NHTSA Complaint #11528455 — 2020 BMW S 1000 XR

On multiple occasions the motorcycle engine has stopped/stalled as I approached a stop sign or traffic light and pulled in the clutch. In the most recent incident I was exiting a highway after several hours of riding, including multiple stops and starts and a range of speeds and weather conditions. I decelerated using engine braking from 6th to 1st gear, and then pulled in the clutch, whereupon the engine immediately stopped/stalled. I tried to restart it while still moving using the electric starter without success. I tried again after pulling to the side of the road, again without success. I moved the transmission to neutral, and still couldn't restart. Then I pulled in the clutch again, and the motorcycle began running. No other incident occurred during this day. No warnings or indicators were displayed on the dash. A few months ago, I had a similar situation. As I approached a "Y" in the road, decelerating using engine braking and downshifts, when I pulled in the clutch approaching the stop, the engine stalled/stopped. This time the adjoining road was pointed downhill, and I continued moving after making the right turn. Again, using the electric starter didn't work, but I was able to bump start the engine by releasing the clutch while in gear. I am concerned as this random loss of power doesn't appear to be covered by any recalls, can be found as an issue with other riders by Googling/Searching "2020 S1000XR Stall", and because the loss of power potentially places the rider in a dangerous situation in the road without the ability to move while traffic approaches from behind.
