2010 BMW K1300 GT: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jul 15, 2019 · Fuel system · 24,000 miles · CO

The vehicle stalls when decelerating to low speed or to a stop. It has happened multiple times and most often when the vehicle is hot after lengthy driving in weather in excess of 90 degrees f. This is a widely recognized problem for this model and year and there has been a recall issued. My vehicle has no open recalls, so I assume it has been recalled for this problem (I am second owner). Bike has 24000 miles and the problem persists despite presumed recall remedy. This happened to me on interstate, middle lane when traffic slowed...very dangerous.

When accelerating around 4500 to 5500 RPM, the engine bogs and the motorcycle loses speed. Other times, and at cruising speeds, when turning the throttle to accelerate at lower speeds, the bike does not accelerate immediately and takes a couple of seconds before it accelerates. When pulling in the clutch to change gears, the engine stalls. This can happen in the middle of a turn or driving down a straight road. This happens randomly.

My switches, right&left, both failed for the 2nd time in about 3 years. My right side switch failed while I was riding my bike, causing its stalling! So above and beyond the switch issues, the stalling issue is the most annoying as that can directly effect your safety. I think a couple k1300s drivers have reported crashes because of it. That is certainly nothing to be downplayed. You know why reports are coming out now that bmw is finally looking into the problem? Because people filed the reports, complained on the forums and called bmwna to see what the heck was going on and for them to get off their arzsses! I am trying to encourage those of us who have been or may be impacted by these problems (switch failures and now the stalling) to take proactive ownership of the problem and not leave our collective safety in the hands of bmwna. Now, if the dealers don't have the switches (plano, tx and nashville, tn), it is bmwna's fault - no? If they know that bikes have had bad switches on them, bmw should issue a recall for those bikes that are affected, distribute enough switches to the dealers and replace them all! But, that is not happening. Why not? I'm sorry, but I don't buy into the "nothing you can do about that" theory. I don't care what the actual problem is, it can be fixed. Fixing it yourself and avoiding becoming stranded is not silly. "the problem is a little more complex then just cutting and splicing two wires together." do we know for certain when the problem switches were made? Do we know what bikes (made when?) will have the problem? When did the assembly line change to the allegedly "redesigned switches"?

The switches on the right handlebar, for the emergency engine off/engine-start functions failed! As a result engine dangerously stalled while in motion(almost crashed my bike), luckily I was traveling at only 30mph.

Engine has stalled numerous times since new. Third time in for this problem in a year. This condition creates a serious safety hazard. If it worsens, it will substantially impair the use or value of my motorcycle. Occurs with clutch in or out, in gear & in neutral. Happens at idle & at various speeds up to 50 MPH. Happens as soon as after five minutes of riding or after an hour of riding. Happens with one or two riders.
