Found this little do-hickey after doing a lot of reading about
the throttle jerk problem...

Ok, so after a little research and a big desire to cure the
throttle snatch/jerk, I decided to buy one of these.
I run my bike as a big enduro machine, as ktm meant it to be.
That means it's ridden across rock gardens, single track and
gnarly hills.
The one thing I really wanted changed...apart from the
suspension and air filter and can...was the FI snatch. And
pretty much all FI bikes have it, but I miss the carby days big
time.
So I dropped the $$$ for this, it arrived within 2 days fitted
up a treat. In fact the hardest part was wondering where to
mount the module. The bike fired from stone cold first go, and
I left it for its 15 min idle.
Tomorrow I'll give it a run and see how it goes and add the
result on here.

I hate the snatchiness of the 690 as well. It got a lot better
once i fitted a Vortex ECU to the pig and the jetting settled
things down. Didn't totally "cure" it, so I bought a G2 throttle
tamer and it helped out some more.

Last but not least, I had to adjust my use of the clutch. KTM
provides a great hydraulic clutch. It's fairly sensitive to the
touch and if ya learn to apply it at the proper rpms per gear,
the snatch problem is quite minimal. :P

Yeah, the Vortex does disengage the O2 sensors so if you have
one there is no need to do this mod. I also fitted a tamer, and
it makes a world of difference, ( tried both with and without
vortex fitted).
Just remember no turning the key when you do any of these mods!
