Consumer Description

SCOOTER STALLED 7 TIMES BETWEEN JUNE 21 AND JUNE 23. AIR TEMP ABOVE 90 EACH DAY. ALL HAPPENED WHILE BIKE WAS COASTING. ON ONE OCCASION HAD ME CLENCHING BUTTOCKS FAIRLY HARD BECAUSE OF NEAR DROP IN A TURN DUE TO ENGINE SWITCHING TO FANCY GERMAN SILENCE MODE( LIKE AIRWOLF!) . BIKE PREVIOUSLY AT DEALER BECAUSE OF STALLING AFTER THROTTLE WAS GENTLY OPENED. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS TYPE OF STALLING AFTER 3 WEEKS AND 57 MILES. SERVICE MANAGER IMPLIED THAT THE STALLS MIGHT BE DRIVER INDUCED DUE TO HIS PERCEIVED THOUGHT OF ME NOT KNOWING HOW A CVT WORKS, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THE SERVICE MANAGER IS A &^%$** BAG AND DOESN'T KNOW THAT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THE SCOOTER STALLING, AND EVEN IF THERE WAS, BMW WOULD..........I'M RAMBLING. THIS SCOOTER NOW STALLS WHEN THE BIKE IS DECELERATING AND AT IDLE COAST, JUST AFTER THE CLUTCH RELEASES. *TR
