When starting off in first gear you give it throttle and try to let the clutch out it stalls dead. It has happened to me multiple times in an intersection and has almost killed me. Every bike sold should be refunded completely. I AM still making payments on this bike, and because its on a loan, it still requires insurance to be on it. I haven't been able to ride it for almost three years without having to worry…

I had purchased a boosterplug from an aftermarket source that lessened the engine stalling, not eliminated it. The porpoise of the boosterplug was to richen the lean fuel mixture which causes the engine stalling. Bmw are the manufacture of the engine and fuel system. They know the…
