All 13- New Owner VFR1200 DCT LOL I was waiting for someone to bring up the Harley "Sportster." I didn't make a pass in manual mode only because the launch is the same as in sport mode. In sport mode the bike shifts just before the redline, keeping…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT Absolutely! The funny thing is, reading the manual would give you the impression Sport mode takes off quicker. Maybe something is lost in the translation, but it say use sport mode for passing and "pulling away faster."…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT First of all, thank you for the detailed response, I know now, that there isn't something "wrong" with my particular bike. The point you make about lack of instant power to get out of a bad situation, is a very valid…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT Thank you, I read your post, and that is interesting. I am starting to wonder if my bike has a problem or not. I found a review on line last night that showed a video of a DCT pinning it from a dead stop and it only…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT I didn't run it at the track in "M" mode, but I did some testing yesterday and the take of performance is the same in "M" mode as in the other modes. Until I pinned the throttle for the first time, I "thought" mine…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT If harley used the name "Sport" in the description of a bike, then yes I would expect it to perform in a sporting manor. I think you're missing the point. [image: View Post]Solomoto, on 14 April 2011 - 04:10 PM, said:…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT It's nice to hear from a few people that have something to say other than expecting a "sport tourer" to be sporty is asking too much....... I think that what you are referring to as the sport mode adjusting to the…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT My honest opinion is that the clutch really isn't "fragile." I think Honda applied the same level of restriction to the DCT model as it did the standard model. Looking at the owners manual, the DCT has a higher gear…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT Thanks to everyone for the reply's........................ Funny you mention dragstrip numbers. I couldn't find any numbers for the DCT model, yet there were plenty posted for the standard model. Again, they both are…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT No, I wasn't expecting a "Drag Bike" If I wanted to drag race, which I "do" I would be riding my ZX14. What I "was" expecting was that a bike sold as a "sport" tourer would at least be a "little" sporty in all respects.…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT If this clutch is so fragile that it can't handle any more power than it is being given, it will never last. I'm going to put it on the dyno and open the throttle, I bet it puts no more than 40 HP to the ground until…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT Thanks for the link........... I found and read through that thread, and understand that the de-restriction mod does not work on the DCT model. What I am trying to figure out is rather my bike is on par with what is…
- New Owner VFR1200 DCT Last weekend I purchased a new VFR1200 in the DCT model. I have read on here about the power restrictions, but didn't realize just exactly to what extent. So this weekend I am riding with a couple of my buddies, one has…
