All 33- How Do You Use Your Dct? Suzukijo, not to be presumptuous, but you can override any auto mode (D or S) by simply pressing the up or down paddles on the left. This will put you in manual mode immediately and in the next higher or lower gear, no…
- How Do You Use Your Dct? Suzukijo, my riding style is similar to yours; I use D mode in traffic to chug around town. I also use S mode similar to you, except we don't have canyons here in North Florida, all roads are straight and flat. However,…
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? anbark22 was my twt name. You may remember me, as I had quite a few posts on twt. That was a great forum with a wealth of information pertaining to the Bandits.
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? Suzukijo, now I remember you (from the Suzuki forums). I too had the 07 Bandit 1250. It was a great bike. No complaints whatsoever. However, I got the new bike itch and traded it for the 2010 DCT. I love it as well;…

- Exhaust photos and comments. I disconnected the flapper cable and that does sound great as well though. I agree, way better than stock, but it still has that tinny metallic sound. If the stock exhaust is a 2, disconnecting the flapper makes it a 5,…
- Exhaust photos and comments. Just as an addition to my previous post, here's a 3 part video I took of the stock exhaust, the stock with the flapper open, and the DAM, from various angles, all in 1080p HD. Should give a very clear example of the…

- Synthetc Oil Change ....Now the Transmission is Silky Smooth I just completed an oil change at 4500 miles, using Amsoil 10W-30. There is a noticeable difference in the transmission now. It's like night and day. Before the oil change, in "D" mode, the transmission was jerky and…
