Owners name: Charles
Dealer name : Gateway BMW, St. Louis, Missouri
Odometer reading: 5200 miles
Numbers of random stalls to date (approx) : 20-25 occurring since November 2013
Number of times you been placed in dangerous situation: Three times, the worst of which caused me to stall in an extremely busy city intersection. I was hit from behind by a car that expected me to be moving. I had left the stop light and the bike stalled suddenly and without provocation or driver input. My bike was forced forward by her momentum thus knocking me from the bike placing my person in the oncoming traffic.

Brief comment (optional): This a very serious situation that has been a constant problem since the purchase of this bike. Dealers do not have the MOSS fix to correct this problem. I have filed a complaint with the National Highway and Safety Board. To insure resolution to this problem.

Brief comment (optional) ; Love the bike, and I would like to keep it.... But the random low speed stall issue is a real safety concern. Whether its turning into on coming traffic or being hit from behind the risk is very genuine. Believe Me.
My son has a learners licence and I'm loath and reluctant and not keen to let him ride the TR on the road, because of this stalling issue.

Model ; TR650 Terra
Year ; 2013
Serial number ; ZKH0H12A9DV*******
Owners name ; James
Dealer name : RPM Cycle. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Canada
Odometer reading; 5052 Km
When was did this problem first occur; Within days of taking delivery
Numbers of random stalls to date (approx) ; 50+
Number of times you been placed in dangerous situation; 20+. I am required to ride the clutch on start of an intersection so the bike will not stall.

If the outside ambient temp is above 25 deg C and the bike is fully warmed up the bikes idol is very erratic. Requires throttle input (blips) so the bike wont stall just idling.

To the best of my knowledge there is no "MOSS" tool available in any dealer in all of Canada.

Numbers of random stalls to date (approx) ; 100+
Number of times you been placed in dangerous situation; 25+. Pulling at a stop sign and traffic signals.

When pulling out bike stalls, I nearly get read-ended by cars or motorcycles behind me. Every time I start out I must be super defensive on what I will do if the bike stalls again so I can survive.
This problem should be handled by the manufacturer and dealers as a recall, not by charging the customer to pay to fix their mapping flaws. Mapping and driveability changes are not covered under warranty at dealers - and not every owner has a dealer nearby.
