What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Bike repeatedly stalls at low rpm. Extremely dangerous in traffic and when cornering.
On april 27, 2014 after 1,534 miles with no issues my bmw c600 sport maxi-scooter 2013 began to stall. Specifically, just after 1,500 miles I stalled several times during low-throttle or idle situations such as stoplights and slow-speed maneuvers, and I even stalled twice during slow-speed turns.
I bought this scooter in november 2012 & had quite a few stalling problems with it. After a few calls to bmw & my local dealer they were able to remedy the problem with a computer update. Yesterday the problem started again & has done it 2 days in a row. I've called the dealer & bmw & informed them of the problem.
It stalled 2 times before the 600 miles check up not thinking much about it I didn't document those days but did call the dealer & let them know about it. I actually thought it might be a moisture problem in the start/kill switch.
