BMW Motorcycle Fuel Systems

If you want your motorcycle running at peak efficiency, you need to ensure that your engine feeds on an optimized amount of fuel. That fuel mixes with an idealized amount of air to create the source for combustion. Your bike has a fuel system in place to direct the fuel to the engine as needed.

The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, a fuel pump, 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 employs fuel injectors? Simple. BMW introduced their first fuel-injected motorcycle engine in 1983, so if your motorcycle is older than that it relies upon a carburetor. Of course, you can also check your owner's manual to determine which delivers fuel to your engine.

Eventually, parts within your fuel system may wind up going bad. Signs of trouble include:

• Weaker acceleration
• Repeated engine stalls

• The overpowering scent of gasoline
