Noticed the same thing with the quickshifter during my break-in. Hit a few false neutrals at higher gears but never when regularly shifting. Seems to have worked itself out after first service but you still gotta be forceful. Have to take it back to the dealer yet again to get the tech pack on because they can’t do it when it’s in demo mode, which seems to be how they all get delivered. Very stupid imo. As you noted the bike handles like a dream. The power GPs are great.
Yes the qs seems to be getting smoother as it breaks in. I did a pull after break in and everything worked like it should. My issues will normally be 2-3 and 4-5 shifts but here lately no issues. And I’m the same with the tech pack still in demo mode and will be going back to the dealer for that soon
I’ve got a Gen 2&3 and love the look of the new headlight 😎🍻
Me too! It is definitely splitting sides with the design
Thank you for the video! I don’t know if I could ever bring myself to buy one , maybe when no one’s buying any of them and there’s a bunch of leftovers, maybe dealers will throw in the bells and whistles package
reminds me of Klim and their airbag vest subscription
I’m not sure if they would to that. The dealer I got mine from said they could sell me the tech pack for 300 something dollars and then after I bought the bike said it’s 700 something. I believe they have to buy the license from ktm it’s not just a standard unlock on the dealers end
I bought a black 1390 last Friday, Tech Pack was unlocked with 1 mile on the bike.
Naturally, crashed it the next day on my first long ride.. riding like a dick. Insurance will most likely total it and I'm considering just buying a SF V4S to replace it. Coming from a Gen2 1290 the 1390 felt a little soft (Performance mode, Track throttle) and even though the chassis and suspension is a huge upgrade from the Gen2, it's still got a tractor feel that I just can't get over. I'd be interested in riding one with the OFT flash once that's available, Shiv has shown that they'll make ~180whp with a flash and the factory mapping has a huge lean spot between 4500 and 6000 RPM where the cam changeover happens. I bet it's a lot better after the flash.
Yes i am excited to get a flash and a pipe on this thing. As far as I can feel with my little knowledge of mapping it feels spot on stock. I do know a flash is required if you want to remove the exhaust flap. I tried on mine and instant limp mode. We have some upcoming SFV4 vs 1390 SDR content coming soon as well!
@@812moto Awesome, subscribed! Can't wait to see it.
It’s kinda crazy bc I haven’t see 1 single orange 1390 in a dealer. All the dealers around me got 1 black one for the year and that’s it.
My dealer had a black one and it sold before it even hit the showroom. So I wasn’t able to see it. All of my bikes have been black I figured I wanted to stand out this time around!
@@812moto I called 2 dealers and they were sold before they arrived at the store. I called a 3rd KTM dealer 3 hours from me and asked the magic question. The guy said I do I have 1 I got in Monday! (This was Wed morning).
I bought it and will go pick it up this coming week.
@@Maoshung awesome congrats on the new bike! You’ll love it I promise!!
@@812moto I sure hope so! A group riding dirt bikes to the woods and trails, etc.
My first street bike was a GSXR 600 likes so many other young guys. Then I moved on to a CBR 1000RR. Got rid of that and ended up with a DRZ400SM. Got rid of that and ended up with a GASGAS 700 supermoto.
Just sold a super Moto and here comes the super duke 😂
@@Maoshung you will find it hard to get the black ones,I think ktm imported only 80 of the 250 available in the states ,Here in Canada for 2024 i was told we get 70 or 80 units and maybe 20 black ones.
I got a black one,lucky enough the guy that had ordered it back in january didnt go through at finance,in Quebec dealers get only 20 bikes and not all ktm dealers can have one either, it depends on the sales you did the year before,we are a small market its why they do it that way.
I have over a 1000 miles now and everything stoped working,demo mode went off so now the bike is basic,friday june 14 dealer will fix and install the race exhaust from Akra. it was BO 2 months.
streetfighter isnt close to 230bhp, closer to 170-80 on dyno with stock exhaust, they lie about the power of that bike. The 1390 i think is heavily limited before its first service? I road a demo today, before its 1st service and my 1290 had more torque and instant delivery. 1290 Not as refined as the 1390 though. The Duke also has alot more torque than the streetfighter, it definitely is faster, in at any rpm, at any time, and 2x more responsive. V4 starts to shine equally, or possibly more than the 1290, after 100mph though. Tell me what you think after your first service is done and if you notice a difference.
It’s not really limited during break in. It is limited in the standard modes like street and sport. Performance mode and track mode really transform the bike. I was also surprised with how much top end power the bike has. It doesn’t really feel like a big twin you do have to rev it out to get peak torque. And I was referring to power at the motor on the Ducati since they rate it about 205 at the motor.
Also, try the bike in performance mode with sport or track throttle response. Street response is lazy and all the standard modes I believe only use street throttle mode. It is a handful in track response and a good middle ground in sport. I always ride in sport throttle
@@812moto i only had 1hr with it, i was in track, wheelie control off, 2 on the traction control, dealer told me after 1st service it wake up since it is limited, but im not sure how true it was, they said i can try it again after its done enough miles for its first service, but honestly i thought my 1290 was more responsive, and probably more torque sooner on to, dont know if its how KTM has tuned the bike or if what dealer said was true, but im sure my 1290 was more responsive and ready to go. However as i was shifting through the gears i could notice to power in that 1390 and that new camshift technology, i could hold a stable wheelie much easier on the 1390, wasnt up and down and a bit unpredictable like my 1290, quickshifter was butter and faster to, suspension was noticeably better and still comfy. more feel from the front tire to, very easy to ride, would be a blast around twisties or the track, i just wasnt completely sold and wasnt sure if id miss my 1290 if i got the 1390 as funny as that sounds.
How many miles did it have on it? Mine definitely woke up a bit after 500 ish miles it takes it a bit to break in
How many times will this Super man say “super”? Lol
Haha I’m gonna be self conscious about it now
