I would be interesting to know how the problem was solved.
mine just died, has ZFE basic and trip computer.
a new strip is 200 the float is 100, I got the float and been reading up what to do and got to the bit if you have a GS and a trip computer with 4 wires and ZFE basic its a pain. Can't really be arsed to take the tank off to re-pin and now I think it says in these pages for my set up whilst the gauge will work the trip computer will not....
Its seems a bit odd as my ave consumption is still live and still working and if you reset it works just as you'd expect. I guess the ave speed is off the ABS sensors, as that's still working too.
Which leave me with, could you not use two wires (I guess in the heater circuit bit) doing however it does stuff as something for the trip computer and then connect the float to the other two pins for the gauge and end up mix and match?
Something seems to be going on, on this dodgy website he's selling a bit of stuff to save the repin job, but he has two different units
a GSA one at 92 euros and a GS one at 127 with the more expensive one seeming to have two other wires to play / connect up, with I guess somehow doing what the other 2 of the 4 need...

start of his video (with strange results in part2) shows an home made anti nag fix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gb2g0Eoyk8
any thoughts ?
The wiring needs to be re- pined at the ZFE ecu as the float uses pins 21 & 37 whereas the resistive film on the fuel strip uses pins 34 & 35. So connecting a float to the fuel strip wires will not work.
Hi
I have discovered this by mistake...I was working on the ESA r1200gs and it makes change from my suspension posts...
The main thingis it works!
And you don't need any magical devices!!!
So before you start you will need
1 OEM FLOAT TYPE SENSOR FOR YOUR MODEL
anyK25 After 2010 should have one...(not early 2010 gsa this comes with strip)
GSA float is mounted on the pump
GS float is mounted on the fuel cup
This includes models from 2006 to 2010 ADV (I'm working on 2010ADV)
2 Moto Scan App with OBD linkLx
3 basic mechanical skill and tools
FIRST Make sure your tank is fairly empty!!! REMOVE THE FUEL STRIP AND INSTALL THE FLOAT (I DON'T HAVE THE PICTURES SHOWING THAT )float for GSA on the fuel pump picture one
Now time to make it work
For the ZFE to be able to read the new sensor you need to swop the pins in the main connector pin 34 (green with red trace )and 35(brown with blue trace) needs to be moved to 21 and 37 on the ZFE connector
Picture 2
Check the pictures on how to disassemble the connector and remove blanking pins.
After removing transparent retainer push on the black and white inserts they will come out then remove the top part by pressing four little clips in every corner
Next, remove blanking pins in the location 37 black connector and 21 white connectors.
Swop the cable and insert blanking pins in the old locations 34,35 this will stop moisture going into the connector
On the pictures below...
Programming!
Without this computer "ZFE" doesn't know you just installed float type sensor...
Connect the cable find your bike on the list K25ADV in my case...
Go to central chase electronics ZFE
and find Thermo Coupler FLS 08 and change the value to Potentiometer. Press CODE
Next, find INDUCTIVE FUEL SENSOR change to"deactivate" press code.
You're done! Your old lady finally knows how to measure fuel properly no more yellow triangle...
Install the tank and other connectors.
Why BMW didn't do that on the recall???
You can get fuel float on ebuy or Motorworks for about 40-80 subject to availability I guess...
If anyone needs more explanation just ask If not me maybe someone else will assist you
I'm using a spare pump with sensor to demonstrate how it works
float is already in the tank...
Good luck with the conversion.

Hi
This conversion works on the adventure, I have tried several normal GS models with a low ZFE, and no joy.
Must be due to the ZFE as everything else is the same.
