I’d be surprised if the Akra map caused the shifter blipper problem?
I'm not - fitting the COOBER made a huge difference to the quickshifter. Remove COOBER - quickshifter not as good - refit COOBER - better. Well better for me anyway. It's all about ignition mapping.I’d be surprised if the Akra map caused the shifter blipper problem?
No; I didn't think to ask, and the dealer didn't suggest it. They went straight to the phone with KTM and got an ignition timing/map answer.Did you get the dealer to re-calibrate the quick shifter?
Anyone would think you work for coober lol.I'm not - fitting the COOBER made a huge difference to the quickshifter. Remove COOBER - quickshifter not as good - refit COOBER - better. Well better for me anyway. It's all about ignition mapping.
I wish. I just want to get in a couple more R&D rides so I can hit them with my attack questions. Some things it really does do well - others seem to be less obviously better, actually almost worst.Anyone would think you work for coober lol.
It’s cold in the uk at the moment but not bad enough to stop getting out, am I right in thinking you’re based in Spain, Madrid?I wish.

tbh - In track mode I think the better solution is to switch QS mode off and use the clutch lever. Even with COOBER. This may also apply to the AKRA tune.
Seems a bit lumpier in traffic etc with the COOBER in Sport Mode when the ambient temp is lowish. Needs a little more revving. Some odd thoughts I need to observe again before writing. But the ruddy weather is really starting to annoy me.
Just west of Madrid . Had snow yesterday. And today it's been peeing down. We're at almost 800m up so it gets chilly. I'm older and I don't like it. My riding day is usually Thursday.It’s cold in the uk at the moment but not bad enough to stop getting out, am I right in thinking you’re based in Spain, Madrid?
Two words: El Sur.. :grin:I'm older and I don't like ii.
I had the exact same problem after the Akra map was installed on my bike and despite the dealer trying multiple times to fix it including installing new sensors from a demo bike on the floor, i lost functionality of the quickshifter, even after the stock map was loaded back on. Result was a brand new motorcycle, because they wanted to pull the engine and split the casings to see if the internal QS sensor had failed.I had my KTM dealer install the Akrapovic Evolution full exhaust system on my 2020 790 Duke at the same time I had it in for its (first) 600-mile service. The dealer loaded the Akra engine map too. I left from the shop and immediately observed the quick upshifter wasn't working 'right.' While on throttle, the ignition is so delayed after upshift the front end dives and gives an abrupt lurch when power returns. Quick downshift stopped working altogether; soft downward pressure on the shifter does nothing. Should be noted it worked marvelously before this shop visit.
I returned to the shop right then. They called KTM and reported that the Akra map delays ignition "5-10 milliseconds" over stock map and there's nothing that can be done about it. No comment on losing downshift capabilities.
I'm beyond disappointed with this explanation and the result from installing an official KTM aftermarket part. The new pipe sounds amazing and it's got great power, but losing the quickshifter isn't an acceptable trade off.
Anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for how to fix this?
Well, that's not really encouraging. How long did it take to convince KTM to replace the whole bike?? What was it that got them to agree to that?I had the exact same problem after the Akra map was installed on my bike and despite the dealer trying multiple times to fix it including installing new sensors from a demo bike on the floor, i lost functionality of the quickshifter, even after the stock map was loaded back on.

Lotsa variables have occurred for many people here with similar, but different issues, many handled differently. Until you know what the situation is, no need to get too excited. :nerd:Well, that's not really encouraging. How long did it take to convince KTM to replace the whole bike??

Key here is understanding HOW the QS works.Although wearing different boots I found that it was all too easy to fool the quick shifter into premature changing up / down .
