2013 BMW C650 GT MAXI-SCOOTER Engine Problems

AFTER COMPLETING A TURN ONTO CITY STREET IT JUST QUIT AS IF YOU HIT THE KILL SWITCH. I WAS 3 MILES FROM HOME AND IT DID THIS AGAIN TWICE BEFORE I REACHED HOME. IT FAILED TO START AGAIN AT THE GATED ENTRANCE. AT THIS POINT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT HAD LOST ALL COMPRESSION. CLEAR TO ME THAT THE RECALL ON THAT ISSUE WAS THE PROBLEM. I PUSHED IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.

@ 1050 MILES: THE SCOOTER STARTED STALLING AT LOW SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I CAN NEVER PREDICT WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT DID IT ONCE WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR BEHIND BARLEY MISSED HITTING ME." YOU MUST APPLY THE BRAKE TO RESTART, SLOWING YOU WAY DOWN OR STOPPING YOU {DANGEROUS}, IT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THE FIRST CHANCE I HAD I TOOK IT TO THE BMW SERVICE CENTER 2/28/14 ABOUT A WEEK AFTER IT STARTED, IT IS STILL THERE. THEY SAID IT HADN'T DONE IT FOR THEM I TOLD THEM TO KEEP IT AND RIDE IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DIFFERENT TANKS OF GAS AND I ALWAYS USE PREMIUM BP SO FAR. *TR

BIKE STALLS SUDDENLY AND COMPLETELY AT LOW SPEEDS AND IN LOW SPEED TURNS. LOSS OF POWER AND STABILITY IF IT HAPPENS AT TURNS. STRANDED IN INTERSECTIONS IF STALLING OCCURS STOPS WITH HIGH RISK OF SIDEWAY COLLISION. CANNOT RESTART BIKE WITHOUT ENGAGING BRAKE AT A FULL STOP. PROBLEM REPEATS AFTER FIRST SERVICING. *TR

I WAS 2ND IN LINE AT A STOP SIGN. THE TRUCK AHEAD OF ME PULLED OUT AND I ADVANCED. AS I RELEASED THE THROTTLE TO COME TO A STOP THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WAS STILL POWER AS ALL DASH LIGHTS WERE ON. THE MOTOR JUST QUIT. IT HAPPENED 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES THAT DAY WITH ONE TIME PUTTING MY LIFE IN PERIL AS THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND I HAD TAKEN A RIGHT-ON-RED. TWO DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED 2 TIMES AND THEN THE DAY THE DEALERSHIP CAME TO PICKUP THE MOTORCYCLE I TESTED IT IN THE PARKING LOT ONE LAST TIME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SO DURING THE LAST THREE TIMES I HAVE STARTED/RIDDEN MY MOTORCYCLE IT HAS STALLED ON ME A TOTAL OF 8 TIMES. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS SITUATION IS THAT THE STARTING PROCEDURE FOR THIS MODEL REQUIRES YOU TO BE AT A COMPLETE STOP, PULL IN THE LEFT HAND BRAKE LEVER AND THEN PUSH THE START BUTTON. SO YOU HAVE TO BE AT A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO TURN OVER THE ENGINE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A CV (CONSTANT VELOCITY) TRANSMISSION. *TR

SCOOTER STALLED 7 TIMES BETWEEN JUNE 21 AND JUNE 23. AIR TEMP ABOVE 90 EACH DAY. ALL HAPPENED WHILE BIKE WAS COASTING. ON ONE OCCASION HAD ME CLENCHING BUTTOCKS FAIRLY HARD BECAUSE OF NEAR DROP IN A TURN DUE TO ENGINE SWITCHING TO FANCY GERMAN SILENCE MODE( LIKE AIRWOLF!) . BIKE PREVIOUSLY AT DEALER BECAUSE OF STALLING AFTER THROTTLE WAS GENTLY OPENED. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS TYPE OF STALLING AFTER 3 WEEKS AND 57 MILES. SERVICE MANAGER IMPLIED THAT THE STALLS MIGHT BE DRIVER INDUCED DUE TO HIS PERCEIVED THOUGHT OF ME NOT KNOWING HOW A CVT WORKS, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THE SERVICE MANAGER IS A &^%$** BAG AND DOESN'T KNOW THAT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE SCOOTER STALLING, AND EVEN IF THERE WAS, BMW WOULD..........I'M RAMBLING. THIS SCOOTER NOW STALLS WHEN THE BIKE IS DECELERATING AND AT IDLE COAST, JUST AFTER THE CLUTCH RELEASES. *TR

SCOOTER HAS BEEN STALLING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. IT SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN I COME TO A STOP. IT OFTEN STALLS WHEN I'M TRYING TO MANEUVER IT FOR PARKING. TODAY IT ALMOST DIED JUST AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A TURN. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. GAS TANK IS FULL. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S BOTH COLD OR AFTER IT'S BEEN RUN FOR A WHILE. JUST STARTED HAPPENING AFTER ABOUT 800 MILES. SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH OTHER MODEL OWNERS AS WELL. *TR
