ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

 Engine randomly (so random i cannot recreate) stalls 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. this complaint pertains to a 2009 k1300gtg but continued submission under different model because website wouldn't permit continuing unless a known model was selected from the drop down menu. *tr
