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.

What owners say
I was riding my bike on highway an engine stalled I almost lost my life.
Motorcycle fuelling issue at low RPM causes stalling at traffic lights.
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.

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.

The bike shudders and stumbles when down shifting and sometimes stalls.
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
