2009 BMW K1300 Gt

THE ENGINE STOPS WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BMW DEALERS 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 YEARS. I BARELY DROVE THE BIKE IN 2014. 1/23/2010 6.510 KM REPORTED TO BMW OF OKLAHOMA WORK DONE PROGRAMMING CONTROL UNIT OF ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY. 7/29/2011 33.234 KM REPORTED TO BMW ASHEVILLE SAME REPAIR AS FIRST TIME. 6/22/2013 65.734 KM REPORTED TO BMW ASHEVILLE SAME REPAIR AGAIN 7/8/2015 38493 MILES REPORTED TO BMW MONTREAL. RECOMMENDED REPLACE BOTH STEPPER (IDLE) MOTOR AND AIRBOX AT A COST OF OVER $1,000 7/9/2015 39000 MILES REPORTED TO BMW MECHANICSBURG, PA. SAME RECOMMENDATION AS BMW OF MONTREAL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON SIMILAR BIKES AND THAT THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS THE SOLUTION. IN ADDITION, THEY STATED THAT THE PRIOR MODEL TO MINE THE K1200 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT BMW HAD ISSUED A MECHANICAL ALERT AT THE TIME BUT NO ALERT HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR MY BIKE. I CALLED BMW USA TO COMPLAIN. I WAS DISMISSED WITH A RESPONSE THAT THE BIKE HAD PASSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD - NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE BIKE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE. BMW IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM WITH A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THE BIKE HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM: A MOTORCYCLE ENGINE SHOULD NOT STOP WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. WHEN DRIVING UNDER 15 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HAD A TENDENCY TO STOP. THE ENGINE STALLING HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ENGINE WOULD START RIGHT UP AFTERWARDS. UPDATED 08/10/16.*JB *JS *TR

I OWN A 2009 BMW K 1300 GT. I RIDE EXTENSIVELY AND AM EXPERIENCING STALLING WHEN DECELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE STALLING SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND THE BIKE WARM. IT IS ERRATIC AND HAS OCCURRED 30 TIMES OVER THE SUMMER. NOW THAT IT IS COOLER THE STALLING IS LESS FREQUENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS MY BRAKING SERVO AND LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT NIGHT AT STOP LIGHTS WHEREAS THE SURPRISE STALL CAUSES FUMBLING TO RESTART PLUS I AM NOT AS VISIBLE TO OTHER VEHICLES WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN IT OCCURS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING DURING MY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC COMMUTE ON A 55 MPH ROAD WITH STOP LIGHTS. I WAS AGAIN VULNERABLE BECAUSE I PRESENTED A HAZARD BY IMMOBILITY TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN STALLED SEVERAL MIND SEQUENCES OCCUR THAT TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT ON THE HIGHWAY......"THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, WHAT HAPPENED, NO FUEL? ACCIDENTAL KILL SWITCH BUMP? ELECTRICAL FAILURE. TRY TO RESTART" I HAVE TAKEN THE MOTORCYCLE TO MY DEALER WHO STATED THAT BMW WAS "AWARE" AND MOST CERTAINLY WORKING ON IT. THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECOGNITION BY BMW OF THE PROBLEM. THEY DID A COMPUTER CHECK, DID SOME FUEL TWEAKS TO NO AVAIL. *TR

MY NEW BMW MOTORCYCLE (MODEL K 1300 GT) IS EXPERIENCING FREQUENT ENGINE STALLS (STALLED 4 TIMES DURING 350 MILE RIDE) AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE STALLS OCCUR WITH OUT WARNING DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE MOTORCYCLE. I'VE STALLED ON EXIT RAMPS AND AT TRAFFIC SIGNALS DURING TURNING SITUATIONS. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER IS VERY DANGEROUS ON A MOTORCYCLE. *TR
