It's very strange after so many years riding sportsbikes to go to a naked, but I like it. I've only done 100 miles on it admittedly but it's very agile and I enjoy the low down torque. I need to get it out a proper run, there is a few wee issues already though, the throttle is jerky as f

Is there a remap fix for the jerkiness? ![](/inc/images/censored.gif)

Thats a good shout - appreciate the feedback and good knowledge there
I wanted the zeeltronic setup and qs but it was another grand for everything inc install and dyno setup and with my racing absorbing a lot of my funds I had to put on the back burner
If you don't need to, I can't really recommend changing the ecu for something like the Zeel........As you say, big $$ for negligible improvements...I wanted the zeeltronic setup and qs but it was another grand for everything inc install and dyno setup and with my racing absorbing a lot of my funds I had to put on the back burner

I have to admit, the novelty had worn right off with it being limited but now I can hit 10 rpm it's a different wee bike. It's brilliant. Although, the q/s isn't working, I think it's just the lever position. But for £400 odd quid for an oil change and the activation by KTM I'd expect them to have f

All the best with whatever you do buy:
