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.

Vehicle stalling at slow speeds.
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.
Motorcycle stalls (engine ceases operating) at low speed primarily when stopping. It does not do this at every attempted stop but more often than not during the course of a day's ride of approximately 200 miles.
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.
Vehicle stalled out three times within ten minutes. Vehicle is new and is utilizing proper octane fuel. Vehicle stalled in the middle of the road and restarted each time when the starting steps were utilized. Very dangerous to have the unit stall while operating on a regular basis.
3 engine stalls at low speed on three consecutive days. Luckily not at an intersection or around other vehicles. Many reports of the same problem on owners internet forums.
My vehicle is a scooter style motorcycle that has been having a sporadic low speed stalling issue. It most often occurs when the vehicle is slowing down, coming to a stop or preparing to accelerate from a stop. Bmw representatives have not been able to fix despite numerous attempts. They have opened internal cases and have not resolved the issue. This is dangerous because if a rider is attempting to pull out into the flow of traffic it could stall causing time delay and potentially oncoming traffic to strike a stalled scooter. It also can occur in turns where loss of power could cause to operator to drop the scooter causing injury and potentially the operator and passenger being run over. It has recently been in the shop (4-24-13 to 5-2-13) and since has stalled 4 time three in parking lots ,1 on a surface feeder road. The first incident was in the dealer parking lot picking it up from the 5-2-13. It stalled 5-3-13 on the feeder road at 1835 hrs and 5-4-13 1135 hrs and 1158 hrs. Have reported to the dealer the issue still remains.
Stalling and complete shut down of all components. Has stalled out now six additional times. Now at 500 miles and scheduled for service.
Slow speed stalling, repetitive problem. Taken to dealer. Has happened at least twice since.
