Stalling engine

fuel injection style? I replaced the hoses and filter just a year ago, and than a dealer replaced the fuel pump. The hose came off again, while riding, just pushed it back on and it was fine, I was going to put may hand in the tank and try to tighten the clamp, just now. should it be a special clamp? how would I know if it is correct? My friend said it could be the pressure regulator if the clamp is tight. Well thanks for the information and interest, I really do love my K75.

Your typical hose clamp with a screw drive has vertical slots all along its band for the screw threads to engage. It accommodates a relatively wide range of sizes. Those slots can eventually weaken the hose by cutting into it. The specialized clamp has a narrow range of fit and has no slots cut into it.

You need to attach the hoses with clamps or they are liable to come loose at a time when you need the fuel pump the most, like while passing another vehicle.

 :clap: Bike is fixed, cut the fuel pump power connector off, and am heading out to get a replacement as recommended earlier, I do think it was faulty, so two problems, the connector and a fuel pump outlet hose failure, it came off, put it back on and all well, checked the tightness of clamp, I could turn the hex adjuster with my fingers, took a 7mm socket with an extension and secured it tight, last person in there was the BMW dealer who replaced the pump, Dealer will remain unknown as I do not like to give bad news when they may normally be good, but I will never go back to them. Thanks for all the help, and I learned a lot from the experience, now I'm back on the road again!
