THIS VEHICLE'S FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS PRONE TO CRACKING AROUND THE THREADED FLANGE INTO WHICH THE FEMALE PORTION OF THE PUMP'S QUICK DISCONNECT VALVE IS AFFIXED. THE SYSTEM IS PRESSURIZED, AND FUEL CAN LEAK THROUGH THE CRACKS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND CAN CAUSE A FIRE. A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THIS PROBLEM CAN BE VIEWED IN THIS DISCUSSION THREAD: HTTP://WWW.ADVRIDER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=711467 MY RESEARCH HAS TURNED UP MANY ON-LINE DISCUSSIONS LIKE THIS, THERE IS AT LEAST ONE COMPANY SELLING A PREVENTIVELY SOLUTION, AND LATER MODELS OF BMW MOTORCYCLES USING THIS PART NOW FEATURE A METAL RING AROUND THE FLANGE TO HELP AVOID THIS PROBLEM IT IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN, AND BMWS SOLUTION ONLY MASKS THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE DESIGN. *TR
