What owners report
AFTER THE SECOND BMW RECALL, I PICK UP THE MOTORCYCLE ON 01/05/18. AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, THE MOTORCYCLE CAN'T MAINTAIN IDLE OR STALL BEFORE A COMPLETE STOP. BMW DEALER DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, SINCE THIS IS A POSSIBLE SOFTWARE/FUEL MAP PROBLEM. IT'S NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS.
PROBLEM ONE: MOTORCYCLE GETS OVERHEAT VERY EASY AND THE FAN STARTS TO OPERATE SOON THEN ANTICIPATE, BLOWS THE HOT AIR INTO THE DRIVERS RIGHT SIDE LEG, MAKING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO OPERATE IN TRAFFIC. TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT COMFORTABLE, DRIVER MUST OPEN THE LEG FAIR AWAY FROM THE NORMAL SEAT POSITION AND FAIR AWAY FROM THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL. THESE IS NOT A SAFE WAY TO RIDE AND MUST BE FIX. THERE IS A LOT COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS SITUATION IN THE BMW FORUMS AND BMW KEEP SAYS IT'S "NORMAL". PROBLEM 2: THE KICKSTAND POSITION IN THESE MODEL WAS ADAPTED FROM A REGULAR VERSION OF THE BMW G650GS, WHICH IS 2 INCHES LOWER, THE BMW SERTAO IT'S 2 INCHES TALLER AND BMW ONLY EXTENDED THE KICKSTAND, THE ANGLE
ENGINE STILL DIES WHEN YOU PULL THE CLUTCH LEVER IN. I HAVE HAD TWO BMW SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGNS PERFORMED (16V-689 AND 15V-537) ON THIS MOTORCYCLE FOR THIS ISSUE, AND IT IS STILL NO OPERATING CORRECTLY OR SAFELY. I COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED BY THE BIKE STALLING. THE BIKE STALLS WHEN MOVING AT ANY SPEED, GENERALLY STALLS WHEN SLOWING, AND PULLING THE CLUTCH LEVER, COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ROUND ABOUT, STOP SIGN, OR JUST COMING TO A STOP, HOT OR COLD.
