Electrical Problems with K1

[mystic red]

OK.  So today I removed the fuel cap and checked the fuel float.  It was sitting on the bottom of the tank despite the tank being half full of fuel.  I haven't removed it yet, so not sure what the problem is.  If it's hollow it appears to have leaked.  If it's solid, it looks like it's absorbed enough fuel to sink.  Either way I think I'll be looking for a replacement.

Hollow....they fail, buy a new one and be done with it. Glad it was an easy fix.

Would be easy if I could find one.  So far have struck out with every source I've contacted.

Edit:  I did find the entire sender assembly shown as in stock at Max BMW but at $121.00.

Grant.  Thank you for the offer.  I just received a call from Kbikeparts and it looks like they probably have it.  They're testing the one they have to make sure it doesn't leak now.  Thanks again.
