“Bmw k 1300 s. The bike stalled out 6 times today. One of the stalls caused the bike to shut off at about 40 MPH causing a tip to the side. I have complained to my Bmw dealer max Bmw in nh a number of times, they opened a ticket with Bmw corporate and acknowledged the problem, but would not provide a fix for it.”
NHTSA complaint #10285058, filed 2009-09, 2,450 miles“This motorcycle was included in the previous NHTSA recall campaign number: 13v617000, for a fuel pump flange failure which would result in a fuel leak and potential fire, and worse. Since the recall, we've had 2 separate situations of fuel leakage while in motion. The first was november 18, 2017, traveling at speed along a straight highway, raw gasoline was smelled by the passenger. Fuel was dripping steadily over the lower engine components. The bike was not safe to return to the road, trucked back home. We were informed the recall had already been satisfied, all risks were ours to assume. …”
NHTSA complaint #11233327, filed 2019-07, 64,363 miles“2009 Bmw k1300s motorcycle randomly stalls and turn signals fail to operate. This has been reported by many owners and Bmw has failed to order a safety recall when I purchased the k1300s, the dealer exchanged it before I took delivery because of equipment failures.”
NHTSA complaint #10279039, filed 2009-08, 550 miles“2009 Bmw k1300s, engine stalls when clutch is engaged and fully rolling off the throttle. It's normal for the bike to stall 2 to 4 times during a 200 mile ride. Engine goes down to idle then stalls without any indication. Very dangerous to drive the bike as I've experience engine stalls in heavy traffic conditions and almost got ran over by a vehicle behind me. I reported the problem to the Bmw dealership I purchased the bike from with just 200 miles on this new Bmw k1300s. Dealership has made multiple attempts to fix the problem, ecu resets, software updates etc. But nothing has helped. …”
NHTSA complaint #10280531, filed 2009-08, 200 miles“I purchased a 2009 Bmw k1300s motorcycle a couple of months ago. There is a problem with the fueling system that allows the engine to stall intermittently during deceleration with the clutch engaged fully (no engine braking). This has happened approximately ten times in the first 1750 miles. The bike immediately restarts without issue. …”
