This Problem Across All Years
I purchased this 2009 BMW K1300GT used from a dealer 3 weeks ago. He only let me do a short test drive around the block and it ran fine. I purchased it and began riding it daily to and from work, 48 miles round trip. There are 6 lights and 4 Stop sighs on my route. If I do a slow roll through a stop it comes close to stalling. If there are several cars ahead of me at a stop sign, or I hit a red light and have to wait awhile or sit through three lights at traffic hour, it stalls while I'm waiting. This has happened many times. Yesterday during traffic hour I was at a red light that cycled three times until I got through it. The bike stalled five times there. One time it stalled at a red light. Just before it turned green it stalled again, turning my rear lights off. There was a full size truck rolling up behind me very fast. Since it stalled out and the lights were off, it appeared to him that I was moving. At the last second he slammed on his brakes, I started the bike and quickly rode onto the shoulder and he drove by me still skidding. I would have been killed! The dealer never said a word about this well known and highly documented issue with this year, make and model of this BMW motorcycle.

DOWNSHIFTING THE MOTORCYCLE STALLS FREQUENTLY UPON SLOWING AND PULLING IN THE CLUTCH. USUALLY THIS OCCURS AT DECELERATION IN SECOND OR FIRST GEAR. ONE CAN SEE THE RPM DIP BELOW THE NORMAL IDLE SPEED AND THEN THE BIKE STALLS. THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT OCCURS IN NORMAL RIDING CONDITIONS AND OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE RIDE. RECENTLY IT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ONLY MY QUICK ACTION AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I TRIED EVERYTHING THE DEALER RECOMMENDED, FUEL ADDITIVES ETC.. NOTHING WORKS - ALMOST TOO DANGEROUS TO RIDE. *TR

ENGINE CUT OUT UN-EXPECTEDLY MULTIPLE TIMES (5) DURING A 200 MILE TRIP. FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN 18K MILES, BUT VERY SCARY, OF COURSE IT HAPPENS AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME, IN TRAFFIC. AT IDLE, IT QUITS, OR, WORSE, CUTS OFF WHEN DOWNSHIFTING. MULTIPLE POSTS TO THE MOA CONFIRM THAT THIS ISSUE IS COMMON IF NOT PREDICTABLE SOONER OR LATER. VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER(S)BTW, MOA IS THE OFFICIAL BMW MOTORCYCLE OWNERS ASSOCIATION OF WHICH I AM A MEMBER. THANKS *TR
