Took the bike to the dealer for the 600 first service - told him that the shift indicator wasn't working and hadn't since it was new. I mentioned a few other small things like false neutrals, and the quick shifter was very jerky on the downshifts -
Long story short when I picked the bike up the tech mentioned that he couldn't find the source of the shift indicator failure and that it would take a lot of troubleshooting to find the source - I E new cluster - of course would have to be ordered - or maybe its updated from the KTM via their software update etc - I said well isn't that the main thing you do at this service except to eye ball things and change the oil and filter ( which I did the day before the service ) - he got a bit huffy and said no we don't do that as it might take a full day or even longer so we have to arrange for that in advance ~!!!! WTF I told the service manager and the tech I've owned and bought new 6 KTM's and have had every one of them placed on the KTM update system regularly and it took no time at all - I was floored - any comments ? thanks

PS I love the bike and this doesn't sour me on it I/m chalking it up to a misunderstanding with the service tech who failed to mention any of this to me - I asked him what the **** did he do for four hours and he said well he only worked on it for an hour and 20 minutes - year I was chilling for almost 5 hours ---
