What owners report
I purchased this 2009 BMW K1300GT used from a dealer 3 weeks ago. He only let me do a short test drive around the block and it ran fine. I purchased it and began riding it daily to and from work, 48 miles round trip. There are 6 lights and 4 Stop sighs on my route. If I do a slow roll through a stop it comes close to stalling. If there are several cars ahead of me at a stop sign, or I hit a red light and have to wait awhile or sit through three lights at traffic hour, it stalls while I'm waiting. This has happened many times. Yesterday during traffic hour I was at a red light that cycled three times until I got through it. The bike stalled five times there. One time it stalled at a
ENGINE STALLS AND / OR LOSES POWER IN HOT WEATHER. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS STALLING EPISODES WITH THIS BIKE. IT WILL STALL AFTER BEING IN STEADY CRUISE FOR 30 MINUTES AT 4000 RPM. IT ALSO STALLS REPEATEDLY IN VERY HOT WEATHER (95-100 DEGREES) AND WILL NOT RESTART(SITTING STATIONARY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN TRYING TO START OFF AFTER LIGHT CHANGES). IF IT DOES RESTART IN THESE CONDITIONS, IT DOESN'T RESPOND TO THROTTLE OPENING AND WILL ONLY REV TO 2000-3000 RPM AND WILL BOG DOWN IF THROTTLE IS OPENED FURTHER. I HAVE HAD INSTANCES WHERE THE ENGINE WON'T STAY RUNNING AFTER START( ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS AND THEN DIES).
STALLS WHEN CLUTCH IS ENGAGED AND ENGINE SHOULD COME TO IDLE. THE TYPICAL SITUATION IS WHEN PREPARING TO STOP FOR AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER ROAD CONDITION THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE ENGINE TO BE TEMPORARILY DISENGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY RIDE. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT OPINED "THEY ALL DO THAT".
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 BMW K 1300 GT MOTORCYCLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT FROM THE SECOND TO THIRD GEAR, BUT THE GEAR SHIFT FRACTURED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED THE MOTORCYCLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNUSUAL AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,700.
ENGINE STOPS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING STOP AND GO IN CITY TRAFFIC UNDER 10 TO 15 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2010. BMW HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS. THE ENGINE STILL STOPS. I KEEP COMPLAINING TO BMW. TOLD TO GET LOST.
