2013 BMW C650 GT MAXI-SCOOTER Complaints

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. *TR

INCIDENTS OF UNEXPECTED STALLING INCREASING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES NOW. NOT SAFE TO BE ON A MOTOR SCOOTER IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE MOTOR SHUT DOWN ON IT'S OWN. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

STALLING AND COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF ALL COMPONENTS. HAS STALLED OUT NOW SIX ADDITIONAL TIMES. NOW AT 500 MILES AND SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE. *TR

APPROACHING STOP SIGN AT LOW SPEED APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ENCOUNTERED ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE RESTARTED, HOWEVER AFTER STALL I HAD NO ABILITY TO MANEUVER. *TR
