I’m on my 5th DCT bike and have owned all generations. It’s an ingenious and brilliant clutch and a Godsend to riders like myself who for whatever reason, can’t manipulate a manual clutch lever! With over 200,000 miles on DCT, not one single failure has occurred. THANK YOU HONDA! Oh, and a shout out to Yamaha’s YCCS, and the FJR 1300 AE, my first touring bike. Getting back on a motorcycle saved my life! Ride safe everyone.
Can we see what happens when the rider's practising slow speed maneuvers, dragging the back brake? Why do the clutches wear out so quickly when doing this?
I think there is something wrong with this video. When starting out in first gear, second gear is already engaged. When you shift from 1st to 2nd only the clutch moves, not a gear mechanism. Once the clutch has engaged for 2nd gear the 1st (odd) gear clutch now engages third so this is where the mechanical gear change occurs. But once you are in 2nd and ready for third and change gears again, only the clutch moves as 3rd gear has already been selected. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UfyyBQUsMLI.html
@@Bryan11210 That is my understanding. If you are accelerating in 3rd gear it assumes you will want fourth and makes that change. If you are decelerating it assumes you want 2nd and will make that change instead.
Do you still need to operste the clutch? What about rev matching?

no, when you select drive mode its disengage all clutches and switch first gear like your manuel transmission by electronic transmission select motor. and when you rotate throttle then its engaging first clutch. and its preparing(selecting) second gear for second clutch and wait for the get enough speed. also its engaging second clutch to second gear for increase speed. when doing this its preparing for next gear and selecting thirth gear for first clutch and waiting for the get enough speed. and all circulation working like this. basically think. you have a manuel motorcycle and have a two clutch. one clutch is for 1,3,5.gear and second one is for 2,4,6. and think you have two gear shifter pedal. and you are driving first gear and when you want to switch second gear you need to activate second clutch and disengage first clutch and change the first clutch gear to third gear for the next move. i hope you can understand my english.
It's annoying that this part is seldom explained. They only talk about the strictly mechanical part. In the case of Honda's DCT (and most DCTs), it's a computer-controlled mechanism.
See explanation from 2004 for Volkswagen DSG transmissions and the Mechatronix unit inside that controls clutch engagements and gear engagements, and various shifting mapping software algorithms.
As Honda is classing normal slow speed maneuvers that you can do on any normal manual bike as "abuse" & refusing to fix or replace the clutches that are burning out doing slow speed stuff, I would say wait until they've fixed them before buying a DCT bike.
This has existed in motorcycles for over a decade by the time you posted this. And in cars, for two decades at a production level. The idea has existed since the 50s
