2013 Husqvarna TR650

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE WOULD POP AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD STOP. THIS OCCURRENCE OCCASIONALLY WOULD ALSO HAPPEN WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PULLED IN. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE BIKE, I HAD NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE HAD POPPED AND STOPPED A COUPLE TIMES. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND HAD NO SOLUTION. I HAD PURCHASED A BOOSTERPLUG FROM AN AFTERMARKET SOURCE THAT LESSENED THE ENGINE STALLING, NOT ELIMINATED IT. THE PORPOISE OF THE BOOSTERPLUG WAS TO RICHEN THE LEAN FUEL MIXTURE WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE STALLING. BMW ARE THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM. THEY KNOW THE ENGINE BEST. CURRENTLY THERE IS A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE BMW BRANDED BIKES WITH THE SAME ENGINE, SAME PROBLEM AS THE TERRA. WHEN CAN MY BIKE GET FIXED? THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL NOTICE 16V-124 8/16/16 WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

BIKE STALLS AT CERTAIN RPMS. THIS ISSUE IS PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT/DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP AND ALSO DURING STEADY, MID TO LOW RPM CORNERS. WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP BIKE CAN STALL AND DIE LEAVING ME IN THE WAY OF TRAFFIC WHILE I RESTART. IN CORNERS THE BIKE DOESN'T DIE BUT THE STALL ADVERSELY AFFECTS POWER/STABILITY. I HAVE LEARNED TO RIDE AROUND THIS ISSUE TO SOME EXTENT BUT WITH A NEW RIDER THIS COULD VERY WELL RESULT IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. HOW THIS HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A RECALL OR RESULTING DEATH IS AMAZING.

MOTORCYCLE EXPERIENCES UNEXPECTED STALLING WHILE OPERATING AT LOW RPM'S AND SPEED. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND APPARENTLY RANDOM, OCCURRING WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. TO DATE IT HAS RESULTED IN ONE SLOW SPEED OFF-ROAD CRASH. I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL RESULT IN A MUCH MORE SERIOUS ON-ROAD CRASH.
