ENGINE

I WAS DECELERATING AND DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR AT 4 MPH, I PULLED THE CLUTCH IN AND COASTED TO A STOP THEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I TRIED TO START BUTTON, BUT THERE WAS NO CATCHING. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND ACCELERATED THE RPM'S TO 4000 THEN THE BIKE TOOK OFF ABRUPTLY. ONE THOUSAND FEET LATER, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT 5 MPH AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AGAIN. A HALF MILE LATER I WAS IN FIRST GEAR INTO A CORNER AT 5 MPH THEN THE ENGINE DIED. THERE WAS NO STARTING WITH THE START BUTTON, SO I POPPED THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE STARTED AND I ACCELERATED. AS LONG AS I KEPT THE RPM'S HIGH THERE WAS NO STALLING, BUT IF I CAN TO A STOP, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED FIVE TIMES TODAY!!!! I ALMOST WRECKED IN THE CURVE WHEN THE ENGINE DIED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM

NEW BMW K 1300S 2009. ENGINE STALLING SINCE JULY 2009 HAS BECOME WORSE. I'VE HAD A COUPLE NEAR MISSES ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VERY FEATURES I GOT THE MOTORCYCLE FOR ( THE ENGINE, BRAKES, HANDLEBAR SWITCHES) ALL HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE WITH THE BMW AND THE K 1300S, AND I QUESTION AFTER ALL THE RECALLS I MENTIONED HOW MANY MORE WILL SURFACE. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THE STALLING OVER 70 TIMES. BMW OF MANHATTAN HAS ASSURED ME MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE STALLING WOULD BE CORRECTED WITH SOME SOFTWARE, BUT THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. BMW OF MANHATTAN HAS BEEN WORKING ON THE MOTORCYCLE THIS TIME AROUND FOR OVER 28 DAYS AND COUNTING WITH NO ANSWERS.

BIKE STALLS ON DECEL AND CLUTCH PULLED IN. IT RESTARTS OK. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. TOLD DEALER ABOUT STALLING AND THEY ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING DURING TEST RIDE AFTER 600 MILE SERVICE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

MOTORCYCLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 7 TIMES FOR STALLING AND 3 OF THESE TIMES IT REQUIRED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. THE BIKE IS AT BMW MOTORCYCLES OF FT. WORTH NOW, AFTER BEING TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTORCYCLE BUT IT'S CLEARLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. I NEARLY GOT RAN OVER BY A LOGGING TRUCK IN ARKANSAS WHEN THE BIKE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC AND BMW OF FT. WORTH REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND SPECIFICALLY MY MOTORCYCLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THE NHTSA DOESN'T STEP IN AND FORCE A RECALL OF 2009-2010 BMW K1300S AND K1300GT MODELS. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, CHECK IBMW.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION.

I HAVE A BRAND NEW BMW K1300S MOTORCYCLE WITH BARELY 1000 MILES ON IT THAT STALLS A RANDOM INTERVALS AND TYPICALLY WHEN GOING TO IDLE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BACK TIRE TO LOCK UP/SKID AND COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A FALL. OTHER RIDERS HAVE BEEN INJURED AND ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED ON THESE BIKES. BMW KNOWS BUT CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

PURCHASED NEW 2010 BMW K1300S MOTORCYCLE FROM RIDE WEST BMW, LAKE CITY WAY, SEATTLE. UNIT HAD 3 MILES ON ODOMETER ON DELIVERY. AT 5PM I LEFT THE DEALER (THEY ALSO CLOSE AT 5PM) AND HEADED HOME, APPROXIMATELY 32 MILES. THE BIKE STALLED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO MILES WHILE DOWNSHIFTING ON THE ON-RAMP TO I-5 SOUTH. I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE HOME. THE NEXT 27 MILES HAD NO ISSUE. UPON EXITING THE FREEWAY AND DOWNSHIFTING IT IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND ONCE AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE TO MY HOME. THE LAST STALL OCCURRED AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALER ON 9/29 WHEN THEY OPEN TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHERS WHO HAVE APPARENTLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I FEEL THAT WITHOUT MY 30+ YEARS OF RIDING EXPERIENCE THESE STALLS COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. ****YOUR VEHICLE DESCRIPTION PAGE DOES NOT LIST BMW MODELS FOR THE 2010 MODEL LINE.****

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

ENGINE STALLS (TURNS OFF) WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO 25-35 MPH IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER 250 MILES ON THE ENGINE, AND NOW IT OCCURS EVERY RIDE. THIS MEANS YOU NEVER CAN TRUST A DOWN SHIFT BECAUSE THE ENGINE MAY STOP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE IMMEDIATE POWER WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS, YOU MUST DO A RESTART. I HAVE TAKEN THE BMW K1300S TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY ADMIT BMW DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THE DEALER CONTACTED BMW AND ADVISED THEM TO REMOVE AIRBOX AND CLEAN VENTURI AND BUTTERFLY PLATES OF THROTTLE BODIES. ADDITIONALLY, FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN FUEL TANK WAS ADDED. BIKE STILL STALLS AND DEALER IS UNABLE TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION AT THIS TIME.
