BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi Everyone
Just back from a very short ride and was only out 10mins when engine suddenly lost power, I had no response from the throttle- it’s as though the ignition had been turn off. I coasted into the side of the road from a speed of about 45mph and before I actually stopped , engine burst into life again.
No warning lights of any kind came on while this happened or on the ride home. Bike behaving as if nothing happened.
It’s a 2016 1200RT and about 31k on the clock. Had it since Nov 24 and it’s never missed a beat. I will be checking battery terminals etc for being secure tomorrow. Has this happened to any of you guys ???

First thing to do these days is have it plugged in and read any error codes

Same here... Happened to me 4 times during the last 7000 km or so . I suspect the microswitch in the left handlebar or the side stand switch. Need to have at look at it but can't really be bothered because it only occurs around 1 out 40 times.. only after a long motorway ride when taking the exit and getting of the throttle. strange.. motoscan pro not showing any errors...
