2014 Husqvarna TR650 Problems

I WAS RIDING MY BIKE ON HIGHWAY AN ENGINE STALLED I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED MY 2014 HUSQVARNA STRADA 650 FROM THE DEALER BRAN NEW WITH 0 MILES. I WAS ABLE TO PERFORM THE 1ST SERVICE AT THE DEALER, NO PROBLEM. TO KEEP THE WARRANTY, I NEEDED TO HAVE A 65-7500MILE SERVICE WHICH I TOOK TO THREE DEALERS AND NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PERFORM THE SERVICE REQUIRED AND THERE IS ZERO SUPPORT FROM HUSQVARNA TO THE DEALER OR MYSELF ABOUT WHAT TO DO. I HAVE NO WAY OF CONTACTING HUSQVARNA ABOUT THIS. THE ONLY ADDRESS IS IN SWEDEN. I HAVE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS AS THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WORK ON THIS BIKE. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED AS WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS THREE YEAR OLD BIKE WITH 8000 MILES THAT NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON. I PURCHASED IT WITH A WARRANTY AND NOW THERE IS NO SUPPORT. THE LETTER I RECEIVED STATES THAT IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER TO CONTACT NHTSA AND LEAVE A MESSAGE. THIS IS WHAT I AM ATTEMPTING TO DO. *TR

THE MOTORCYCLE STALLS OFF IDLE REPETITIVELY. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY CUTS OUT AND SHUTS OFF UNLESS YOU HOLD THE THROTTLE AT A HIGH RPM. THE ENGINE IDLES FINE NORMALLY, IT JUST SUDDENLY CUTS OUT. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS WHILE GOING ONTO A FREEWAY ON RAMP IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES AND I WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED BY A CAR. THE ON RAMP WAS A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC CONTROLLED RAMP. IT ALSO DOES IT WHILE MANEUVERING AROUND PARKING LOTS, ETC.

ENGINE WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE OR SHIFTING TO UP OR DOWN. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO FALL THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE FIRST WEEK I TOOK DELIVERY WHILE DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY THE BIKE FELL AND LANDED ON A ROCK. SECOND TIME WHILE LEAVING ON A TRIP FROM MY DRIVEWAY, IT STALL ON TAKE OFF AND FELL IN THE ROAD. NEITHER TIME DID I GET HURT BUT I COULD HAVE FALLING IN THE STREET. THE THIRD I WAS TURNING INTO A SIDE STREET THE BIKE STALLED WHEN I DOWN SHIFTED, THE DIKE FELL AND I WENT OVER THE HANDLE BARS AND LANDED ON MY SHOULDER ON THE PAVEMENT AND HURT MY SHOULDER AND ELBOW. IT HAS ALSO STALLED OTHER TIMES WITHOUT FALLING. THE FALLS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE THE BIKE WAS MOVING SLOWLY.

I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE NEW, WITH 2 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS >4000 MILES. STARTED STALLING AT ABOUT 1500 MILES. --WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATION IS UNRELIABLE, CAUSING A STALL MIDWAY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN FIRST GEAR, CONSISTENTLY. --THE BIKE ALSO STALLS WHILE RIDING, WHEN I PULL IN THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT (FIRST TIME WAS AT 40 MPH) THE BIKE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF GEAR, SPEED, ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - I MAY STALL AND CRASH IN AN INTERSECTION OR LOSE FORCE WHILE TURNING AND CRASH IF THE BIKE STOPS RUNNING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN I STOP THE BIKE AND USE TH KILL SWITCH TO TURN IT OFF, IT DOES NOT RESTART WITHOUT TURNIGN THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN (ELECTRONIC RESET?) AND THE "EWS" LIGHT COMES ON. NO SHOP INCLUDING BMW IS ABLE TO READ THE FAULT CODES, LET ALONE FIX THE ECU PROBLEM. THE ECU I KNOW HAS NEVER BEEN UPDATED SINCE DEC 2013 (PER THE SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT IT). I HAVE TRIED AFTERMARKET FIXES (BOOSTER PLUG AND POWER COMMANDER) AND THE BIKE REVERTED BACK TO STALLING. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED ALL AFTERMARKET ENGINE "FIXES" AND PAID FOR A COMPLETE TUNE-UP TIP TO TAIL, AND THE BIKE HAS STILL REVERTED TO STALLING. IT IS A PERSISTENT BUT UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM AND THE ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE UPGRADED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

MOST SERIOUS ISSUES ARE THAT THE ENGINE HESITATES ON ACCELERATION AND STALLS WHILE MOVING IF I ATTEMPT TO DOWNSHIFT IN ORDER TO DECELERATE IN A CONTROLLED MANNER. THE HESITATION BEGAN AROUND THE TIME MY ODOMETER REACHED 2000 MILES; THE STALLING BEGAN AFTER THE ODOMETER REACHED APPROX 3500. REGARDLESS MY SPEED, FAST OR SLOW, THE BIKE STALLED AFTER I PULLED THE CLUTCH IN AND DOWNSHIFTED, ALSO REGARDLESS HOW QUICKLY I RELEASED THE CLUTCH OR ROLLED ON THE THROTTLE. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME > 20 TIMES (NO EXAGGERATION) IN 300 MILES OF RIDING THROUGH TOWNS AND ON HIGHWAYS, WHENEVER I WAS SLOWING DOWN. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE RIDING SLOWLY OFF ROAD IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR, THE BIKE WILL HESITATE OR STALL UNLESS I HAVE THE RPMS TO >3500. HAZARD TRIANGLE AND EWS LIGHTS THEN COME ON AND I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I TURN THE KEY TO OFF THEN BACK TO ON, THE BIKE WILL RESTART. IT WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL I DO THAT. BOTH THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED ON AND OFF ROAD, WHILE RIDING STRAIGHT OR TURNING, WITH THE BIKE LOADED (PANNIERS ETC) AND UNLOADED, MOVING DOWNHILL OR UPHILL (STALLING WHILE DOWNSHIFTING HAS OCCURRED WHILE MOVING DOWNHILL OR LEVEL). TWO DAYS AGO THE BIKE WOULD NOT START AT ALL AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 1 HOUR AFTER RIDING LOCALLY (<5 MILES CITY). THE ENGINE TURNED OVER REPEATEDLY BUT WOULD NOT START; THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. SO FAR, THANKFULLY, I HAVE NOT BEEN HIT IN AN INTERSECTION WHILE FUMBLING TO KEEP BALANCE WHEN MY ACCELERATION HESITATES OR STALLS, NOR HAVE I BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN I SUDDENLY DECELERATE AS THE BIKE STALLS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD.
