While riding along a busy highway (522) in rush hour traffic the engine uncontrollably and repeatedly died. This has happened multiple times throughout a brief ownership and has been reported to the bmw dealer without resolve or acceptance of an issue. The motorcycle has died while in traffic changing lanes in a busy seattle area with the rear wheel to lock up at 30mph skidding due to the compression of the engine. Quite scary really. On the internet it is reported by many owners as being an issue and has stated that it is most likely that the fuel pump over heats due to the close proximity to the engine in warm weather and seizes.shutting off the fuel flow causing engine failure. This same engine is used on a variety of similar motorcycles built by bmw. I think this a serious safety issue and it would be a great bike if this issue was fixed.you know the reliability you expect from bmw!
