What 2014 Husqvarna TR650 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
"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 the federal safety agency and leave a message. This is what I am attempting to do.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 husqvarna tr650. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was driven home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
Engine stalls.it happened once in the middle of an intersection in traffic.not good on a motorcycle.it has stalled from day one since I bought it.
Stalling @ low speeds
Random low speed stalling, approaching intersections, rounding corners and low speed and in parking lots.
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 bought this bike 2 weeks ago I'm noticing it has a bad stutter at lower rpms and a tendency to randomly stall.
The motorcycle will randomly stall while in motion shortly after take-off (particularly during very slight throttle openings such as making a left or right turn from a stop) or during deceleration after pulling the clutch. I've experienced numerous instances where the bike stalled while pulling into or across traffic and one instance resulting in the bike falling during a u-turn due to the sudden loss of power during a stall which combined with the tight angle of the turn made for an unpreventable fall. I have sustained no injuries from these events, but a few were very close calls. I have learned though personal research into seeking a fix to this issue that this is an almost universal problem with this model of motorcycle, so serious injury or death to someone is likely inevitable without a fix to this issue.
