What 2009 BMW R 1200 R Us owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Engine randomly (so random I cannot recreate) stalls at any altitude but more so at high altitude by simply pulling in the clutch lever. This condition is obviously a safety hazard and could involve rear end collisions or other. Bmw has not responded to dealership or myself with a fix for this condition. This complaint pertains to a 2009 k1300gtg but continued submission under different model because website wouldn't permit continuing unless a known model was selected from the drop down menu.
