 My 2009 bmw k1300gt motorcycle stalls while slowing with the clutch pulled in. many other owners of bmw k1300 series motorcycles are having the same stalling issues and other stalling issues and bmw is not addressing this issue. my motorcycle stalled while crossing an intersection which of course is very dangerous. owners are pleading with bmw to recall this dangerous problem and they are doing nothing. we please ask that you to take action with bmw on this ongoing matter. *tr

 I own a 2009 bmw k1300gt motorcycle. the motorcycle engine will stall when the clutch disengages power from the engine. this is a known problem to the manufacturer and well-documented by bmw motorcycle dealer service shops. however, the manufacturer has yet to implement a permanent fix. this is a serious safety concern, as unexpected loss of power can lead to loss of control of the vehicle. *tr
