The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) on my Honda started to have an issue. The last few days the gear switching was not smooth and fast anymore and sometimes there was a clicking noise.
I had an issue with it at around 80’000km in Australia and fixed it in Chile, but then I couldn’t switch down anymore when riding in traffic and the motor got warm.
So I thought this was a different issue. I resetted the DCT and it felt better. But soon after the 4th gear got stuck! So it indeed was the same issue: the electric motor for switching the gears was worn out again! Back in Chile they cleaned and refurbished the e-motor, but now at 145’000km it was time for a replacement. I got a used one with about 25’000km on the clock for 200€ (new one would be twice as much).
Everything is smooth again now 🙂
I bought some new Givi side panniers!
the old ones were bent, broken, water leaked inside and not secure anymore.
it felt like moving to another home 🙂
Thanks RODaventura for organizing the new boxes so quickly.
