You can unlock the quick shifter without buying the entire techpack however unlocking the suspension will allow you to dial in the preload and get rid of that wobble.

@@ExticyOn2WheelsBought my 2023 Superduke 3 weeks ago and they told me you can still unlock single features without buying the Techpack. But Quickshifter+ alone was ~450$. But I‘m in europe, maybe they don‘t offer it in the US.

@@robinfischer9376 i stand corrected. I researched it some time ago but i must have missed something. You can buy Suspension Pro, Quickshifter and MSR separately. Track Pack has Launch Control, MTC, Engine Map selection, Track Mode, "Performance Mode" and Wheelie Control.

Rofl do you hear how you sound. Ktm sucks I ain’t buying the same bike twice
The tech pack does a lot more than you think it does. The ECU is constantly monitoring your inputs and making sure you don't wheelie, so it artificially limits power when you whack the throttle with the wheelie control on. With it (and MTC) off, you are getting direct throttle input which doesn't just make the bike "feel" faster, it LITERALLY IS making more power for your current throttle input because you aren't limiting the amount that your throttle body is open, thereby limiting the amount of air/fuel going in to your engine. You could pin the throttle in first gear with traction and wheelie control on, and the bike won't feel like it has 180 horsepower because you aren't getting that much power. The ECU steps in and says "sorry you don't want to do that right now", and limits you. It is not JUST throttle "response" like a curve that is being modified to be more snappy, without the tech pack you straight up aren't getting all the power to the wheel because otherwise you WOULD wheelie and break traction. The only way to stop that is by lowering the amount of power to the rear wheel by artificially limiting your throttle input. Once you turn it off and experience what that is like, you can actually feel when the safety features normally kick in and you'll say "wow, how did I ever even ride it like this before".

@@voyteq1 The 1-9 you are referring to is the strength of the traction control, with 1 being lowest and 9 highest. Not sure if you meant traction control or motor slip regulation, which is different. MSR affects engine braking, making sure the wheel does not break traction on downshifts from revving too high.

@@jadeviper1290 oh I mean the function - that you adjust with those buttons on the left side of the handlebar marked with + & - that normaly are used to adjust speed of cruise control. In my Manual is said that I can adjust Slip by pressing them when the Track mode is on.
@jadeviper1290

@@voyteq1 Yep, you are adjusting the strength of the traction control when you do that. 1 lets the wheel slip the most, 9 slips the least. Also worth noting that you can adjust it in Performance mode as well, which lets you keep thing like cruise control and KTM MyRide navitgation. Track mode does not allow those functions and it changes the look of the dash, which is personal preference.

I can't wrap my head around, that you buy all these mods for your duke, BEFORE you get the tech pack 🤣 It's such a great bike, once you get that software. Just a quick edit. I ride my trackmode in sport throttle response, as i don't like the track response either. They're basically the same, but a little smoother. I also use the tech pack for supermoto mode, so I can back it in the corners. Either way, the tech pack is a must.

In track mode you can adjust the traction control and the throttle response, street sport or track
I love the super dukes! Such cool looking bikes and they sound awesome!
TC and anti wheelie are 2 different things, you need Track or Tech pack to turn anti wheelie off. TC doesn’t control how bike wheelies only rear wheel spin.
The teck pack is going to completely change the bike…and once you get that, turn everything off….no wheelie control no traction control, full power…and snatch the throttle as fast as you can, unlike how you would ride any of your other bikes. This bike is made to be snatchy and scary and nimble…backroad burner..you don’t need a stabilizer…it’s aggressive. You gotta ride it that way. 1st through 3rd brings the front end up with just the throttle. 4th if you catch it just right when you get to the top of 3rd….without using the clutch. Don’t roll into the throttle, snatch it, and shift up faster to use the low end torque….I’ll say it for the 10th time, use Rottweiler performance for this bike.

