"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 NHTSA AND LEAVE A MESSAGE. THIS IS WHAT I AM ATTEMPTING TO DO. *TR

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.
I BOUGHT THIS BIKE 2 WEEKS AGO I'M NOTICING IT HAS A BAD STUTTER AT LOWER RPMS AND A TENDENCY TO RANDOMLY STALL.

I PURCHASED THIS MOTORCYCLE NEW, WITH 2 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS >4000 MILES. STARTED STALLING AT ABOUT 1500 MILES. --WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATION IS UNRELIABLE, CAUSING A STALL MIDWAY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN FIRST GEAR, CONSISTENTLY. --THE BIKE ALSO STALLS WHILE RIDING, WHEN I PULL IN THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT (FIRST TIME WAS AT 40 MPH) THE BIKE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY AND HAD TO BE RESTARTED. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF GEAR, SPEED, ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - I MAY STALL AND CRASH IN AN INTERSECTION OR LOSE FORCE WHILE TURNING AND CRASH IF THE BIKE STOPS RUNNING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN I STOP THE BIKE AND USE TH KILL SWITCH TO TURN IT OFF, IT DOES NOT RESTART WITHOUT TURNIGN THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN (ELECTRONIC RESET?) AND THE "EWS" LIGHT COMES ON. NO SHOP INCLUDING BMW IS ABLE TO READ THE FAULT CODES, LET ALONE FIX THE ECU PROBLEM. THE ECU I KNOW HAS NEVER BEEN UPDATED SINCE DEC 2013 (PER THE SHOP WHERE I BOUGHT IT). I HAVE TRIED AFTERMARKET FIXES (BOOSTER PLUG AND POWER COMMANDER) AND THE BIKE REVERTED BACK TO STALLING. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED ALL AFTERMARKET ENGINE "FIXES" AND PAID FOR A COMPLETE TUNE-UP TIP TO TAIL, AND THE BIKE HAS STILL REVERTED TO STALLING. IT IS A PERSISTENT BUT UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM AND THE ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE UPGRADED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE BIKE SINCE NEW HAS BEEN STALLING INTERMITTENTLY WITH OFF IDLE HESITATION THAT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE BIKE WILL FREQUENTLY STALL WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT CAUSING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS WITH CARS FOLLOWING BEHIND SINCE THE MOTOR WILL JUST SPUTTER AND QUIT.
