So just to clarify, you get in the bike which is in neutral and idling, you upright the bike off the side stand, you flip up / back the side stand, and the bike somehow lurches forward?
No can’t say this has ever happened to me. For the bike to lurch forward and stall it has to somehow be in gear so yes your left foot must somehow be bumping the gear lever as the foot is holding the side stand up and back. I can’t see any other explanation. That said I can’t see how the foot would reach inside that arc to bump the gear lever.
Exactly!
I adjusted the shifter upwards about 1/2inch tonight to see if it makes a difference and I'll experiment the next time I take her out. I'm even going to put it on the centerstand first to give me that extra security when it lurches........
If this somehow turns out to be an electrical gremlin I will really not be impressed with BMW
