Hi all


2015 sdr
First 1 k service
Dealer wants to bend me over for $600 aus to remove the anti wheelie control ,ktm download ,race or circuit pack download I think he said.

Wtf
Thought there was something not right with it when try a few minor 2nd gear monos
And 2nd to 3rd no go at all

Was not aware of this 'safety issue ' pre installed
Q.1
Is this total bs
Q.2
Is the price total bs

Can't see a future with this 'safety police installation' so will have to have it removed some how

Setting .
Mtc off
Sup moto

Any hoo
Am thinking of going ,as the cash flow allows of course.
Stage three Rottweiler air filter mod and sas/canister removed, possibly dual 40 mm stacks,
Decat link pipe
Db killer removed from standard muffler
Arka map ,will ask the cost of this tomorrow when I get bike back from shop!

Any advice or local help ,Melbourne
Would be awesome

Know a solid mechanic in the area ?


Cheers

The ONLY anti-wheelie on the pre ‘17 SDR is the traction control: MTC.
If the MTC is off, you can flip the bike all the way over if you want.
First 3 gears will lift the front even if you’re sitting on the handlebars.
Either you’re not really turning the MTC off or there’s something else wrong with the bike.
There is no “race pack” or “circuit pack” for pre ‘17s. The only thing even related to that is the “race dongle” which preserves your MTC and ABS settings between turn offs. Without it, those settings revert to ON when you turn the bike off. Perhaps this is your problem?

Thanks for the info

Mtc is definitely off and sport on
And the dealer , mechanic is not so knowledgeable as ktm aus tech department confirmed ,no anti wheelie
Another shop confirmed this.

It does get an electronic update though

Will see later on if I can loop the bastard ..

just kidding

Prick was still trying to sell me the pack this morning over the phone ,will get bike back soon.

Cheers for the feed back

This is pure speculation. I seem to remember hearing from 1290 folks that there is a break in period and once over a specific amount of miles a dealership can and will remove something in the electrical software system that opens up more fury out of the beast. This could be where the system has not been enabled or maybe disabled creating a weaker fuel code. I believe that KTM also likes a looks at the bike for valve clearance issues at this same post break in period. Some-one in the know needs to speak here. I think your need to talk directly with KTM headquarters to get the straight poop is in order.
The 990 first service was a whopping $600 US. First 1k on a 2015???
