Engine randomly stalls (so random I cannot recreate) at any altitude but more so at high altitude by simply pulling in the clutch lever. This condition is obviously a safety hazard and could involve rear end collisions or other. BMW has not responded to dealership or myself with a fix for this condition.
I ride a BMW k1300gt motorcycle. My engine stalled at low speed...almost as if I had accidentally hit the engine kill switch. This has happened twice.
2009 BMW k1300gt engine stalling during normal operation. While driving around 40 miles per hour and down shifting from 4th gear to 3rd gear, the engine stalled for no apparent reason. Engine started back up after stall. Engine stalling during movement can be hazardous under many riding conditions.
