ENGINE

this motorcycle has repeatedly stalled as i decelerate to a stop. the day of this report it stalled 5 times. the dealer has not been able to determine why this happens after several inspections by the dealer. the motorcycle restarts immediately but it is a safety issue since braking and traffic flow problems are created by this stalling. this issue has been recurring for the year i have owned this vehicle.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

fuel pump mounting boss for fuel line connection cracked. fuel sprays onto back of engine and flows on to the exhaust system, i saw smoke coming from under bike when stopped at end of driveway. saw fuel running down the side of the engine on to the exhaust. the motorcycle was not fully warm, it had been running only 1-2 minutes. based on the flow of leaking fuel, the motorcycle would have caught fire when the engine and exhaust reached normally operating temperature. this failure has been documented at k-bikes.com and i-bmw.com and on this complaint site.
