Guys,

Serious problem....well, for me at least...

When I start the bike, no problem, it idles fine and I'm doing the 15min idle reset for what its worth, as I'm typing this.

Then I pull away and all seems fine, but only if I change gears quick enough... When I change gears VERY slowly, it strikes. If you ride along gently at 60 or so and you pull the clutch, bike should just continue and the revs should drop to idling (+/- 1450rpm), well mine does not. The revs drop down, down to ZERO and then it's as if something just kills the bike...

When I approach a traffic light and decelerate by gearing down, as soon as I pull the clutch, the revs drop and the bike cuts out completely.

What can this be? Does anyone have any flippen idea?

I had the bike at KTM and they tested the clutch switch (working), they adjusted the balancing on the throttle body (all seemed fine). We went for a ride on Sunday, everything was absolutely fine. This morning as soon as I pulled away, problem strikes...

Please help...our soon to start( 15Dec) Namibia trip is on the line here :'( :(
