I have gold wings for more than 10 years and in 2021 I had the opportunity to buy a brand new DCT tour and I love it. DCT all Day long.

@frankward8003 4 года назад

Yes the clutch takes some adapting too...just like the DCT does....but once you adapt your wonder how it ever felt strange...the way the clutch is setup allows for quick smooth shifting..you barely have to pull the clutch to shift...downshifts at speed with its slipper clutch is very smooth....the ride modes does the same with the 6-speed as with the DCT, except for the shift points...put the bike in sport mode and it feels like it gained 20hp and the suspension feels a bit tighter...Honda did a heck of a job with the 6-speed transmission...huge upgrade over the old models.

Your reference to “manual transmission bigot” seems inappropriate. It implies hatred and intolerance. I don’t hate DCTs. You prefer it, and I prefer the MT6. You have your reasons, and I have mine. That’s why they make both.

Great video Cruiseman. I have always had a manual transmission but regret not going with the DCT on my 2018. The manual is really smooth though. I’ve had no problem with the clutch. Stay safe and ride safely.

@cgaralis 4 года назад

Drive modes change the throttle mapping, Traction Control and the suspension. On the DCT it also changes the shift points.

@lorenerickson6578 3 года назад

So, which bike do you prefer: DCT or 6-speed manual? Everyone is raving about the DCT but to me that's like driving a moped. I love to 'disengage' after a long driving stretch and put the bike into neutral, cruising to my stop with no care in the world. I'm leaning toward the manual 6 speed.

@Hogdriver88 4 года назад

I wish I test rode a few manuals when I was researching the new Goldwing. I don't dislike the DCT at all, but there's something about the sound of a manual going through the gears and the control of manual shifting. That hydraulic clutch is not adjustable like a cable clutch is. HD is the same way - the friction zone is all the way out near the end of lever travel.

@lorenerickson6578 3 года назад

So, you would have rather purchased the 6 speed manual? I am wrestling with these choices but am leaning toward the manual. With DCT, it sounds like one is riding a moped. What are your thoughts?

@Hogdriver88 3 года назад

I am very happy with the DCT. It makes riding that much more enjoyable and fun, whether riding long distance on highways or carving mountain twisties. It is far from riding a moped - try one and you will see - especially in sport mode, with or without being in manual shifting mode. My only thought is how it would compare to a 6 speed manual and I would have liked to try one during my 1 year of research, but there were none available. I am happy with my purchase and do not regret it at all.

@edwardkellar8835 4 года назад

Chris, the 2020 model has improved throttle response in all modes compared to the 2018. I just traded a 2018 in for a 2020, and promptly took it out for a 3000 mile walk to Michigan from Texas. Seat has also been improved, and I was able to ride 12 hrs without hurting. The new model is hands down much more refined.

@cruisemansgarage 4 года назад

I will take your word for the throttle response. You have logged a lot more time with the 2020 than I have. But, the seat is the same SKU from Honda as the 2018 seat.

@michaellynch2559 4 года назад

I have the 2018 manual Tour. My clutch works perfectly, the idle remains steady and smooth, and it is the best shifting motorcycle I have ever owned.

@lorenerickson6578 3 года назад

@glennpotter8344 Месяц назад

You can't "adjust" a hydraulic clutch unit. The clutch not engaging until the top of travel is likely because it is worn out. The revving at idle might because the coolant level is low. On a Honda car if the coolant is low the throttle body does not get the heat it needs to work properly. Not sure on that as I am a Honda Automotive tech but the theory is there. On my 2004 Wing I had to tear it down quite far to get to all the gear clamps it had to stop the coolant leaks. Had the fuel cell out and everything to get to the clamps. I think it had 32 clamps in total Crazy. Overall still love this bike enough to buy it twice...

@JohnnyC10071959 4 года назад

In my Honda Hybrid the drive mode effects the response of the cruise control (as well as shifting and air conditioning))

@Petesmotoadventure 4 года назад

I have the 6 speed and did a video on why I bought it over the DCT. The drive modes are the same on the both models, when it comes to throttle response and traction control on the tour models. The drive modes have nothing to suspension as far as I’m aware since the suspension is not electronically controlled. The clutch on my bike engages sooner than that one, also remember it has a slipper clutch that makes the RPM come up as you let the clutch lever out.

@bobcook599 4 года назад

When I picked up my 2018 GWT6 from the dealership in February 2018, the clutch engaged immediately with almost no dead zone. I had to stop and move the adjustment dial to "3" because I felt unsafe with the way the clutch was engaging. My assumption is that it came from the factory set that way. Scary for me as when I hopped on the bike for the first time, I was in between two rows of new bikes (outside) and I had to make an almost immediate 90 degree turn, followed by going down an incline, having to wait for traffic, and then making another 90 degree right hand turn. The clutch has been fine ever since...

@davidphillips6132 4 года назад

I’ve never really had a manual bike but I really am spoiled with the DCT

@jamesb.2064 4 года назад

On my 2018 manual, the different modes only appear to change throttle response. I don’t believe the "Econ" mode re-maps the engine response otherwise. My clutch also engages right at the end. I also had to get used to that when I got the motorcycle, but don’t notice it now.

