Hi there, I though I would chip in. I've been around Africa, 75'000 km on the F800GS. I was carrying the FPC bypass cable but never needed it. The only problem I had with fuel, was that a few times when it was hot and with a near-empty tank, the engine would cut off completely. i chased it down to a problem with the venting of the tank: I could hear the air being sucked in when I opened the tank. Then it would start normally.
Eventually I took apart the little gizmo that blocks the venting hole when the bike is not upright, suspecting it could get stuck in the wrong position. It seemed to be ok so I put it back in and since then no problem anymore. Not that it had been very hot either, but so far so good. Laurent

Fuel Pump
I have an F650gs twin, 2009 !!!!
Mine went in Africa after 24000 km, I just pulled it out in Mzuzu Malawi, & took around town to try & by the same one & eventually found a french made one that was exactly the same & has worked ever since. I did have a thermostat go on the same bike after 12000 km as well.
