2009 BMW K1300 S Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

ENGINE STALLS CONSTANTLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SOMETIMES STALLS WHEN JUST CRUISING. *TR

HAD STALLING RECALL PERFORMED IN APPROXIMATELY JANUARY 2011. SOFTWARE UPDATE HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE STALLING CONDITION. THE ENGINE STILL STALLS UNDER A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN STOP AND GO RIDING. PREVIOUS RECALL HAS FAILED TO CORRECT THE STALLING PROBLEM. *TR

BIKE STALLS ON DECEL AND CLUTCH PULLED IN. IT RESTARTS OK. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS IS VERY INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. TOLD DEALER ABOUT STALLING AND THEY ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING DURING TEST RIDE AFTER 600 MILE SERVICE.*TR

MOTORCYCLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 7 TIMES FOR STALLING AND 3 OF THESE TIMES IT REQUIRED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. THE BIKE IS AT BMW MOTORCYCLES OF FT. WORTH NOW, AFTER BEING TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MOTORCYCLE BUT IT'S CLEARLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. I NEARLY GOT RAN OVER BY A LOGGING TRUCK IN ARKANSAS WHEN THE BIKE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC AND BMW OF FT. WORTH REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND SPECIFICALLY MY MOTORCYCLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THE NHTSA DOESN'T STEP IN AND FORCE A RECALL OF 2009-2010 BMW K1300S AND K1300GT MODELS. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, CHECK IBMW.COM...

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

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2009 BMW K1300S MOTORCYCLE THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 30 APR 09. SINCE THE BIKE WAS PURCHASED THE ENGINE STALLS REPEATEDLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, USUALLY BELOW 25 MPH, AND PULLING THE CLUTCH IN. THE FREQUENCY OF STALLS HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 2000 MILES TO THE POINT WERE THE BIKE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND HAS OCCURRED WITH REGULARITY WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. OFTEN WHEN THE BIKE DOESN'T STALL IT TRIES TO STALL BUT KEEPS RUNNING. THE BIKE HAS STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A FEW OCCASIONS BUT NOT OFTEN. THE STALLING ALWAYS OCCURS WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN AND THERE'S NO WARNING WHEN THE BIKE IS ABOUT TO STALL. *TR

PURCHASED MAY 2009,NEW,BMW K1300S MOTORCYCLE. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION ON A REGULAR BASIS. MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN DECELERATION BUT HAS ALSO FAILED DURING UPSHIFTS FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR. DEALER HAS REPLACED A FAULTY SWITCH, THIS HELPED LESSEN THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE BIKE FAILS BUT IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. RECENTLY THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, RESULTING IN A NEAR REAR END COLLISION AS THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST FAILED TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON MANY BIKES OF THIS MODEL,. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER BMW DOES NOT HAVE A METHOD TO CURE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO BMW NORTH AMERICA. IF BMW IS UNABLE TO CURE THE PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE BMW TO PURCHASE THE BIKE BACK. *TR

NEW 2009 BMW K1300S MOTOR CYCLE RANDOMLY STALLS AND DIES WHEN CLUTCH IS PULLED IN. *TR

I HAVE A BMW K1300S PURCHASED IN APRIL WITH JUST OVER 2000 MILES ON IT. I WAS OUT RIDING THIS PAST SATURDAY AND HAD A NEAR FALLOVER AT SLOW SPEEDS WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND TURNING LEFT, THE BIKE STALLED AND I NEARLY FELL OVER. I WAS ABLE TO SAVE IT WITH THE HELP OF SOME PEDESTRIANS THAT WERE NEAR BY. THE BIKE SEEMS HAVE BEEN RUNNING OK UP TO THIS POINT AND ON THIS DAY IT STALLED OUT ON ME 5 TIMES ALL THANKFULLY WHILE I WAS IN TOWN AND AT SLOW SPEEDS. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN. THANKFULLY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE AT FASTER SPEEDS OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT!!! *TR

WHILE DECELERATING A MOTORCYCLE AND PULLING THE CLUTCH, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES. THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE RE-STARTED TO RUN. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES SINCE I FIRST TOOK DELIVERY OF THE MOTORCYCLE 1 MONTH AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CAN BE IN AT A HIGH SPEED AND THE OPERATOR LOOSES THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. SO FAR, THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS AS I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED IN THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND BEEN INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, THAT THE VEHICLE'S EXHAUST VALVE IS CLOSING WHEN THE ENGINE APPROACHES IDLE AND THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER HAS A LOG OF THE FAULT CODE, BUT THE...

I HAVE A NEW BMW K1300S WITH LESS THAN 1000MI THAT HAS STALLED 2X IN VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. THE FIRST STALL OCCURRED ON JULY 11TH, WHEN JUST STARTED RIDING ON A FAIRLY COOL DAY (50-DEGREES F) AND I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND THE BIKE DIED. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS ACTUALLY TAKING THE BIKE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE INITIAL 600MI SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP MADE LIGHT OF THE SITUATION AND IN FACT DIDN'T EVEN WRITE DOWN THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE SECOND STALL OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER ONLY ANOTHER 300MI. IN THIS INSTANCE, I HAD JUST STARTED RIDING FOR THE DAY AND IT WAS AGAIN A COOL DAY. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN LEFT (20MPH IN 2ND GEAR) AND ONCE AGAIN THE BIKE STALLED. IN THIS INSTANCE THE REAR WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I WENT DOWN. THE...

MOTORCYCLE FREQUENTLY STALLS, WITHOUT WARNING, WHEN DECELERATING AND CLUTCH LEVER IS PULLED IN, USUALLY IN SECOND GEAR. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE ENGINE MUST BE RESTARTED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. *TR
