#1 | Engine Cut Out datum

Thu Jul 20, 2023 6:06 pm

Strange one this afternoon. First time using the bike in 9 days, started it up, ran for a second then cut out. A bit surprised is that has never happened on any BMW I have owned. Restarted it and it stayed alive but sounded a bit on the edge of cutting out. Once revs up and on the move it was fine. And restarting from warm was OK as well. Any thoughts why this could be? I had washed it thoroughly when I returned from a trip 9 days ago, wonder if water got in somewhere it shouldn't have.

The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. When you said you washed it, I thought..."Hmmm, this is mighty coincidental". Did you run it after washing? When I wash mine, I usually take it for a short 2-3 mile ride to let the engine heat dry out any remaining water.
