Engine and Engine Cooling · at 12,000 miles · reported Sep 7, 2011
My motorcycle will start and run for a while but will randomly shut off when the engine gets down to idle.

As I pulled up in the driveway gas was pouring down the side of the bike. My husband took the seat off and lifted the cover to the fuel pump and gas was pouring out of the fuel pump hose. Turns out the clamp on the fuel pump hose had never been crimped and eventually the hose had worked its way loose. I lucked out because I could have gone down in a blaze of glory. Bmw needs to add this to their safety…
