Just wondering for all that are having problems with their bikes off-idle response or sputtering. What type or grade of fuel are you using. My bike has not had the Moss update yet.(still waiting for that 1000km mark) But really runs very crisp not one hesitation. I use Chevron Supreme Plus 94 which claims 0% ethanol.
I use a 98 RON fuel. No issues with acceleration and I find it only wants to stall on take off after a cold start; regardless of how long it let it idle for to warm up. Just need to give it a little extra throttle & slower clutch release. Fine after every subsequent take off.
I read this last night and was going to call the shop....but they called me first this afternoon, after speaking with Husqvarna. He said everything he'd been taught at husky school said "use the VIN"....it all has to tie the bike to the record of work done, etc. Today they told him "go around the VIN" and he called to let me know he's ready when I am.
91 octane at every fill... with the caveat that this is winter mix at altitude. Still, I've ridden a couple dozen bikes under identical conditions without the gas causing any symptoms like this.
I wonder if we need to start a before and after first service / MOSS reset thread. From what I'm reading most bikes have had the stall/ rough idle issue. My bike was acually much smother before the first service. After the first service I noticed a higher idle speed initially. The idle speed is at almost at stall now and you have to slightly twist the throttle to get it to start. Thought it had a minimum throttle interlock to allow it to start ? My friends bike hasn't had the first service yet and he has basically the same issue. Wished I would have left well enough alone. I may call the dealer tomorrow and see what they suggest.
Who have you been working with at GP? I have a deposit down on their demo bike. I stalled it 4 times during the demo ride. I thought it was just me, but it sounds like the bike needs a 'flash'. I'm going to have them do it before taking delivery, but it would help to know who exactly I should have the sales guy talk with. PM it to me if you want. Thanks!!!
I'm not sure who I've talked there, but if you have good luck and get it done, is there any chance you could let me know who you went through there? Thanks
GP had the bike for a week and was not able to get online with the MOSS tool. I took it to Big D a week or two later when I got the chance, and they jumped right on it. They also were not able to get a software hookup, as the tool didn't accept my VIN. They're the ones that called me back after talking to Husqvarna and being told to 'go around the VIN'. They're closed Wed and the tech has Thurs off (open Sun/Mon though) and I'd like to get it done before the weekend ride coming up....so I"m going to try GP again this afternoon. I need to go by there anyway.... they took the cap off the tool connector and left it off, so I need to get it back. The main service guy and Justin are the two I've dealt with at GP.
Success! I brought the bike over to GP this afternoon, they were slow enough to fit me in. Service Manager Roger Meyer fired up the MOSS tool...and got a notice it needed to do two hours of updates I thought that would probably take less time....so I kicked every tire in the joint for a while. It didn't take two hours, they had the bike hooked up pretty quickly. Reset went fairly quickly....it had to sit idling untouched for a bit - then they took it for a test spin and I was ready to go. I'm not sure how different the levels of crap idling / throttle response are that different people experience, but mine could be pretty horrible at times. Now though, it's crisp right off idle and as normal as you'd expect a spanking new fuel injected bike to be. Job well done.
I just got back from Broens Motor works and they Moss flashed my TR650 with 200 miles on it for $53.00, runs great now, BMW DEALERS can do this Mighty happy
What is your general location? Trying very hard to summarize who can do the MOSS thing.. (perhaps fill that in your profile?)
I finished up the paperwork on mine on Thursday, they (Grand Prix) did the MOSS flash for me and delivered it yesterday. Runs great now, no stalls! Now I just need to keep twisting their arm on the tool kit.....
Wow, they charged you $53. Is that because you only had 200 miles on it? I have my first service scheduled for Thursday and I made sure my shop has the MOSS tool and will reflash for no charge. My shop is Cycle Specialties in Modesto Ca.
Cycle specialties in Modesto have the MOSS tool and had no problem with my request to reflash. I will update once it's done for the final outcome.
Well you could still fill in your location in your profile California, Northern California, USA... something. I am especially interested in TR650 owners doing that because I am sure there will be an attempt at a group ride at some point.
I have heard that if you start the engine up and just let it idle for 5 min with out touching the throttle, it will allow the ecu to remap on it's own. There is also a fix that has been used on BMWs for quit sometime. It is called a Booster plug. It is a is a direct plug-in replacement for the temperature sensor in the air box. It lies to the ecu by telling the ecu that the air temperature is colder than it really is and the ecu increases the fuel to air ratio. I know that my Terra is very lean and could use the increase in the fuel mixture. Here is the web site. http://www.boosterplug.com/shop/husqvarna-23c1.html I am going to get one for my bike as I have a friend who has one, it cured a lot of things on his bike. JoeBtx
Thx Joe If you want some more reading... a thread was started back last Nov. on that too. Booster Plug
Hi Guys, I am up for my 1000K service but live in Vancouver Canada... The place I purchased the bike from does not have the moss tool. My bike is cutting out constantly, once even on the highway at about 80km with a truck behind me... Is there anyone else that lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada that has had their bike serviced and "mossed" or does anyone know of a place in bellingham that has the mos tool..?
