What owners report
ENGINE FREQUENTLY STALLS AT IDLE, INCLUDING WHEN SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT STALLS BETWEEN GEARS IF NOT SHIFTING FAST ENOUGH, CREATING A DANGEROUS ENGINE OFF SCENARIO ON A HIGHWAY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE. *TR
MY MOTORCYCLE WILL START AND RUN FOR A WHILE BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE ENGINE GETS DOWN TO IDLE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT PERSISTENT AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONE DAY, BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ARISE AGAIN. WHEN THE BIKE IS RUNNING AND I 'M UP AT SPEED IT RUNS FLAWLESSLY, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN THE BIKE DOESN'T WANT TO IDLE AND IT WILL DIE WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR IF I KEEP IN THE CLUTCH TOO LONG AND THE RPM DROPS TOO LOW. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INSTANCES WHERE I'VE COME TO A STOP, NEEDED TO GO ABRUPTLY, AND WASN'T ABLE TO BECAUSE MY BIKE HAD JUST DIED, CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. *TR

MY 2009 BMW G650GS MOTORCYCLE HAS 1346 MILES ON IT. THIS AFTERNOON I WENT OUT FOR A RIDE AND FORTUNATELY I CUT THE RIDE SHORT BECAUSE AS I ROUNDED THE CORNER FOR MY HOME I SMELLED GASOLINE. AS I PULLED UP IN THE DRIVEWAY GAS WAS POURING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BIKE. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE SEAT OFF AND LIFTED THE COVER TO THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS WAS POURING OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP HOSE. TURNS OUT THE CLAMP ON THE FUEL PUMP HOSE HAD NEVER BEEN CRIMPED AND EVENTUALLY THE HOSE HAD WORKED ITS WAY LOOSE. I LUCKED OUT BECAUSE I COULD HAVE GONE DOWN IN A BLAZE OF GLORY. BMW NEEDS TO ADD THIS TO THEIR SAFETY CHECK LIST. *TR
