BMW G650GS 2009 MOTORCYCLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WHEN DECELERATING. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS. WILL START RIGHT UP AGAIN, BUT STALL AS SOON AS I RELEASE THE THROTTLE. AUTHORIZED BMW DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT ISSUE PERSISTS. I FOUND A RELATED RECALL DATED 12/19/2009 - NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 09V499000 - NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE09051 - BUT DEALERSHIP SAID MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL FOR 2013 TO 2016 BMW G650GS MODELS FOR STALLING ISSUES. THE STALLING SEEMS TO BE DIRECTLY RELATED TO AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE MOTORCYCLES AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT CORRECTED.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
