BMW g650gs 2009 motorcycle intermittently stalls when decelerating. happens when vehicle IS in motion on city streets. Will start right up again, but stall as soon as I release the throttle. Authorized BMW dealership could find nothing wrong, but issue persists. I found a related recall dated 12/19/2009 - nhtsa campaign ID: 09v499000 - nhtsa action number pe09051 - but dealership said my vin IS not part of the recall. there IS another recall for 2013 to 2016 BMW g650gs models for stalling issues. the stalling seems to be directly related to an ongoing safety problem with these motorcycles and I would like to have it corrected.
- Engine
Runs fine, then stalls at stop, have to keep rpm's above 2000 to keep running, let it sit for a time, then it's fine, and then it happens again, never knowing when it will happen again.

In order to properly repair the vehicle the first time in the workshop, it is very important that the diagnostic test plans are performed to completion, with all results taken into consideration.
