How I Use Quick-Shifter In Daily Life | KTM Duke 390 GEN 3

[@palbaruah7505]

I once tried to use the quickshifter for upshift and downshift. Kept the RPMs as recommend while shifting and it was soo clunky I got scared that I will damage the gears so I just turned it off. Will try again now after looking at your video. Thanks

@@palbaruah7505 downshifts need more practice and its nit that great. Upshifts should be smooth.

In your next video, could you start the bike in a quiet place and let it idle for a few minutes without speaking? I’d really like to hear how it sounds. I have the same bike, and I’m concerned because it makes a ticking noise. Initially, I thought it might be a timing chain issue, but with only 7,800 km on the odometer, I find it hard to believe the chain would be loose at such low mileage. I checked on Reddit, and many people say this is a normal sound for a KTM, but the service guys don’t seem to have any insights. Could you clarify this, using your bike as an example? Thank you!

@@kriesh07 sure will make a video on this.

afaik Quick Shifters are only clutchless upshifts, how come you are downshifting without the clutch? Is it something you added to your bike after-market?

I was not aware Gen 3 has QuickShifter+ which allows both up and down shifts. Your pronunciations are on point whereas you miss the flow of story telling, I wish you all the best, work on that and you shall be better in no time.
