The fuel gauge is not involved in any of the rear wiring.

The fuel level is a calcualation. Sometimes it takes riding the bike several miles for the calculation. I see you said you rode it home, but that depends on how far.

Then the float might be stuck. Seems there was another post from someone last year that the fuel level was not correct on a K67. I have never seen the issue on any of my 4 K67 bikes.

Your error on the cluster is likely a light warning. Go in the settings and turn off the light warnings message. Then you can ask TSI why they designed their replacement lights that dont work with the BMW software warnings.

 

Found out the fault was from my side stand switch. The fuel issue is a different issue

 

Hey Mate

Did you get around to resolve the issue you were having with the 'Fault in the engine control' message popping up?

I have the same year bike and facing the same issue after lowering it. Having the same error and fuel level stops reading.

My side stand switch works fine though.

Appreciate if you could share what you did to resolve the issue.

Thanks

 

Had the same warning a couple of days ago. Took it to the dealership as soon as it happened. The mechanic there told me it can happen when starting in really cold days, and it's better to just ride it a bit, turn off and on again, and if the message is still on, then, it might be a real problem, otherwise it seems like a false positive. Just my 2cents on this

 

UPDATE... ISSUE RESOLVED

GS911 pointed out a faulty side-stand switch which when tested for functionality checked out fine.

The only thing I've done different to most other guys who lowered their K67's was that I used a side-stand from a 2017 S1000RR.

At a glance they look identical but upon comparing the two stands in detail you can see that the hole placement on the stands for where the sensor sits are different by a few degrees or so. Enough to throw the switch out of its usable range and light up the dash like a Christmas tree.

Also note because of the sensor being out of it's usable range the bike had stopped reading/calculating/refreshing fuel level.

We now know where the issue lies if someone is using a K46 or aftermarket stand on their K67.

Pic attached of the two side-stands for comparison/reference.

I have a 21’ k67 and have had this fuel level issue since nov 2022 after lowering bike using Alif lower link and Alif adjustable kickstand. So its the Alif kickstand causing this issue? Its a adjustable kickstand btw so i have it at its lowest setting since my lowering link is 3”

 

Yes i have a brocks ddc adjustable rod. Before i lowered the bike i marked the original ddc and then adjusted the adjustable ddc rod and performed calibration. I havnt checked the pin hole yet. What should i be looking for? If its seated correctly? And the sidestand plug you recommend, could that possibly allow my fuel level reading to work again?

thank you so much for your response btw

 

Not really a matter of the switch being seated properly in the stand, rather the placement of the hole. In my case the holes in the K46 and K67 were off by only a few degrees which could be overlooked quite easily. Send us a pic of the OEM and ALIF stand showing hole placement side by side like I did above.

Do this, get your bike on the paddock stand, get the OEM stand back on it, flick it open and see if the light goes away. Note that the light will not instantly go away, you might need to leave it like that with the OEM stand on for few hours or so. Mine took about 6hrs before it reset itself. or if you have a GS911 reset the error codes and see if your fuel level starts reading again. Now if getting the OEM side-stand back on it resolves the issue, there's a few things you can do:

1). Re-drill the hole on your aftermarket stand.
2). Chop your OEM stand.
3). Get a side stand bypass plug (this is the easiest one but try not to go this route as you can ride off with the side-stand down).

Keep us posted.

 

I’m currently having this issue in my 2020. Not sure what the K number is.
Thought it was the fuel pump at first and changed that and still having the issue.

I have not changed my kickstand though, it’s OEM.
