Engine stalls.it happened once in the middle of an intersection in traffic.not good on a motorcycle.it has stalled from day one since I bought it.
Stalling @ low speeds
Random low speed stalling, approaching intersections, rounding corners and low speed and in parking lots.
The motorcycle stalls off idle repetitively. The engine completely cuts out and shuts off unless you hold the throttle at a high RPM. The engine idles fine normally, it just suddenly cuts out. My first experience was while going onto a freeway on ramp in downtown los angeles and I was very close to being rear ended by a car. The on ramp was a stop and go traffic controlled ramp. It also does it while maneuvering around parking lots, etc.
I bought this bike 2 weeks ago I'm noticing it has a bad stutter at lower rpms and a tendency to randomly stall.
Engine will unexpectedly stall when starting to drive or shifting to up or down. It has caused me to fall three times. The first time it happened the first week I took delivery while driving up my driveway the bike fell and landed on a rock. Second time while leaving on a trip from my driveway, it stall on take off and fell in the road. Neither time did I get hurt but I could have falling in the street. The third I was turning into a side street the bike stalled when I down shifted, the dike fell and I went over the handle bars and landed on my shoulder on the pavement and hurt my shoulder and elbow. It has also stalled other times without falling. The falls have happened while the bike was moving slowly.
The motorcycle will randomly stall while in motion shortly after take-off (particularly during very slight throttle openings such as making a left or right turn from a stop) or during deceleration after pulling the clutch. I've experienced numerous instances where the bike stalled while pulling into or across traffic and one instance resulting in the bike falling during a u-turn due to the sudden loss of power during a stall which combined with the tight angle of the turn made for an unpreventable fall. I have sustained no injuries from these events, but a few were very close calls. I have learned though personal research into seeking a fix to this issue that this is an almost universal problem with this model of motorcycle, so serious injury or death to someone is likely inevitable without a fix to this issue.
My motorcycle will experience stumbling and stalls while taking off at random intervals. This is unsafe during traffic conditions as it has the potential to cause an accident. It places me at risk of being rear-ended or stalled in an intersection.
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.
The bike since new has been stalling intermittently with off idle hesitation that makes it dangerous to ride in heavy traffic. The bike will frequently stall when accelerating from stop light causing hazardous situations with cars following behind since the motor will just sputter and quit.
