thats probably the case man.

 

I also want to ask those who have the dct model. in D mode the bike shifts through the gears very quickly and more often than not u find urself accelerating in the 2000-2500rpm range. when accelerating in those rpms, i find that the engine chugs quite abit and doesnt feel right. i now drive in S mode all the time and the problem seems to go away since most of the shifts are done at 3000-4000rpm. anyone else feels that the D mode is kinda screwed?

 

I am happy with the ding ding dong dong D model... gotten used liao.. just find that the bike a bit under power in D mode..

[nudgedoink]

ahaha. good good. i havent try the "manual" yet. tmr otw to work i try.

No worries... That "chugging" is just something that twin engines do at low rpms. Nothing wrong with it at all.

 

The "D" mode is designed to give you fuel economy at low rpms without stalling the engine. And with the amount of torque already present at 2000rpm, there is no chance of stalling at all. Just have to live with the "chugging" sensation due to the low rpm vibes.

 

Feel free to stick to "S" mode if you prefer. Just that you would be going around in max 3rd or 4th gear on local roads and sacrificing some fuel economy as a consequence.

 

The DCT ECU is supposed to adapt to your riding style over time. So maybe you want to consider riding around in "D" mode for a while to see if there's any changes?

 

After a month on the road, I could sense a change in how the DCT adapts to my riding.

 

Initially, the "D" mode would change over to 6th gear once it hits 61kmh. Now, the bike actually waits until I go past 65kmh before upshifting to the final gear. So I guess Honda wasn't joking when it claims the DCT adapts to you.

 

BTW, just wanna say "Hi!" to the fellow NC700X rider that honked at me on the SLE on Sunday morning. You are wearing a "BT-023" t-shirt and riding a black NC700X with a big black top box. I was just day-dreaming in centre lane when he cut me on my left and honked at me. *grinz*

 

that's me lol

 

anyway is it possible for dct model to go "fully manual"? i guess it might solve the weird feeling of the "D" mode

[Wizard]

i think if full manual then they can switch to M mode and change gear by the shifter..

but i would imagine that would defeat the main purpose of dct..

unless of course you are playing around with gears or climbing upslope and need manual override.

I think it's useful, like the manual overwrite in car autos though it's hardly used. One good use will be for track maybe, as you won't want it to upshift in the middle of a turn.

The no of fuel up refill also matters when talking about the user reliability.http://www.creditgif.com/02.jpghttp://www.creditgif.com/28.jpghttp://www.creditgif.com/03.jpghttp://www.creditgif.com/05.jpghttp://www.creditgif.com/04.jpghttp://www.creditgif.com/29.jpg

Fuel saving mode mah....

 

You could trick the ECU into temporary "S" mode: Just twist your throttle more than usual and it would downshift and rev hard for several seconds. Something which I do quite often on the expressways to overtake those slow pokes on the right lane.

The DCT can go fully manual with a toggle of the "AT/MT" button.

 

But the ECU still have final say on whether certain gear shifts are allowed due to safety constraints i.e. over-rev'ing...etc.

 

Eg. Depending on your speed, it may not be possible to downshift 2 gears without actually braking the bike. You can "minus" all you want and the ECU will just let you downshift 1 gear until it determine you reach a sufficiently low speed for the next downshift.

 

"D" mode is not weird lah. Its turning out to be my favourite "Day Dream" mode on the road.

I suspect the "S" mode may be more than adequate for the climb upslope.

 

Recently saw a japanese youtube clip where the reviewer took his XD to winding mountain roads.

 

If the spotty english translation subtitles are correct, he actually mentioned that "D" mode works just fine upslope.

 

The "S" mode is just perfect for the downslope mountain roads where you need more engine braking.

 

After trying out "full manual", the reviewer concluded that the DCT shifts a hell lot better than he does on the winding mountain roads no matter which mode he used.

yep D is fine upslope. at least for the slopes up to mtechnik. ROFL

The d model can sense that you are climbing the slope and will drop gear if necessary..

they do sell the oil together with the kit but i tink if u wan to use scottoiler oil also no prob

 

 

Can i check with you what oil your friends used to refill it? Can I use scottoiler oil?

i dont think it defeats the purpose of dct, the dct has the advantage of not requiring to close throttle before changing gear. so going full manual might actually turn the bike sportier the "S" mode with higher revs. The auto mode would be great in jams or times when we are lazy to change gears

[GuiNNeSS]

well to each his own bro, juz hit 4000km going for oil change later on today

so considered run in liao??

i think run in period is 4-5k cant remember, make it 5k just in case

[Wizard]

loois asked me to come back at 5k after my 1k servicing..

then recently i asked bikeworkz whats the run in interval.. he recommend doing 800, 1600, 3200, 8000...

 

so i also confuse what to follow. heh

i think the first few ones to be safe better to follow the "more" servicing recommended by bikeworkz ba. u go ah beng to svc ah?

[nudgedoink]

lol guys. go check out the tuturo official website. it kehna hack and the hackers damn proud of it

[GuiNNeSS]

huh isit?? really jialat sia......... but overall i would recommend tis product

over scottoiler easy to use, install n cheaper also.

 

 

lol guys. go check out the tuturo official website. it kehna hack and the hackers damn proud of it

[GuiNNeSS]

orh ok i juz follow the warranty card intervals, but i changed oil at the

initial stage at 300km n 800km both times with oil filter.

change oil at 300km? for boon siew first svcing is 800km

Wah.. meaning lost of business ler...

Wah seh... you already changed your EO and filter TWICE by 800km ah?

[nudgedoink]

update on my fc! i pumped when i had 2 bars remaining. did my math and i got 26.2km/l. but this is with a quarter of the tank having fuel from the bike shop and me messing around with S mode and manual mode, plus still breaking in the engine. will ride the next tank on full D mode and see how.

 

btw, those of u with h@b topboxes, do u feel that when u pump petrol, the pillion seat squeezes against the box rack? like the box rack blocking it like that. the rack from mtechnik
