BMW Motorcycle Fuel Systems

BMW Motorcycle Fuel System FAQ

Whether you ride a BMW F 800 GS, a BMW K 1200 R, or otherwise, you want your BMW motorcycle running at peak efficiency. For that, you need to ensure that its engine gets the right amount of fuel mixed with the right amount of air at the right time for the best combustion possible. Its fuel system helps make that happen.

What are the Parts of the Fuel System in a BMW Bike?

One consists of a fuel tank, a fuel pump, one or more fuel level sensors, a fuel filter, an electronic control unit, and either a carburetor -- if your bike is an older model -- or fuel injectors. How do you know whether yours has a carburetor or uses fuel injectors? It's simple: BMW Motorrad introduced their first fuel-injected engine in 1983, so if your motorcycle is older than that, most likely, it's got a carburetor. Of course, check your owner's manual to be sure.
