2009 BMW K 1300 GT MOTORCYCLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CLUTCH IS DISENGAGED AT SLOW SPEEDS. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I OWN A 2009 BMW K 1300 GT. I RIDE EXTENSIVELY AND AM EXPERIENCING STALLING WHEN DECELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE STALLING SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND THE BIKE WARM. IT IS ERRATIC AND HAS OCCURRED 30 TIMES OVER THE SUMMER. NOW THAT IT IS COOLER THE STALLING IS LESS FREQUENT. WHEN THIS OCCURS MY BRAKING SERVO AND LIGHTS GO OUT. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT NIGHT AT STOP LIGHTS WHEREAS THE SURPRISE STALL CAUSES FUMBLING TO RESTART PLUS I AM NOT AS VISIBLE TO OTHER VEHICLES WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN IT OCCURS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING DURING MY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC COMMUTE ON A 55 MPH ROAD WITH STOP LIGHTS. I WAS AGAIN VULNERABLE BECAUSE I PRESENTED A HAZARD BY IMMOBILITY TO OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN STALLED SEVERAL MIND SEQUENCES OCCUR THAT TAKE YOUR FOCUS OFF THE SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT ON THE HIGHWAY......"THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, WHAT HAPPENED, NO FUEL? ACCIDENTAL KILL SWITCH BUMP? ELECTRICAL FAILURE. TRY TO RESTART" I HAVE TAKEN THE MOTORCYCLE TO MY DEALER WHO STATED THAT BMW WAS "AWARE" AND MOST CERTAINLY WORKING ON IT. THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECOGNITION BY BMW OF THE PROBLEM. THEY DID A COMPUTER CHECK, DID SOME FUEL TWEAKS TO NO AVAIL. *TR

MOTORCYCLE STALLS OFTEN WHILE DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR. I COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER AS MOTORCYCLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COULD NOT FIND A FAULT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OTHER PERSONS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT "BMW IS WORKING ON IT". *TR

MY 2009 BMW K1300GT MOTORCYCLE STALLS WHILE SLOWING WITH THE CLUTCH PULLED IN. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF BMW K1300 SERIES MOTORCYCLES ARE HAVING THE SAME STALLING ISSUES AND OTHER STALLING ISSUES AND BMW IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. MY MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION WHICH OF COURSE IS VERY DANGEROUS. OWNERS ARE PLEADING WITH BMW TO RECALL THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE DOING NOTHING. WE PLEASE ASK THAT YOU TO TAKE ACTION WITH BMW ON THIS ONGOING MATTER. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 BMW K1300GT MOTORCYCLE, THE ENGINE IS STALLING UPON CLUTCH DISENGAGEMENT- ITS OCCURRENCE IS RANDOM AND HAS HAPPEN A FEW TIMES FOR ME. *TR

I OWN A 2009 BMW K1300GT MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN THE CLUTCH DISENGAGES POWER FROM THE ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WELL-DOCUMENTED BY BMW MOTORCYCLE DEALER SERVICE SHOPS. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO IMPLEMENT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AS UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
