Bike shut off after 2 minutes while idling in the garage

Mine has never died on me (so far anyway). I fitted the Fuel X Lite during the first month to smooth out the low end response, and have done a write up on here about it. The Lite version only comes with one map, so no option for fine tuning but I'm happy with it.
 
Thinking about a DNA filter to improve the intake noise. Wonder if the Fuel X Lite will adapt to it automatically or not?

The blurb would suggest it will autotune to the filter: 1761076358408.jpg

In France, modifications are an issue, it's even written on all my insurance contracts... You can't touch anything ! (or they'll do their best not to pay in the event of a crash)

The 801 only died on me once, the 401 would do that on a regular basis so i am kinda used to it ! Still not very enjoyable... I am sure the FuelX improves it by far ! These pollution norms are a pain in the...

Some pics of my sunday morning ride, the last i guess while it's not too cold ! Huge pleasure as always, i am speeding the pace now that i know the bike better... Found my sweet spot on "attack mode" sitting very close to the tank... Fuel gage surprised me as it went from 40km left to empty red (0 km).... ! Luckily a gas station wasn't far and i saw there still was some gas left but wasn't sure how many kms it could have last... Any ideas ?

Here's the beauty (and the beast ^^), nice day folks !

Hi. My bike did the same thing. It said I had 40 miles left and it warned me that I was near empty all of a sudden. Like you, I had a station near by to fuel up.

Same here; I mentioned it at the last service at the dealer and they updated the bike with the latest available software, which may or may not fix the fault...
 
If you can afford it, I would recommend the Fuel X lite. I haven't had any engine stalls or cut outs so far and I'm at 7000+kms. My review:

Thread 'FuelX Lite Review'

Hi All,

As promised here is a my short review of the FuelX Lite module. Note: In the UK, you can purchase through Hitchcock's for around £250. See below.

First off, I think the unit is overpriced. I purchased the Fuel X Lite for the 401 Svartpilen about a year ago and it was around £139. I'm sure the technology is almost the same so an extra £100 seems an excessive mark up. If you live in the US, you can pick it up much cheaper, around $240.

The install was about one hour in total. You could do it in 30 mins with some prep. I used @yonsson excellent YouTube video as my reference...

Hi. I am seriously considering it. Thank you for your feedback.

No problem.

After I've installed the coober ECU (after roughly 1200 km) I've had zero problems with it dying on me besides the other day but that was exceptional. So far I've clocked about 4500 km.

I’ve ordered the Coober ECU, but it’s on back order. I hope to have it in 3 weeks. I look forward to seeing if it makes any difference for me. Hopefully, it’ll smooth out the throttle response. I’ve noticed it’s a little jerky at 4,000 RPM on third gear.

What pros did you notice after installing the Coober unit apart from the bike not stalling anymore?

No stalling, less stuttering on low gear and low speeds, makes for a more enjoyable city ride. Perhaps a bit more oomph at the lower register but that could be my buttdyno :)
 
After installing the FuelxPro+ (Coober should give similar results) I can ride 30km/h in second gear with zero issues. I couldn’t do that before the installation. The bike also died on me riding low revs a few times and that problem is also gone. The bike definitely runs smoother than before.
