Fuel Pumps for BMW K1200LT

Fuel pumps are an essential part of not only the K1200LT but all motorcycles. Without a properly working pump, your BMW K1200LTs fuel economy could suffer tremendously. You dont have to search too hard to find a variety of OEM and aftermarket fuel pumps to fit your BMW bike.

The fuel pump works with the fuel and engine systems in cars and motorcycles. The fuel pump works year after year taking the fuel from your K1200LT tank and pushing it up to your motor. The pump is what directs fuel in motorcycles to where it needs to go, powering your engine.

There are two different kinds of BMW engine systems: carburetor and fuel injection. Many older motorcycle model years have a carburetor system while most contemporary BMWs feature a fuel injection system. The type of pump you have is determined by the type of system your K1200LT bike has. The two types can be classified as the following:

• Mechanical: This type of pump works with carburetor systems in which camshafts or distributor shafts power it. It uses an unspecified pressure system that forces your engine to consume more fuel than it needs. This means that your vehicle will use more fuel per mile.
• Electric: This type of pump works with fuel injection systems in which an electric computer powers it. It uses a specified pressure system that allows your engine to only use the fuel it needs. This type is more fuel-efficient and appears on most BMW K1200LTs. This type allows you to use the least amount of fuel on a mile per mile basis.

Each type of pump is designed and sized to fit your specific BMW year and model. You can find both BMW OEM and aftermarket fuel pump products as individual pieces and components, or as BMW sets and kits. Unless you have customized your BMW K1200LT with a carburetor system, you should be looking for an electric pump made of iron, aluminum, sheet steel, stainless steel, rubber, or even gold. These pumps will be classified by their horsepower, pressure, and voltage specifications.

Many parts on BMW K1200LT motorcycles are designed to only last a certain amount of time or mileage. When it comes to your BMW fuel pump, this is not the case. There is no scheduled maintenance time, so it is essential to look for symptoms of a failing fuel pump. If your bikes pump is not working properly, your engine could consume more fuel or you could cause damage to parts within your motorcycle.

Indications that your pump has reached its top mile include any noticeable leaks or noises around your tank, loss of power in the engine, engine start problems, or the appearance of the check engine light.
