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
