Quick shifter problem...

Yes, stronger spring was an attempt to help with the false neutral, esp between 5 and 6.

If I remember correctly replacing the shift locker spring with a stiffer one would help with the false neutral issues.

„Some people say“ this one helps enormously ;–)

Stronger Spring

I disagree that a stronger shift spring really heals the root cause of the false neutrals and for sure not any quick shift issues.

Oh yeah, me too. Not in all cases helps. I bought it and never installed it. What o needed was to better adjust then shift lever position.
But non the less, changing the spring was meant to help the false neutrals (wether it works or not) and not the quick shift issues.

@Harold J. The FactoryPro already came with a replacement spring. But it seems to be exactly the same as the original one. Anyway...I don't see how the stronger spring would improve the quickshifter functionality. Maybe a stronger spring would "lock" the gear better because of the force applied to the shift star. And maybe better feedback from the shifter. But it would also require more force to be applied on the shift lever to shift gears. I made an appointment with my local KTM dealer to have the quickshifter recalibrated. Maybe this will improve the downshifting. Thanks for your suggestion.

I realize this is old post and you might not even have the bike anymore but did the recalibrate for quickshift work out.

The recalibration job helped a little, but it still wasn't perfect. The strange thing is that the more you ride the bike, the better the quickshifter works. At least it was for me.

Maybe its just a good break in period or some parts need to get a little wear on them to make them work as intended. Trying to find neutral though is testing my patience

You'll get used to it. FactoryPro Shift kit helped a lot with this problem. With their spring an lever, you will get a bit more feedback from the shifter.
