Fuel level sensor failure. Fuel gauge showed half a tank full, but it was actually empty. The engine stalled. Brakes do not work with engine stalled. The BMW dealer confirmed the malfunction and said it was a common failure. There were not previous instances of this same problem with my motorcycle. No warnings of any kind.

THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED AS I DECELERATE TO A STOP. THE DAY OF THIS REPORT IT STALLED 5 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS HAPPENS AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTIONS BY THE DEALER. THE MOTORCYCLE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE BRAKING AND TRAFFIC FLOW PROBLEMS ARE CREATED BY THIS STALLING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRING FOR THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Owner report 10704746 · 2015-04-09 (April 9, 2015)
UPON STARTING THE MOTORCYCLE THE "NORMAL" CHECKLIST WAS REPLACED WITH "BRAKE FAILURE". DEALER TESTED THE ABS UNIT AND INDEED IT FAILED. USED THIS MOTORCYCLE IN A VERY LIMITED CAPACITY DUE TO LIMITED BRAKING. DEALER STATED THE UNIT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS UNIT. REPLACED THE ABS UNIT THRU DEALER 4/15. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THRU THIS AGENCY AS IT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING/PROGRAMMING PROBLEM THAT THEN BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
