The bike stalls while in motion. Feels like the kill switch has been used but it has not. No pattern to speed, gear, or anything else. All power is gone but if you turn the key off and back on it will start and keep going until it happens again. Very dangerous on the freeway. Turning has nothing to do with it. It can happen at any time, in any gear, at any rpm. It has been going on for a year and dealers have no idea what to do.

Less than one week after taking ownership of the brand new motorcycle (august 2012) i experienced the first occurrence of the engine stalling when the vehicle slowed to a stop. Since then the machine has been returned to the dealership four times specifically to address this issue. While servicing sometimes appeared to improve the situation temporarily, in some cases the problem recurred within a few days of the service, and no permanent solution has ever resulted. At this time (march 2015, with about 27,000 miles on the vehicle) the problem is worse than ever. The stalling most often occurs in cool/cold weather, but has sometimes occurred in midsummer. It most often occurs within the first few miles after starting a morning ride, but has sometimes occurred after more than an hour of continuous operation. It often occurs exactly one time during a single ride, and sometimes does not occur at all during a single ride, but recently has occurred 7 times during a 50 mile ride and 12 times during a 76 mile ride. One incident occurred during execution of a left turn in traffic, which resulted in an unplanned and very dangerous abort of the intended turn and nearly caused a collision. Bmw's service organization is apparently either unwilling to, or incapable of, solving this issue, which i consider to be a very serious safety defect. *tr
