I'm sure they will find the cause..... maybe the hall sensor.

Fuel line(s) inside the tank?

Thanks for your help and suggestions
Found some help at a service station
A mechanic with m/cycle experience
Told him what you suggested
HE WAS ABLE TO GET SPARK
But weak spray of gas
So
He called a SF BMW dealer who helped to diagnose
He recommended a new fuel pump
One should here from SF By Friday
Will keep you posted
Sitting in a motel and thankful for your help
Cheers

New complete fuel pump assembly installed
And it is now running fine.
Big smiles all around
Thank you for your support and advice
Lessons learned."...
On me: Fuel filter from 03 ...Bike stored for 8 months a year (for many years)
thanks
to the mechanic's resourcefulness and persistence
SF BMW for the on phone diagnostics and the expedited delivery of the pump
Three days from ?????
to running..... amazing
On the road again

Glad it worked out for you.
SF BMW helped us out years ago during a trip, got us into shop for repairs ASAP and back on the road to continue trip.
