Voni are you sure you have a fuel strip and not a mechanical float?

2009 rt bought used with 3,800 miles. I've put on 14,000+ since I got it in Feb 2012. No failures and none on record under warranty.

2011 R1200R 5100 miles, no problem with fuel strip at this point. Low fuel light comes on at 40 miles left every tank.

I had the "R" bike for 3 and3/4 years, no problem, but only 24K miles.

RT is only 2 months old with 2K miles and so far no problem.

Hope this helps.

The 2007 R12R has a bad fuel strip. Its intermittent, right now its OK but I only trust the odometer for when to get fuel. My 2009 R12RT works fine.

2011 GSA

29,000 miles

No problems whatsoever. (Will probably all go to hell at 36,001 miles).

looking at the poll, it sticks out like a sore thump that the problem started in 2007 all the way through to the current model.

So the original strip was fine for the 2005 ~ 2006 series, as the failure rate seems to be very low.

No question that there has been some kind of factory change.

No such conclusions should be drawn from an unscientific sampling.