@deanesonthemove9574 2 года назад

probably already answered in the comments below ... but yes, the throttle response and 'fueling' from the computer is altered for the different modes. its actually very common. there are many many sport bikes out there that have different modes to 'tone down' the fueling for rain or UP it for sport, etc. This has been out for over 10 years on some yamaha, kaw, honda and suzuki sport bikes.(and others) I love the idea of the DCT. I had a DCT honda NC700 for a little while and it was amazing the fuel mileage and how smooth it was. On buying a new goldwing, I just dont know about the clutch lever & shifter missing. I feel like riding wouldn't be as enjoyable. who knows. everyone online that has the goldwing DCT loves it. But Ive always been a manual trans car guy, and almost always had manual bikes. feels good to ride it and shift gears etc etc. PLUS a lot of slow speed maneuvering is accomplished with clutch lever feathering & slipping. So when considering a new goldwing, the more people I see LOVING the DCT, the more I question getting the manual version. .......... help

@geraldlefebvre7877 4 года назад

@mineaim7066 4 года назад

I've got the 6 speed. The drive modes affect throttle response. Mine is a base model, but I think on the 6 speed touring model it also affects suspension behavior.

@datrc51 Год назад

I actually adjusted my NT700 clutch to engage that late, 1/4 end of lever release, for quick shifting. Need to get use to that, or else engine would stall.

@byronruhter1480 3 года назад

The 6 speed manual transmission just got more attractive. Max at Traxxion Dynamics is about to fix the problem of the short shift lever that makes it hard to get the left boot under the lever. This will be a huge fix. The DCT is awesome but now I can enjoy the end of the nagging short shift lever.

@garytjarks6506 4 года назад

I've had my 2018 Tour almost 2 years now, this after a 2015. So I think I can make a good call on the difference between the 5 sp and 6 sp. 6 speed all the way, it shifts so smooth and drops the RPM 500 @ 70 MPH. I do not know what the MPG is on the DCT, but I get about 48.5 all day long @ 70 in Tour mode. I've never ridden a DCT, but I will admit that the hill assist is very welcome on the 6 speed. About the clutch friction zone, where is the lever cam adjustment set at? I like mine @ 3, seems to be the best zone for me, but to each their own on all of it.

@charliejamz. 4 года назад

I have my clutch lever set to 5 so it engages almost immediately. The drive modes are for throttle response. Sport is very impressive lol. And rain gives you very little power, and works very well in the rain.

@leeschulz7543 Год назад

Honda really seems to push the DCT goldwings. In 2021 I went to a Honda demo ride and all the demo goldwings I believe 10 had the DCT no manual transmission bikes. It was in Costa Mesa California with lots of traffic and I wasn't a fan of the DCT lots of shifting up and down and not real smooth shifts. I bought a 6 speed manual goldwing.

@lay1back 4 года назад

I’m not a DCT type of guy. I want the transmission to shift on my command. I know there is a manual mode, but if you use that, you might as well include a clutch. I don’t even like different drive modes. I think that learning how the bike behaves, and having that continuity is safer. I don’t need buttons to enjoy my ride.

@arthurstoys7981 2 года назад

@jfro5867 3 года назад

Just bought a new 6sp 2019 Bagger (in UK). I have owned a DCT Honda and it was very nice but it does have its quirks so I am very happy about my choice. Sometimes DCT does not know what gear to be in especially when going downhill and it can sometimes be distracting looking at what it’s doing. Yes shifting on DCT going up is very very smooth but on downshifts coming to a stop can often be a bit ‘lumpy’ where a slipper clutch manual would not be. Think the ‘bigot’ remark was uncalled for, choosing a manual box on your motorbike does not mean anything other than that, I want a manual box. Anyhow, horses for courses.

@steelbraided 3 года назад

I'm still torn. While many supercars are moving to dual clutch trannies and gaining quickness as a result (I understand that a well sorted DCT can shift faster than any hand rowing a lever), I also see a trend away from more "engaging" driving. One thing I covet about and associate with riding a single track motorcycle, is that the need to use all 4 extremities in fluid fashion contributes to making the overall experience more engaging and facilitates the magic of feeling "oneness" with the machine, road and surroundings. No question this DCT is a marvel of technology and even addresses successfully the low-speed issues associated with earlier clutchless executions (thinking about the FJR AE here), but I still remain on the fence.

@frankpellegrino7448 3 года назад

Can’t speak to the DCT as I’ve never ridden one but having ridden for 50 years I can say that my 2019 tour shifts better than any other bike I have owned. I shied away from the DCT because I was concerned about slow speed maneuvering, I ride mostly two up on this bike. Friends have the DCT and love it and there is no way I can shift as fast as them but I am very pleased with my 6M. There are five positions on the clutch lever, very easy to adjust.

Drive mode has a large amount of effect on the clutch operation, especially at low speed. I use econ most of the time, and the clutch engages about midway through the lever travel. I have a 2019 Tour, Manual, and love it. Never a problem running through the gears.

@roadglide 2 года назад

Smooth shifting? listen to the KLUNK on your first two shifts while pulling out. The idle transition map of the ECU needs to be run through its initiation procedure. With bike motor COLD, and without even touching the throtle, in neutral, centerstnded, start the motor and let it adle until the temperature gague reaches its "full warm sweet spot" and continue to idle for about 5 minutes. Then switch the ignition off. The idle be stable and the transition from idle to higher RPM programing will be better. prs
