There is a recall (you should have been notified by BMW if the records are correct) that addresses stalling on the F800GS and F650GS TWINS (2-cylinder) bikes.

The problem is caused by water entering the drain tube from the carbon canister emissions control system during heavy rain or a water-crossing situation.

The fix is easy, inexpensive, and only takes a few mintues.

Hello,
I wrote in last year about a stalling problem with my G650GS. They figured out that it was a defective catalytic converter and replaced it. After the replacement the bike ran great;… for about 10 months. It’s right back to the way it was before the repair. Do the ’09 G650GSs have a problem with over heating, to the point that it could repeatedly melt the cat?

Hi,
Im experiencing the same issues.
While riding the engine just stalls for no reason, this is really dangerous and keeps me nervous especially if my wife rides with, stalling at the wrong time can cost our lives.
The bike has been in to BMW numerous times and they mentioned nothing of the sort.

Chris.

Hello Ted, thanks for your question. Unfortunately that specific model is not included in the recall, but we suggest that you get it to your dealer ASAP and make sure you document the problem. If the problem continues, motorcycles are covered by the lemon law in Texas, but it requires 4 repair attempts for the same problem, or 30 days out of service under warranty. Write us back and we can refer to you to a lemon law attorney in Texas who’ll take good care of you.
