Consumer Description

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. *TR
