BMW G650GS 2009 MOTORCYCLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN DECELERATING. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS. WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN, BUT STALL AS SOON AS I RELEASE THE THROTTLE. AUTHORIZED BMW DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT ISSUE PERSISTS. I FOUND A RELATED RECALL DATED 12/19/2009 - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 09V499000 - NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE09051 - BUT DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL FOR 2013 TO 2016 BMW G650GS MODELS FOR STALLING ISSUES. THE STALLING SEEMS TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT CORRECTED.

RUNS FINE, THEN STALLS AT STOP, HAVE TO KEEP RPM'S ABOVE 2000 TO KEEP RUNNING, LET IT SIT FOR A TIME, THEN IT'S FINE, AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, NEVER KNOWING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

ENGINE FREQUENTLY STALLS AT IDLE, INCLUDING WHEN SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT STALLS BETWEEN GEARS IF NOT SHIFTING FAST ENOUGH, CREATING A DANGEROUS ENGINE OFF SCENARIO ON A HIGHWAY. DEALER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH OWNERS OF THIS MOTORCYCLE. *TR

MY MOTORCYCLE WILL START AND RUN FOR A WHILE BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE ENGINE GETS DOWN TO IDLE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT PERSISTENT AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONE DAY, BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ARISE AGAIN. WHEN THE BIKE IS RUNNING AND I 'M UP AT SPEED IT RUNS FLAWLESSLY, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN THE BIKE DOESN'T WANT TO IDLE AND IT WILL DIE WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR IF I KEEP IN THE CLUTCH TOO LONG AND THE RPM DROPS TOO LOW. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME INSTANCES WHERE I'VE COME TO A STOP, NEEDED TO GO ABRUPTLY, AND WASN'T ABLE TO BECAUSE MY BIKE HAD JUST DIED, CREATING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. *TR
