Consumer Description

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.**** *TR