I'm sure you probably already know but if you don't. Go Pro makes a remote that can easily clip onto any of your bikes. You wouldn't have to look for a reflection to see if you're recording. It's easily removable and can clip onto any bike you feel like riding that day. The remote would benefit you, being you said you take youtube seriously.
Super duke has a wheelie control that you can’t turn off without the tech pack
Move that clutch lever out so the mount sits next to the left grip. Much more comfortable
I know what you mean when you said “when you have multiple bikes you struggle to remember how to ride each bike” I’ve got 7 bikes and I need a refresher for a couple of K’s before I’m comfortable again 😂
fantastic review, great bikes, please dude, stop looking behind you, i was constantly waiting for the car to pull out, ride safe bro.
We need more Superduke content!
No twisties? Bruh your 10 mins away from Santiago canyon😂 although it might be closed right now due to the mass shooting the other night…

I wouldn't waste my money on stabilizer, i noticed the same thing you did when i bought it ,the bike shook a lot , had he suspension set up for my weight & haven't had issues with i. I do have the tech pack & all ways ride in race mode because its so much fun, the torque is what i love about the bike, top speed is not fun on a naked bike..

Just like people hang on to the bars too tight and cause a wobble, sometimes all the money in the world won't fix an unskilled rider, It would be cool to see these guys hit up a track day and get some lessons, FastlaneD did and it was awesome to see.

It's not just that, you need to hold the bars softly like italyguy says. This bike teaches you WHY you need to do that, one of the things they train you to do when you go to a quality racing school, you should be able to flap your arms like a bird even when you're cornering the bike... loose lets the bike respond to the surface of the road and not only that, holding tight makes the bike do things you didn't intend from inputs that come from instinct and nervous responses.

I have the 890 duke r, love it. Maybe time to test ride the super duke 😁💟
Think about the decat! It’s way Loud!
Can't figure out why a $20k+ bike comes without a quickshifter🤔? I dunno, I'll take my 155whp(flash,decat), $9500 '18 mt10. Found it late last summer, only had 900mi on it, practically new. I know this ktm would gap the 💩 out of me in a roll race but at what price? I've never heard anyone complain about a healthy running mt10. Best value hoon bike on the market!

You need to spend time learning this bike, no it is not a track bike, its a naked with no wind protection but I assure you that you will have more fun on the SD on track than any other bike,. You won't break records but do you try to break records at the track or is it about fun and honing your skills? If you want the bike to loop turn off your traction control and your wheelie control.....things you would know if you learned the bike. For the price of your slip-on you could have had the tech pack which would have made a world of difference compared to a slip-on. Also, Super Dukes are a much different machine, like a Ducati once you get some real miles on the bike. When that engine loosens up you may re-think how it compares to the other bikes. I have owned over 75 bikes in my time and the SD Evo is the bike I have THE most fun on. IMHO owning race bikes for the street is a waste of money, their power is in the top end, uncomfortable and no creature comforts with $30k+ price tags. V-twins have soul and are better engines on the street no question. Get your tech pack installed, get that engine really broken in and I bet it becomes the bike you prefer to ride when given a choice. I test rode all of the nakeds and found that Tuono and Street fighter to be almost useless on the street. The SD and the MT10 are by far better street machines of all the nakeds. Now that is not to say they are bad bikes but they are race bikes converted to nakeds. Why I chose the SD is because it gets the best gas mileage, has all of the creature comforts, THE best street engine probably ever made, back lit controls, great TFT, amazing tweak ability and the most intense smile factor. The KTM does not scorch your balls like the Panigale and most of the race bikes. There are two bikes in my world that have made my top 2 of all time and that is the SD Evo and The Ducati Multi- V4S Pikes Peak. Both made me lose interest in Litre Bikes. Enjoy when you get your SD sorted, you will not regret it!

100% and who rides that fast on the street? Top speed is a fleeting moment of fun, the SD shines in canyon twisties and mid range. There is not another bike that even comes close.
