4K just did first oil change. I never done it. I paddle shift 100% of the time. Never use the AT function. Am I missing something?
Captain Jim, I’m the total opposite. I’ve never used the manual mode on my DCT. I’ve pulled the clutch & shifted my HD for 23yrs. Once I got used to the DCT I fell in love! I still ride my Hog & I love it too but there’s no ride like a GW. I do CI if I feel shifts get a little “clunky”. 25K miles & I’ve done it 4-5 times. I can tell a difference each time. Smooths the shifts.4K just did first oil change. I never done it. I paddle shift 100% of the time. Never use the AT function. Am I missing something?
I'm an old guy too at 70. I had a FJR 1300 a few years back with the paddle shifter and loved it. So after that bike I just paddle this one the same, just 2 more gears. I could have bought a 6 speed but I have an issue with my left hand that one day will keep me from pulling the clutch.Captain Jim, I’m the total opposite. I’ve never used the manual mode on my DCT.

I’m an old guy (65) so maybe that has a lot to do with it. 😎
Ride safe! KC
Yep this is about how often I do it too. Some people might claim it doesn't need to be done at all but in my experience it DOES indeed make a difference, at least on my bike it sure does.Personally I do it after oil change and at the halfway point between changes.
Well it would seem to me, if your doing it when your trans is shifting properly, then you wouldn't see a difference. It should be that you only see a difference when the trans is not acting the way it should.....No, you're not the only one. I noticed no difference after the only time I did it and have felt no need to do it again. Makes me wonder how badly the bikes shifted if there is a felt difference after every time its done.
Huh?Well it would seem to me, if your doing it when your trans is shifting properly, then you would see a difference.
Rarely, because when I think to do it, I can't remember how.Just curious what others are doing. It's been 6000 miles since my last DCT Clutch Initialization.

I carry a little "Info card" in the trunk as I'm getting old and can't even remember my wife's name........Rarely, because when I think to do it, I can't remember how.

Yeah that's what I figured....I think he read it before you editted out your typo 😁
