“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10521290, filed 2013-06, 685 miles“Fuel gauge does not update after a fillup. If the gauge indicated 1/2 before fueling, it will continue to indicate 1/2 after filling up. Sometimes it will indicate some change, but seldom accurately. Example: the unit is filled up, but indicates 3/4. Just happened to me yesterday. Bmw denies this is happening.”
