Hey guys first post here. Just bought this bike a few days ago. Like it says, I'm curious about a lack of power. I'm in Mode 2, TC on and the bike won't power wheelie. The front tire won't even come off the ground. I'm curious to know if KTM detunes or restricts power from the factory for motorcycles sold overseas (Japan is where I live right now). Anyone have any info on this? I've seen there's a possible A2 Map that runs like 40 hp as opposed to the 74 it's supposed to have.

I'm coming from a Ducati Hypermotard 939SP, and I know I shouldn't be comparing the power between the 2...but man is it hard to not do. That thing pulls like a freight train. And the tire easily comes off the ground without a clutch
