If you think its happening to the RX3 riders often you should hop over to any R1200GS forums or check out this right up on Autoevolution. BMW G650GS and G650GS Sertao Recalled Over Engine Stalling Possibility
http://www.autoevolution.com/news/bm...#ixzz4DioMeOl7 As the complexity of motorcycles goes up to meet EPA standards so do the problems associated with them.

My husband to the RX3 out again coming into our condo.
He said he had gone over the bump, was coasting with the clutch in maybe doing 15 or so mph and the bike cut off. It started right back up for him when he hit the button. I guess the bike just doesn't like to coast with the clutch in? IDK. This makes it the 3rd or 4th time this has happened with 1100 miles now on the bike. |

Another 150 miles of mixed riding this weekend so far and all is good after re-doing the connections under the seat and battery terminals.

Well, I guess I will just hang in there.We did order some accessories we plan on installing; such as lights and stuff. So, I'll just keep monitoring this issue and then I will check ever single damn plug on the bike, before installing anything else and put dielectric grease on everything! LOL

Slip it all the way in.
Just a reminder that while you have your hands on a connector, first pull it apart and look inside both halves. The pins and receptacles are attached to the wires before they are inserted in their receiver. If they didn't get pushed in until the lock tang engages, they can still make contact but not be fully connected.
Examine them closely to see if each electrical part is as far out (in) as the others. |

By then at least it would be narrowed down to a ignition module or fuel injection brain box or sensor(not familiar with rx3 components, more puzzle pieces than average dirt bike). Would be nice to just turn up the idle a bit like a carb.

madsocial, I've experienced similar engine stalling issues. It's always coming to a stop with the clutch in and usually within 10 minutes of firing up the bike. It has happened to me almost daily as I commute with the bike 4 days out of the week. I contacted Gerry today because it's getting somewhat serious. I am due to for a valve check and I do have over 12,000 miles on the bike. Will keep you posted.

The used to be another RX3 web group I followed, I think a guy named Andy (cat herder?) posted that he started having stalling problems and found the ignition switch assembly had some dust inside. Seems the dust fluffered the contactulators and wouldn't let the pixies go to the wires they wanted to dance in.
I seem to recall he used a couple shots of electrical contact cleaner/lube. I think he also covered the holes in the switch body. He never reported another repeat of the stalling up until the web site vanished. |

Mine only does it rarely, usually just after it's been fired. I'll have to check this out! Thanks for the heads-up. I hate it when my pixies can't properly dance!
