If you have a no-link KTM, make sure your rebound damping and sag are set correctly - they're real touchy on those bikes.
You might want to try getting on the back of the bike going through jumps but if thats not the case then you are probably letting off the gas to soon. I had a problem with that too when I was on 85s. Good way to fix that is hold the throttle in the same spot until you hit the rev limiter or you can see you are high enough to let off.
A major problem I had last year was when I crashed my CRF250R in a race and it was a lot slower than pre-crash and kept nose diving in the air. I thought it was the temperature and the jetting was off or the fuel mapping or something that was causing the bike to lug. I found out about a week later when I put a new rear tire on. I spun the wheel to check it was on alright when I noticed it was really difficult to spin the wheel. Turns out in the crash I bent my rear brake disc and it was dragging. It wasn't horribly bent but I was pretty lucky it didn't lock up and stall in the air.
It was a pretty odd incident and i doubt that is the case with you but you might want to check that to as well.
It sure would help you ktm46 if you told these guys what class you race in and if you can measure the jumps. Just some support to back the 'new rider' alias.

this happened to me a lot and i tried everything, then i adjusted my suspension and its so nice now. your bike manual probably tells you this, but if you stand level on the bike, and press down on the foot pegs(not the handlebars!!!(at all!)) and like jolt it down or whatever, the front and bike suspension should compress evenly and the bike will stay level as it compresses. If this does not happen, and either the front or rear goes lower or goes down first, then adjust the suspension accordingly to make it even.
