What Happened
The fuel tank breather hose on your BMW F800 S or F800 ST motorcycle is a critical part that helps to balance the air pressure inside the fuel tank. In some 2007-2008 models, this hose is routed in a way that can cause the tank to deform at high temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel tank deforms, it could rub against the rear wheel, especially if you're carrying a lot of weight. This could lead to a leak in the tank, which would be extremely dangerous if it were to happen near a heat source.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will reposition the fuel tank breather hose to ensure proper pressure balance. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
