New ST Limited Stalling

[Benggolf]

Took delivery of our 2013 STS yesterday and on the way home (50+ kms from dealership), the engine stumbled a couple of times as I was slowing down.

It didn't stall as I was able to blip the throttle a bit in time to prevent it from stalling out. Hope this will correct itself as the bike learns as we go along. Other than that the bike worked perfectly. :clap:

Even during the rush hour traffic, the engine temp never overheated (max indication was 3/5 mark) and no excessive heat on the sides of the bike.

Also the dealer was able to complete the recall just prior to delivery. Had to wait for it for a couple more hours, but it was certainly worth the wait to insure no "meltdowns". :thumbup:

2013 rt limited stalling

Mine has stalled from day one and it now has 11,000 miles. It stalls on days when i have ridden a few miles and the temp. gauge is over half way. It finally did it with the dealer when i took it in for a oil change. They didn't have a clue. I have learned when at stop lights to just keep the rpm's up to 1400 and it will not stall. I believe it is a problem with the fuel mixture at higher temp. and the computer is giving the wrong signal

It seems that some of the 2013 ST and RT have had stalling problems that could be associated with a break in period. But for some the problems is much larger than break in. Mine for one had a bad purge valve and it wouldn't idle properly and would stall.

New 2013 RT LTD stalled 3 times during first 500 miles and hasn't stalled again in the following 1500 miles.....getting better all the time (except gas mileage)........

:agree: on the gas mileage too 25 is the best I get and most of the roads around here are 45mph or better.:dontknow:

Here's one more data point.

2013 RT SE5 which just turned over 300 miles this morning. I use premium fuel exclusively and always fill up at our local Costco.

The bike has stalled 5 times now. 4 times when starting out cold and still in first gear. Today it stalled in Reverse with a fully warm engine.

I've had several motorcycles with fuel injection and none of them ever stalled.

Regards,

Dan

Mine has never stalled....I put 700 miles on it the 1st 2 days and had my 600 mile service then road it home 750 miles...now have 3500 and it has never stalled...is it SE or MS

notice in early May with 3500 miles I was not having problems.....and then I took off by myself to go to Owners Event then north to Pete powersports wrap and home about 3700 miles.....this is when all the problems started...but to keep with original post...my bike has never stalled until 10,000 miles....it's not that it stalls but rather after riding a couple hundred miles the rpms will race from 1000 to 2000...it feels like it's going to stall or surge forward....took a video of the dash and plan to send it to BRP

I have 10500 on my STS, I stalled more often when the bike was newer in the 4000 mile range and more often when I would start and go on my way without a warm up.

I started to let the engine and temp get up some before I go now and have not had a stall in a long time. It is hard to nail down the cause.

I did notice when very low on fuel idle rpms would dip below 1200 at times and feel like it wants to stall, fill up on gas and the rpms returns to 1300-1400 and all seems well.

My New 2013 LTD stalls at least once a day but it was stalling at least twice a day before so I guess it's getting better It's just the new wearing off is what I'm told, they say it gets better with age just like me !

I live at 1100 feet above sea level. I noticed mine stalling only ocasionally when it was warming up. Nothing i couldnt live with. I carried mine to panama city beach and it died a lot when ideling around. Probably somewhere around 10 times a day. I am back home now and I just rode it all day yesterday (around 300 miles) and it never stalled. Kinda sounds like its not making the correct air/fuel adjustments.

Our 2012 rt limited se5 was stalling at stop lights and signs because somehow the front spark plug came lose, so I purchashed a set of plugs and plug wires from BahaRon and the problem cleared right up. Ron was very very helpful with our problem.

Got my spyder a few months ago and I had the same issue which the dealer never found any reason. In fact, it stalled on the way home from the dealer I finally noticed that it happens as I slow down while approaching a stop light. I noticed if I don't keep my foot on the break, but, instead lightly tap the breaks as I approach the light, it does not stall. Thankfully, I learned this trick from this site.

 

[Bob Denman]

The 998 bikes have shown this trait... :shocked:
After a couple of hundred miles or so; they seem to "clear their throats", and stop doing it. :thumbup:

ST Stalls

I got my st-s in Michighan "never stalled" but after coming to Fla. Stalls all the time! after getting in stop and go traffic. It has about 6000 miles on it. I have been to 2 dealers,> got no answers.As I have read in this thread .> I keep throttle up to keep from stalling, hoping if changing to a differnt spark plug will help? I always run best fuel and never let it get low. So if anyone has switched plugs? let me know > what kind? and if you also did the cables?

I also have an 2011 RT and has never stalled


thank you

I have had my ST Limited for 11 days and it has stalled 3 times while sitting in 1st gear. :yikes: It has started back up with no issue, but I am just wondering if anyone else has had an issue and if I should be concerned. Unfortunately my dealer can't get me in for three weeks, :banghead: so the first service is being done by another shop so we can go to Cody for the May long weekend. Any information, advise etc. is much appreciated. :cheers: Thanks Lori

 

[CUSTOM STS]

I have an STS and it stalled several times until I put a custom muffler on it. The engines were built tight and with the cat and stock muffler on, its just too much pressure held at low rpm causing the engine to shut off. Havent shut off since.

Sorry not true these engines(998) are some of the loosest on the market from the factory. They do go through a break in period during the first 500 mi. that may result in it stalling a few times. No one has been able to truly determine why but it happens. Mine did several times and after that it has never done it again. Mine is a SE5 not sure if that has something to do with it either. As I said it has been random.

 

[Brightness]

I'm guessing you have an SE5?

It's pretty normal for odd hesitations, shuddering and lurching at very low speeds during the first 2-3k miles. The transmissions take a while to smooth out and some never do.

Again, I wish it weren't so... but it is normal and common for these machines. Doesn't hurt anything unless it's extreme.

I have a 2013 ST. It will stall when hot if the revs get too low. If I keep it running at above 1300 RPM it seems to be OK.

 

[sarecco]

I have a 2014 sts I bought used with 650 miles. It now has 750 Mikes and has stalled 5 times. 30 seconds after stopping sometimes it stalls bit will start back up. Quite dangerous!! Hope it works itself out.
