My operations manual says "After starting, ride off immediately." Page 53 under "Danger of Overheating".

Hey guys - does everyone's 650 have the same hesitation problem when starting off after sitting?
Mine does it a few times before I get under way. DB60 is stumbling what you mean.

Has anyone ever heard the cooling fan come on? My GT never seems to run its fan even in stop and go when the weather is very hot. I can get the fan to turn on when using the GS911 OBD tool and it's sound is quite noticeable. The bike has never overheated since I've owned in for four years or so.
Yes. Mine C650GT(2014) has this hesitation problem when starting off after sitting. It almost stalls, sputters, but then it goes with no futher problems. Today I visited the BMW official service and I reported it. They didnt gave me a clear answer...Hey guys - does everyone's 650 have the same hesitation problem when starting off after sitting?

My 2020 C650GT lives in a garage, so it never gets below around 45degF. I don't let it idle to warm up. The driveway is downhill, then I turn 90 deg onto the uphill street. If I try to make that turn slowly, the bike hesitates and wants to low-side. I've learned to give it a bit more throttle in that first uphill turn. Then everything is fine.Yes.

This.
I've tried letting the bike "warm up" and experimented with everything from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. But it's not the engine that needs to come on line, it's the fuel injector, and idle doesn't seem to get it primed to do its thing.
So now I just start the bike once I have gear and helmet on, and just go, remembering that I need to give it more throttle for the first minute of riding, especially when accelerating from a stop.
