Read complaints for BMW K 1300 GT (2009)
Downshifting the motorcycle stalls frequently upon slowing and pulling in the clutch. Usually this occurs at deceleration in second or first gear. One can see the rpm dip below the normal idle speed and then the bike stalls. This is quite dangerous as it occurs in normal riding conditions and occurs multiple times in one ride. Recently it occurred in heavy traffic and only my quick action avoided an accident. I tried everything the dealer recommended, fuel additives etc.. Nothing works - almost too dangerous to ride.
The contact owns a 2009 bmw k1 300 gt. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled. The motorcycle was repaired three times per nhtsa campaign number: 09v471000 (engine and engine cooling); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
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.
Engine cut out un-expectedly multiple times (5) during a 200 mile trip. First time this has happened in 18k miles, but very scary, of course it happens at the most inopportune time, in traffic. At idle, it quits, or, worse, cuts off when downshifting. Multiple posts to the moa confirm that this issue is common if not predictable sooner or later. Very concerned for safety of myself and my passenger(s)btw, moa is the official bmw motorcycle owners association of which i am a member. Thanks
For a few weeks prior to the incident, i could smell fuel when i parked the bike. There were no visible leaks. I planned to take it to the dealership to be looked at, whenever the next opportunity presented itself. On tuesday april 29, 2014, i rode 17 miles to work. The bike ran well and there was no evidence of trouble. It rained while i was working and 10 hours later when i came out of my work place the bike was wet. I toweled the seat dry and set off for home. The rear tire lost traction at low acceleration but i dismissed it to cold tires and wet pavement. The tires were new continentalcontamination m that had been installed about two weeks prior. On the first 1/8 of a mile to the first stop light i felt what i thought was water on my right leg. Because it has rained, i dismissed it as water from the faring of the bike. But as i turned onto the main street the road turned dry but my right leg and sneaker was getting soaked. I could smell gasoline and see that the liquid was oily. At about 1.8 miles from work i pulled over and saw that there was gasoline soaking the engine, my leg, the exhaust, and the ground. Vaporized fuel was steaming from the surface of the exhaust. I immediately shut the bike off and within a few minutes the gasoline evaporated and was gone. The leak stopped as soon as i turned the ignition off. I parked the bike and called for road side assistance. Luckily there was no fire. Updated10/23/2014
Engine stalls and / or loses power in hot weather. I have had numerous stalling episodes with this bike. It will stallafter being in steady cruisefor 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).
