestions as to why? Could a fuel strip placed wrongly cause this kind of problem? I feel foolish asking this, but cannot figure out why. I have fueled the bike on the kickstand, on the floor stand and simply holding it upright while fueling. Help!! Link to comment

It sounds like they didn't calibrate the new fuel strip so it is now showing empty with 3 gallons still remaining in the bottom of the tank. Link to comment
willimike Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Thanks for asking...I don't know for sure. When I do fill it, the fuel strip indicates only 3/4 full. Link to comment

Afternoon willimike It sounds like either a defective fuel strip or an incorrectly calibrated fuel strip. My suggestion is to call the dealer & tell them you have a problem with the new fuel strip reading correctly. Link to comment
willimike Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'll give that a try. Link to comment
