NHTSA complaint: 2013 HUSQVARNA TR650 — FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS MOTORCYCLE STALLS OFTEN AND WITH NO WARNING. ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE STALLED AT LEAST 20 TIMES. THE LAST STALL WAS ON A DOWNHILL COMING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY. AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY I SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING ME TO FALL. I HURT MY NECK AND BADLY BURNED MY LEG. I WILL NOT RIDE THIS BIKE UNTIL HUSQVARNA/BMW FIX THIS STALLING PROBLEM. THIS STALL IS CAUSED BY A POORLY MAPPED ECU (ELECRTRIC CONTROL UNIT). THE LOW SPEED FUEL DELIVERY IS SO LEAN THAT THE ENGINE JUST STOPS UPON SLOWING DOWN. THIS COULD BE DEADLY WHILE NEGOTIATING AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL HUSQVARNA DEALERS BUT THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY HELP.
