Quickshifter faulty

Hey everyone,

I've been having problems with the quickshifter ever since I bought the bike used, and I'm trying to figure out what's causing it.

The issue mainly occurs at higher RPMs (around 8,000 RPM and above). When I use the quickshifter, it will sometimes fail to engage the next gear and instead end up in what feels like a false neutral.

For example, today I shifted from 3rd to 4th at high RPM. The shift didn't complete, and the bike was stuck in a false neutral. Opening the throttle just caused the engine to rev freely as if it was in neutral. The only way I could get it back into gear was by pulling in the clutch and shifting manually.

More commonly, the bike briefly goes into this false neutral, and because I'm still on the throttle, the engine hits the rev limiter. A moment later, the transmission jolts and either finally engages the intended gear or, occasionally, drops back into the lower gear instead.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be a quickshifter sensor adjustment issue, a clutch problem, or something related to the shift drum or shift forks? Any advice on what to check first would be appreciated.

Greetings

How do i know if my duke 390 has a quickshifter installed

There is an option to activate it in the settings, and i can turn it on. Does it mean that a quickshifter is installed? I bought it from a non ktm Store and they told me it doesnt have one but the setting is there.
