I don’t know how to set up a poll to answer this question so I’ll just ask. How many DCT owners have had no issues with their transmissions?
Thanks,

I'm buying a 2013 DCT model tomorrow with 8k miles on it. I am hoping for many problem free miles.
One thing I wonder, do the clutches wear in the tranny like a standard bike to where they will need replaced later? I can't imagine that would be cheap to replace, but could be wrong. Clutch needs replaced in my Vulcan Nomad 1600 so I am gonna dive in and do it myself one day soon.

I bought my 2015 new. 24,000 miles with no problems (except for the time that I hit the kill switch in gear). It turned out to be a simple solution.

Greg touched on this well but let me go a little further. The bike downshifts itself to 1st when stopped and if you turn off the key with it in gear it will shift to neutral upon turning the key back on. Another situation is when you are riding along in 5th or 6th and accidentally hit the kill switch and coast to a stop. The transmission can’t work it’s way back to N for the reason Greg posted. A manual transmission bike would do the same thing. The rider might get down a gear or two but not back to N without rocking the bike back and forth a little to allow the gear dogs to engage. If a DCT bike rolls to a stop key on but kill switch off it will stop in 3rd or 4th and can’t find N unless you roll the bike back and forth and help out the shift actuator servo motor.
... So if something happen and say you killed it in high gear going down the road, could you immediately crank it back? Or does it have to be all the way in neutral before it will crank no matter what?
