Chances are you can't select neutral while riding at speed.
Hitting the kill switch while in gear, I thought caused DCT issues??
I hardly ever put mine in neutral, killing it or not, may be I should start doing so.
Are you riding off road? I
No, only rich or mad folk use a 13k bike off road.
As it’s impossible to stall the bike when you ride these technical rocky sections
, and you don’t want to have your throttle hand ‘jarred’, just take your right hand off the bars and ride the section one handed
I'll test my dct tomorrow.. I have never heard this discussed as an issue before, I wonder what the blokes who run the africa twin off road training days in Wales would suggest; apparently they all opt to use dct bikes..
I'd be interested to hear how they do it on DCT.
I might need to pay them a visit
On a steep and rocky descent - the last thing I would do is pull the clutch in ......on a normal bike
I would modulate my speed with front (more) and rear brake (less)
If it was really gnarly I would be in 1st or less gnarly in 2nd
Pulling the clutch in, leaves you out of control and at the mercy of gravity with just brakes to retard the bike, which always ends up out of control imho
As Wreford says - the control is in your legs and feet with your bum as far back as you can get it (on rear brake light) on a descent
Only time I would pull the clutch in on a descent is when stopping to take a photograph
Lock a DCT bike in 1st at the top of the descent if you can and don't ride down without assessing it - maybe walk it first ?
Maybe put in manual?
