the low fuel light came on and less than a mile later it stalled anybody have this issue ? It was on the way home from buying it new.
Sounds abnormal to me, here is a thread about how long the fuel light is on before people are running out of fuel. Based on that thread, and from what my bike does, 25-30 miles seems to be about the norm: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/have-you-ever-run-out-of-fuel-tr650-question.32225/
Lots of people have had an issue with their brand new TR650s stalling. It's probably completely unrelated to the low fuel light. If you dig through old threads here you'll find that running too lean and stalling is a very common issue. First remedy is to start the cold bike without touching the throttle and let it idle for 3 minutes at least. This might help the EFI to 'adapt' to your environment. Second is to get it back to the dealer and have them plug it into the MOSS and do whatever it is that they do to load a newer fuel map or something. Plenty of reading about this subject in old threads. Sorry I don't have the time right now to point you directly at them.
Ride it a few hundred miles. The stalling should decrease, a MOSS checkup couldn't hurt either if your dealer is setup for it. Did you stall when coming to a stop and pulling the clutch? Pretty classic new TR650 behavior... this too shall pass
I sorta missed that... I had assumed when the OP said 'stalled' that meant they were out of fuel, but maybe it just stalled and had plenty of fuel left in the tank? Tracy/OP: any further input? Did you try to restart? Was it out of fuel?
Light came on then it stalled , restarted and drove home didnt take a chance went and filled 2 gallon can and filled the bike up.
If you could ride it home the bike was not out of fuel. The stalling seems unrelated to the low fuel light.
and if a 2 gallon can filled it there was 1.5 or more left in there. I really like the clear subtank on the 449/511 for this reason. Look down and know exactly how much is left.
I don't know how far away your dealer is from your home, but it's pretty bad form to deliver a new bike without a full tank of gas. just sayin...
Translucent tank would really be nice. Or even a clear plastic tube that showed the fuel level (no idea how to do that since the pickup is from the top). Instead of relying on the trip meter.. Good news is that according everyones input - most if not all the 650s are getting between 25 & 30 miles on the trip odometer once the low fuel light comes on before they run out of fuel.
I thought my dealer only half filled mine when I picked it up, but after I rode 50km and stopped for fuel and could only get 2 litres in, I worked out that that was the temperature gauge
