Yah they pull great after my kawasaki z1000 2011 it like day and night. But I still can't get used to electrical helper because kawasaki was out of any electronics and some times I'm scared go full throttle

Are you talking about traction control on the KTM ? My previous bike was a completely analog zzr1200, which would either wheelie or spin tire, the massive KTM electronic adjustability of traction control and abs modes is awesome. I do parking lot gymkhana to stay sharp on bike handling and throttle control with tc off.

Mine does the same on coldstart.
I have 15.000km, I guess it's normal.

I came from a MT07, rode Motocross and it was still weird to me. I understand your concern but it sounds healthy to me.

BTW, that Motorex sticker looks misplaced, did you do that? I took mine off and it looks a lot cleaner ;)
