Motorcycle will stall without warning at low speeds and take offs. This has happened since I originally bought the motorcycle new. This happens usually once or twice every time the motorcycle is ridden. During take off from a stop light in the city the bike stalled causing the bike to come to a complete stop with no warning causing me to slam forward into the handle bars. My wrist was injured during this event.
2014 Husqvarna TR650 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My motorcycle suffers from lean stumble and off idle engine engine dying when opening the throttle. This results in a stall that has resulted in my dropping the bike because of the stall and could result in injury or worse in the wrong traffic scenario
Upon initially taking off from a dead stop, the engine will die. This consistently happens when the engine is cold and it is extremely dangerous to ride the bike when trying to enter a busy street. It happens 75% of the time until the engine is completely warmed up. Even then, it happens 25% of the time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 husqvarna tr650. The contact stated while driving the motorcycle at approximately 10 MPH, he attempted to advance the throttle and fell off the motorcycle and into the ground. As a result, the engine failed without warning. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was diagnosed that the engine control unit was reprogrammed but the failure continued to occur intermittently. It was unknown where the vehicle was diagnosed. The approximate failure mileage was 100.
When trying to accelerate from a full and complete stop, the bike hesitates or even stalls regardless of how gentle the clutch is released or how much throttle is given. Both canada and australia have issued recall notices on this particular 650cc engine that was used in husqvarnas and bmws. This has happened to me approximately 20-30 times over the past 8 months that I have owned the bike. I have been almost rear ended a few times stalling this bike just as I enter an intersection.
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.
Vehicle engine stalls intermittently at low speeds during gear shifts. This has occurred approximately 6 times, with 2 incidents placing me in a dangerous situation (I.e. While negotiating a traffic turn at an intersection). Such engine behavior has been observed by many other owners of this vehicle and is of serious concern due to the safety implications. There is speculation that this behavior is a result of a lean fuel mixture associated with the ecu's open loop map.
