While operating the vehicle on the freeway for approx 20 min, after exiting the freeway and coming to a stop at a stoplight and then re-accellerating to 25mph, the timing chain tensioner moved, making a loud clacking sound allowing the timing chain to jump, resulting in bent valve stems etc. Symptoms were a loud clacking sound at startup - this noise would go away and return intermittently. I asked noble rush bmw lake city wa (now out of business) about this sound when my bike was in for the 6,000 mile service/bmw brake recall service this past summer, and was told it was normal after they took my bike for a test ride, especially at startup, and there was no issue. Wow were they ever wrong! My bike is currently in the shop and i am looking at at least a $3600.00 repair bill. A quick goodle about this sound and timing chain tensioner issue, yields quite a few stories from unhappy bmw c650gt owners all across the us and canada. Previous bmw c650gt model years were recalled due to this same issue, however i cannot find a recall for this issue for my bikes year, but i can however find many 2016 owners with the same problem.

Mi scooter has installed on two randon ocassions while coasting or sitting at a stop sign. According to my make and model forums this is an existing problem that bmw has no firm fix

Stalling in traffic at stop light/sign, and engine idles down and stalls. Sometimes stalls when starting off after a stop at a stop light. Had it checked at dealer, issue continues. Happens a few time during my daily commute.

The engine stalls when slowing for a stop or for a tight turn. It can then be restarted, but the idle may be inconsistent and can affect the cvt automatic transmission when decelerating in traffic. I purchased this motorcycle new in march (3/25/16). When i drove it home from the dealership and called them about the problem with stalling, they had to trailer it to the shop for diagnosis and testing due to safety concerns. The local dealership has had this bike in the shop for over a month, "researching" the issue with the factory technical reps.
