2014 G650GS Recall

christopher1013 · Jan 14, 2017

just got my G650gs back from a second Engine Control Unit recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V689000). Now the bike runs like crap. Very rough and uncomfortable. Was smooth and enjoyable before now I don't like taking it out of the garage.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Let me know because the current situation is not what I bought.
Thank,

Don't have one. Don't know. But take it back to the dealer and DEMAND they make it run right. Take notes. Take videos.

I took a peek, my guess is that the "re-flash" was corrupted. I wasn't there when it was done but have seen ECU's made worse when they received the "latest and greatest" software updates.
Have them do it again. Have them watch the re-flash program Version numbers.

Identical experience with my wife's 2016 G650GS after the ECU software update. I reset the adaptation values with a GS-911 and that smoothed things out. However, the bike continued to occasionally stall. Another trip to the dealer for a re-flash. No vibes this time but she had another stall after approximately 200 miles. It's 90 miles to the shop. My wife is not a happy camper. She had a 2007 model for eight years that was perfect.
