Hi I got a ‘24 norden two weeks ago and it did it 4 times already it quite annoying!! My only problem is the Husqvarna dealership is 500km away, but there’s a local ktm dealership here I wonder if they can help me with that stalling problem, I got a service warning light on since the first time it did it. It also shown immobilizer once on the first 20 km!

I also had this with my new Norden on the first drive and almost crashed in a traffic circle. I also had repeated error messages from the display (engine control and yellow warning light).
What I noticed is that the electrical system is sensitive to voltage fluctuations.
My suggested solutions (and I haven't had any error messages or an engine going out for 2 years):

• a better battery (the error messages immediately appear on the display if there are voltage fluctuations in the on-board power supply). i installed a powerful lithium-ion battery.
• I only fill up with 98 to 100 octane fuels, so there is no more single-cylinder running at the start and no more error messages.
• if these simple measures do not help, then there is another technical problem.

@nickkont the back wheel didn’t lock, but as I had a car just behind me gaining speed and the bike loses speed he had to brake hard…

I meant if it stalled when you pulled the clutch.
I forgot to mention that I changed the battery to Noco nlp14 as other guy mentioned. I don’t believe this was the issue but you never know.
If you google “stalling engine when pulling clutch at idle “ you are going to see a lot of different bikes and manufactures that have the same problem. It’s not ktm/husky specific.
They share same electronics .. (ecu, sensors etc)

I still believe its a calibration/setup one.

I was changing from Rain to Street mode and I had to close the throttle, but I didn’t had to pull the clutch.
I really think that there is some kind of problem with this bikes, and the manufacturer doesn’t really care about it, I made my decision and although I like the bike I don’t want any Husky/KTM anymore, this bikes aren’t cheap and I bought it to have some fun on my weekends, not the other way 😉

 

[JPT901]

It definitely happened when clutch was pulled in,,,,,, sensor ???

 

[Rockymountain]

KTM often has the following problem: clutch switch sensor !

 

[JPT901]

Well hopefully Local KTM dealer can test it on my Husky

 

[JPT901]

Weird or coincidence I turned off easy shift and it hasn’t happened since. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I’ll wait for first service to be done and I’ll turn it back on.

 

[ogri.bowser]

well the easy shift does cut out the ignition, for momentary time taken to move the gear shift, if you just rest your foot on the gear change and apply a little pressure but not enough to change gear then the engine will cut out or at least feel like it

Yes, it is a known issue. I already replied to OP to have them check the clutch sensor.
Does the cruise control work?

 

[JPT901]

In my case I haven’t tried it yet as I’m still in break in period and dealership strongly recommended to not use cruise control while in break in. Only few kms left till first service.

I can understand that running the engine for a long period of time at the same RPM is not a great way to break in your engine. A couple of minutes just testing the cruise control will not be harmful in my opinion.

The key element is to pinpoint the various factors happening prior to the engine shut down.

1. It is intermittent.

Lots of intermittent problems are computer related.

Maybe an Integrated Circuit (IC) sending the wrong signal to the main computer.

Some IC have got a micro contact issue (welding, etc…) and they are sensitive to humidity, temperature, and vibrations.

1. It happens after a certain number of KMs (how many I don't know ?).

This might be related to the temperature, going back to point one above.

1. It always happens when moving from 5th to 4th gear.

I think that this is a significant key element which might lead to the LOGIC of the computer giving a signal to SHUT DOWN through an IC.

1. The problem happens on tar road as well as on dirt road.

If it happens on tar road it means that vibration is not necessarily a major factor.

1. To summarise the main factors that one could highlight are:

From 5th (fifth) to 4th (fourth) gear.

A few minutes after start (not too sure how many, maybe 30 minutes of less)

Implying that Engine Temperature might be one of the causes.

It has hapenned to me twice in 4000km, both times when leaving the Highway. The only common factor is cold weather. The first time, 10 minutes after starting the engine, and second (today) after more than one hour of riding. For sure it is not about the side stand sensor, because it would give so much problems off-road, and I think is not related with some unwanted pressure in the shifting leaver, because I was riding with sport shoes, not boots... I don't have heated grips but always use cruise control in the highway. Hope someone have information from Husqvarna.

Has anyone tried adjusting the throttle osition sensor? TPS was a problem on my 501 a tiny change made a big difference, my Norden has not experienced stalling or flameouts

 

[Zubb]

I have to ask. . . .
Were you riding in ADVENTURE mode? and if so, what was your slip assist set to?

I just finished 7 days of very technical off road riding in Baja, typically riding on slip control #3. No problems at all riding at very low rpm's, slipping the clutch in first and second gear through "trials" type technical stuff. On the steepest climbs through baby head fields, ruts and cactus I bumped the slip up to 5 and 6, upon which the bike stalled 3 times in a half hour. I dropped the slip back to 3, and had no further problems. I first thought I was losing my touch with the clutch, but later suspected the bike would/could stall at low rpm's if in a higher slip control number.

This is not scientific, but I'm logging it in the "things to be aware of" category, especially if in a No Fall zone.

 

[nuruddinsala]

Hi I don'have sleep control, but it happened to me when pressing the clutch for lowering the gear, no stress applied to the engine.

 

[Higgles]

Weird or coincidence I turned off easy shift and it hasn’t happened since. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I’ll wait for first service to be done and I’ll turn it back on.

In my case, I turned off the quick shifter & it fixed the problem. It's possible my foot lightly touched the shifter, but I don't think it did.

 

[nuruddinsala]

Hi, some information is running in Spain about this issue. It seems that it is something related with the” clausor” (were you put the key). There is quite a few number of units affected.
I’ll have mine changed under warranty, after checking the side stand, clutch leaver,… and hope that the problem will be fixed. It appeared in a Spanish YouTube blog as well.

 

[Higgles]

Well, I had some similar symptoms on my bike (2024 901). After the KTM fiasco & my local shop folding up, I realized I'm kinda on my own in terms of support. I turned off the quick shift functionality & haven't had a problem since. I've been riding for years & never really used the quick shift as intended as my muscle memory always just shifts by using the clutch, throttle & shifter... The electronics on the bike are garbage (the bluetooth, quick shift, traction control...!!!). Well thanks for listening to my old man rant. Love the bike & ride it like I stole it, but I'm used to more of an analog experience.
