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.
2014 Husqvarna TR650 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
This bike is prone to "lean stumble", the bike randomly dies when accelerating away from a stop due to lean tuning to meet epa standards which causes the bike to run very lean in "closed loop" (idle circuit). This has happened numerous times since owning the bike. On this instance I was pulling away from a stop light when the bike died causing the driver behind me to bump my rear tire thus pushing me forward and off of my bike. I suffered a hamstring injury trying to keep the bike upright.
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.
