I have the same problems.

Hi, it is the switch from the clutch. Check the sensor position under your clutch handle!

Any news about this issue? I have the same problem. I own a Norden with 6000km. This happens 2-3 times per 1000 km. Only when pulling clutch and downshifting with idle throttle. Checked everything at dealer.. no problems found.

Hi @nickkont, I went back and forward with the dealership, they couldn’t find an issue. They hooked it up to Husqvana and still nothing. I rode it again nervously and it happened again. So I sent it back to the dealer, again nothing. There is no memory in the ECU apparently so you cannot back track and see what happened. I contacted Husqvana repeatedly. In the end I refused to take he bike back, and negotiated with the dealer to buy the next bike into the showroom at a good deal, and now have a brand new 2023 model. So far no issues but I have only done 1k miles. I contacted Husqvana directly and said I could not continue riding the original bike as I feared for my safety. They said as I was no longer the legal owner of the bike it was not my responsibility anymore. They said that was it, case closed! Frankly I was amazed at the dismissive attitude and corporate shoulder shrugging! Good luck with your bike, ride safe.

Many thanks for the reply. I discussed this with an authorized service and thank god there is another bike with the same issue (890) and he has already opened a ticket. He told me to contact him again end of next week if there is a reply from KTM/Husqvarna . He believes it’s an ecu issue because these bikes run lean because of all these regulations.. He also suggested a temporal fix until we have an answer.. to add a lambda sensor eliminator which costs 40-50 euros and bike will run much richer. I let know if there is any progress.

Yes please also let us know the part nember for that lambda sensor. Might come in handy. Many thanks

that’s the company my mechanic suggested.

SmartMoto Electronics

Exhaust Servo Eliminator, o2 sensor eliminator, PAIR/SAS eliminator kit, side stand switch eliminator, Suzuki Smart TRE and more!

smartmoto-electronics.com

It’s on the lambda eliminator (O2 sensor eliminator ) section. Couldn’t find specific for Norden (just for ktm790) and callled them. They said they are preparing soon a Norden version and gave my contact details. I will let you know if any progress done.

 

[shugacane]

Great stuff thanks.

 

[spinyard]

Interesting, I wonder if this may be the solution to the PC6 check engine light on with the O2 sensors unplugged I sent them an email just to see what they say

Can you elaborate on this please?

 

[nickkont]

I skipped the smart moto o2 eliminator and bought rapid bike easy. I asked the mechanic if this will do the job and told me yes.
I haven’t installed it yet but I will keep you updated. I will do it next week.
Mechanic also told me that this happens only when I pull the clutch because there is a sensor, nothing to do with downshifting . Can’t keep rpms and it’s because of the lambda sensor. That’s why he suggested o2 eliminator or rapid bike easy module.
I’ll tell him about the sensor in the clutch but need more info KTM Peter
We have also opened 2 tickets with Ktm (another bike too) and waiting for their response.

Update: today I found some time and installed rapid bike easy module.
It was quite easy, especially if you watch Rottweiler’s video “remove fuel tank Norden 901”.
First impression was that the bike works better at low rpm’s. More vivid throttle reaction at low rpm’s. When pulling the clutch , seems to work better. I will start doing 80-100km per day and I will report at 1000 if problem solved.

@nickkont Do you have some more info and pictures about the installation? How is your experience with the RBE so far?

I followed that video

It is looking complicated but in reallity is easy and straightforward. I am not a mechanic or had prior experience with motorbikes. Just follow this steps to remove the tank.
After that you can’t go wrong with the connectors. They can only fit in specific one’s .

See attached the recommended settings sent by them.

if you want to make the air fuel ratio richer just set the second dialer to +3 , if you want the default state of the bike +0.

Recommended setting is second dialer to +2 richer.

Bike works much better at low’s and in general in closed loop area/state. You can feel the difference and I believe is a good investment anyway.
With RBE it happened (stalled once) at 500km and changed the setting to +3 so I have another 500 km now without any problem.

I will update the post when I will talk with the mechanic (he opened a ticket with Ktm months ago)

 

[nickkont]

Update. Stalls at low revs when pulling clutch didn’t disappear with rapid bike easy.
I contacted another authorized service and asked me to bring the bike to check everything .. (valves, sparks, fuel pump, fuel tank, clutch sensors etc)
This is going to take up to 1 month..
Other guys from ktm forums , the majority said that it might be a faulty clutch switch.
I am going to change that first and adjust the lever as it seems to be very friddle.
If this doesn’t fix the problem I will follow service directions and miss my bike for a quite long period.
in any case I won’t leave it as it is. Still in guarantee and not accepting the issue.

Hello, as stupid as it sounds, sometiemes de SIDE STAND gets down a little bit on a bump and cuts the engine OFF. You don't even notice because when you look down it has already gone back up.

It hapened to me many times offroad. Now I have a strap to hold it up while riding to avoid this (similar to enduro bikes).

I hope this helps. Best regards

I got rid of the side stand switch for partially that reason, but also just to not have one more potential fail point on the trail. I went with the Vanasche side stand dongle:
PNP Side Stand Bypass Dongle - 390/401/790/890/901
Works great. Would recommend.

I had this shutdown problem, when shifting especially at low rev, 2nd to 3rd normally. The dealer tried another ECU from another bike they had in stock and the problem gone.

Hey Bauer, it is going in to the dealership for a full strip down and inspection next week. Fuel pump, throttle bodies, software updates, water in the fuel, clutch switch etc. the usual sort of things they look at, but no specific fault or issue relating has been found or seen before by them. 5 days in still no response from Husqvana.

One of the issues I found was the headlight would burn out it burn the fuse it was shorten out and someone said they had to replace the cluster which I believe has a kill switch on it I'm not sure but I loosened and move the cluster on the handlebars and then retighten and kept moving it to where it got a good ground and I never had the issue again maybe you might want to check that?
