2013 BMW C650 GT Maxi-Scooter Engine Problems

“After completing a turn onto city street it just quit as if you hit the kill switch. I was 3 miles from home and it did this again twice before I reached home. It failed to start again at the gated entrance. At this point when I tried to restart it had lost all compression. Clear to me that the recall on that issue was the problem. I pushed it the rest of the way home.”

“Bike stalling at low speed and without warning. Was in slow moving traffic and went to accelerate and bike stalled. In order to restart, need to apply brake and start. Truck behind almost rear ended me as I was restarting. The bike has stalled several times in the past 3 days, all at low speed and coasting.”

“Scooter has been stalling at very low speeds. It sometimes stalls when I come to a stop. It often stalls when I'm trying to maneuver it for parking. Today it almost died just as I was coming out of a turn. This could be a safety issue. Gas tank is full. It happens when it's both cold or after it's been run for a while. Just started happening after about 800 miles. Seems that this has been happening with other model owners as well.”

“I was 2nd in line at a stop sign. The truck ahead of me pulled out and I advanced. As I released the throttle to come to a stop the engine stalled. There was still power as all dash lights were on. The motor just quit. It happened 4 additional times that day with one time putting my life in peril as there was oncoming traffic and I had taken a right-on-red. Two days later it happened 2 times and then the day the dealership came to pickup the motorcycle I tested it in the parking lot one last time and it happened again. …”

“Bike stalls suddenly and completely at low speeds and in low speed turns. Loss of power and stability if it happens at turns. Stranded in intersections if stalling occurs stops with high risk of sideway collision. Cannot restart bike without engaging brake at a full stop. Problem repeats after first servicing.”
