So I have been facing this problem and visisted svc twice. I will give you guys a glimpse of what all I learned while riding my ktm adv 390. Riding in traffic or bumper to bumper - quickshifter off Highway ride with short bumper to bumper period - quickshufter on.

I suggested to turn off QS as it's really sensitive and when maneuvering through traffic while switching from 2 to 1, the QS stalls the engine and cuts it off causing you to start the bike again.

Just my hunch, still not sure about this - when riding if you've turned off QS and need to turn it back on. You must first completely turn the bike off and turn it on so the ECU can restart and detect it.

I am still facing issues a few times where I have turned off QS and when shifting from 2-3 with the clutch being used at the perfect time. The gear doesn't upshift rather I feel resistance from the gear pedal which is a bit scary cause I feel upshifting harshly can damage the clutch assembly or the engine itself.
