    With the TR650 stalling issue now being taken seriously by the Canadian authorities, its only a matter of time until other authorities around the world follow suite, so lets help them.

    Below is a list references you can use to help point your authorities in the right direction to initiate a safety recall and get BMW & KTM to rectify this fault before someone gets seriously injured or worse.

    BMW & KTM now officially on notice, this is a recognised safety issue that must be corrected.

    Heres my reply from DOTARS. Not good but its a start. I'm formulating a reply and the plan is to fire it off sunday night. Linking to the above links, the NHTSA-Complaints.txt and some screen shots. And any advise or comments would be appreciated.
    Im hoping other aussies get onboard with this. It would be FGT or fcuking great timing.

    So I am working with Husqvarna Australia now to see if they can rectify the problems created when I had both mine in for the recall work. The guy I am dealing with SEEMS genuine and willing to right the wrongs. I suspect its only because the issue with the bike (one of them) caused me to go down when the thing cut out in a corner.
