Just wondered whether it's me or should i get my dealership to have a look?
When i ride at pace i'm finding she jumps out of gear and when goin from standstill into first it snatches so badly it's making me think about it!!!
If flooring it through the gears it'll sometimes find neutrall and it's a bit hairy at times! Just wondered whether it's KTM querkyness or i should get it looked at?
First thing, have you checked the position of your gear change lever? They tend to be delivered very high.
This may cause poor changes.

If you feel this is not the cause, get it looked at. The gearbox on SDs should be really sweet.
Pete, i assume the lever is set as standard but recently it seems quite tight! When really going for it through the gears i get the occasional miss gear and having to change "twice" Is it me riding it wrong or is it worth a look by the dealership?
