Recently purchased a used 2013 tr650 terra. Using it as transportation to and from work. Rode without issue for two weeks. One night on the way home it stalled while exiting I-5 onto hwy 22 in salem. Restarted and went home. The following evening happened again on hwy 22 but was able to limp it home. The next several days I rode to work on backroads to be safer. The problem has gotten worse with several stalls daily. On wednesday night february 24 it stalled and could not keep it running after. Had to be towed home. This is how I get to and from work. There is a lot of history with this issue. The current or former owners of husqvarna should in good faith resolve this issue. I have owned more than 50 motorcycles in my life that I maintain myself and fave never been stranded on the side of the road.

Bought this bike in jan 2013, bike ran fine for about 10 months. Then slowly developed a dead spot in the throttle and the engine would miss. Then the stalling issue became apparent. When starting off in first gear you give it throttle and try to let the clutch out it stalls dead. It has happened to me multiple times in an intersection and has almost killed me. Every bike sold should be refunded completely. I am still making payments on this bike, and because its on a loan, it still requires insurance to be on it. I haven't been able to ride it for almost three years without having to worry about loosing my life, as it was my only mode of transportation I had no choice. So I am paying almost 200 dollars a month for a paperweight. Bmw and ktm have acknowledged the issue and sent me a recall letter in july 2016, it is now feb 2017 and still nothing. I have even called ktm and they have no answer. This isn't the only defect, there was massive amounts of dust in my air box. The air box isn't completely sealed and doesn't let clean air into the engine. This will ruin an engine. Bmw or ktm, step up and take responsibility for this terrible motorcycle.

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 the federal safety agency recall notice 16v‑124 8/16/16 with no resolution to the problem.

My tr650 motorcycle stalls upon twisting the throttle to accelerate from a stop. I have almost been run over several times by cars directly behind me. This problem could easily kill someone that does not quickly pull over (if able) or restart before being struck from behind. It happens regardless of the temperature of the day or if the engine is warm or cold. This problem occurs every time I accelerate and has done so since I bought it new in dec 2012

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 stalls at low RPM expectantly. Unfortunately, it typically happens at intersections. It has almost caused an accident more than a few times.

The engine stutters, or briefly stalls upon acceleration, particularly at low speed as when entering an intersection. Entering an intersection from a full stop, the engine may accelerate for a moment, just enough to get the vehicle into an oncoming lane of traffic, and then abruptly quit. It is a very dangerous situation. The issue has been thoroughly described by many owners of this motorcylce on the website known as "cafe husky". The problem started occurring on my vehicle in 2013, and it continues to the present.

Purchased used in july 2016. Have experienced stuttering at intersections, and at low speeds. Have mostly been able to catch before stalling out, but did get caught in stop and go traffic with a stall. Have since found that there is a recall and want to add my concern for the safety risk of riding this motorcycle.
