Consumer Description

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH FALSE NEUTRALS AND THE BIKE FALLING OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN DRIVE. THE BIKE WILL BE RIDING IN 5TH GEAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES POWER. MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND AFTERMARKET MANUFACTURERS HAVE EVEN SOLD A SHIFT SPRING KIT TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE STOCK SPRING IS WEAK CAUSING THE BIKE TO FALL OUT OF GEAR. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE KTM DUKE 690 WHICH SHARES THE SAME ENGINE.
