• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

New Strada fuel light ?

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.
 
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.
