I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE NEW, WITH 2 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS >4000 MILES. STARTED STALLING AT ABOUT 1500 MILES. --WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATION IS UNRELIABLE, CAUSING A STALL MIDWAY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN FIRST GEAR, CONSISTENTLY. --THE BIKE ALSO STALLS WHILE RIDING, WHEN I PULL IN THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT (FIRST TIME WAS AT 40 MPH) THE BIKE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF GEAR, SPEED, ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - I MAY STALL AND CRASH IN AN INTERSECTION OR LOSE FORCE WHILE TURNING AND CRASH IF THE BIKE STOPS RUNNING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN I STOP THE BIKE AND USE TH KILL SWITCH TO TURN IT OFF, IT DOES NOT RESTART WITHOUT TURNIGN THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN (ELECTRONIC RESET?) AND THE "EWS" LIGHT COMES ON. NO SHOP INCLUDING BMW IS ABLE TO READ THE FAULT CODES, LET ALONE FIX THE ECU PROBLEM. THE ECU I KNOW HAS NEVER BEEN UPDATED SINCE DEC 2013 (PER THE SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT IT). I HAVE TRIED AFTERMARKET FIXES (BOOSTER PLUG AND POWER COMMANDER) AND THE BIKE REVERTED BACK TO STALLING. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED ALL AFTERMARKET ENGINE "FIXES" AND PAID FOR A COMPLETE TUNE-UP TIP TO TAIL, AND THE BIKE HAS STILL REVERTED TO STALLING. IT IS A PERSISTENT BUT UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM AND THE ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE UPGRADED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
