Nikkon Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Hi all, I own a 2015 DCT version. It only has 12700 km so far and I believe it might have some transmission issues. I mostly use it outside city for long rides. On the past 2 months I used the bike alot in town for commuting. I started to feel some shoks and delays when switching from 1th to 2gear in drive mode. After a long drive everything works fine again. Do I need to be concerned? I do change oil (motul 7100) and filters every 5000 km. For some reason I have the feeling that dct was not designed for city usage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrenk Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I don’t think you have a transmission problem. The transmission can be a little clunky at low speeds in D mode, but personally, I keep the DCT in SPORT mode for low speed, in town and traffic use because I prefer the more robust engine braking. I really only use D mode for highway speeds. Of course, my fuel mileage isn’t the greatest, but I find it a fair compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkon Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 I got it. It does make sense. To be honest keeping the engine only @ 2-3k rpm might not force it however have no clue if this is healthy.

andy Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 My 2012 6spd owner’s book says I can shift into 6th at 37 mph (60 kmh), but unless I’m on level road, it’s not a smooth ride. At this speed in 4th it’s very quiet and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spreeweiler Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Let her warmup a litte while longer in the morning? I won't put her in S (sport) until after a minute or two at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S mode once I have 2 lines on the oil temperature That's not the oil temp but coolant temperature (water). Oil temp gets up slower than that of the coolant so i would leave it in D for a little more. I have oil temp in my car and it climbs a lot slower than water temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
