You can simulate the friction zone control by selecting "rain mode" to de-sensitize the throttle response and dragging a tiny bit of rear brake. That will get rid of the drivetrain slop between idle and when it starts moving slowly and tighten those turns. . I have taught the Rebels, Africa Twins and Gold Wings with the DCT's this way.

Correct, yesterday I picked up my 2023 Honda Rebel 1100 DCT

I wish to God I lived in your town. Lol i’d be at your class so fast it’ll make your head spin lol, I just bought a Honda shadow 750. I wanted a Harley, but I was just out of my price range and Hondas have that Harley look, It’s not the smallest, but it’s not the biggest thank God. I’ve done laid it down 3️⃣ times so I’m studying every single one of your videos. I’m so grateful someone like you has a channel, dedicated to help teach and save some lives. I’m in Mississippi. I’m completely having to learn and do everything on my own. There is no classes or anything like that around me I can take. I’m so grateful for your channel, I had no idea about the friction zone. I was doing everything wrong before I get back on my bike. I need to get over the fear and get my confidence up. I am afraid of the lean. I’m not gonna lie. I had no idea about turning your head. I had no idea about none of this, but that explains why I went down so much 0:01 I’m gonna practice practice practice but first I’m gonna study every single video on your channel lol Thank you for doing this. Thank you very very much. If I am going to make my dream a reality and become a rider, your videos is going to get me there. 🙏🏻

That DCT is amazing 🤩 I have a 2016 Honda CTX 700 DCT. I’d like a Honda rebel 1100 tour or a Honda Goldwing with DCT

[@SouthernJaeger]

Looks good, I like the idea of automatic transmission, but I’m still in love with the Harley Fat Boy 114

[@BloozBone]

I like Hondas, but no DCT for me. I'll do my own shifting, thanks.

[@mikemccormick8115]

I used to say that too. Then I bought one of these.

I had kept the pegs in stock position. It's a bit harder for older folks with knee problems. No clutch is not my style. But yeah all of the inlines are smooth.

[@tomfillmore9710]

Thanks Gerry for sharing the ride take care ride safe

[@Skiamakhos]

Jerry, if you get the chance, do the Honda Offroad Experience on a DCT Africa Twin. By the end of the day I guarantee you'll have the DCT completely down, mastered all its foibles, and have no problem with your low speed control. Part of it is developing throttle sensitivity, part is knowing how to set the settings for the context - where and what kind of riding you're doing. They'll have you doing slow stuff on slippery mud, shale & gravel, and you'll see what the instructors are able to do, that spend all day every day with these bikes.

[@notorioussob9445]

Im lucky enough to own a 22 goldwing DCT. It"s absolutely in a class by itself...... truly amazing!

Exactly. Unless someone is handicapped, there is no real reason to get rid of the clutch...

[@nhzxboi]

Honda makes the mistake of calling it a "Rebel". As a kid in the '80s, "Honda Rebel" meant a 250cc beach bike...the kind you'd rent at Daytona during spring break. The toy aspect of the name has been burned into my brain since then. 'Eh, it's only 40 years back.

[@motorman857]

Worse than calling it a Rebel is making the 300, 500, and 1100 all look exactly alike.

[@christophjohnson3777]

Yeah, a rebel 1100 just doesn't sit right with a shadow 1100 rider like me. 😂

[@jbones2121]

I got that same slip on V&H on my Rebel 300. It’s so high pitched it hurts my ears. Sounds much better on the 1100

[@dry509]

Same here in Houston on metrics? Crazy…

[@markh.harris9271]

The Honda Rebel (500, 1100) is one of the finest bikes Honda makes, in the price range. I owned the Rebel 500 and loved it. I must say that I would not ever want to own a DCT motorcycle; well, maybe if I were 80, and wanted a scooter. I'm sorry to have to insist that a motorcycle without a clutch, and wet clutch basket, is NOT a motorcycle. I would never purchase one, ever. When I sold my Rebel I actually made $2000 dollars on it; well it was pandemic time and metric dealers could not get the bikes... high demand drove the prices up. The Rebel makes a really good learning bike for new riders who are planning on working up to a Harley-Davidson some day. The bobber styling is very cool, and the handling is very nimble and forgiving. Its a butt buster though... I swapped out the seat on mine, and I put a Puge windscreen on her. Thanks Motorman; love the color. Mine was pearl white. marcus

[@steele952]

Have you ever reviewed the Honda fury? I’d be interested in watching that! Thank you big fan of your channel

[@motorman857]

Many years ago when they first came out. As far as choppers go, it was more rider-friendly than Big Dog, OCC and the like. But it was still uncomfortable and had an extremely limited lean angle. It also has miserable maneuverability.

[@Texasstyle67]

Howdy Jerry , would like to also see videos of safety and riding tecnics on a Honda CB 500 pc32 or something in that class. Love your channel but in Europe are many bikes in the 500cc class. Many thanks and hope to see something for that class. Greets from a german motorman in Portugal

You have to use rear brake more when doing tight turns. It's a learning curve.

[@MotorcycleSalesVideo]

Hi Jerry, do most motor officers prefer Harley's, or, are BMW bikes more popular?

I’ve sat on the 500cc version and I didn’t like how the seating position felt. Sounds like the 1100 is no different.

Learn to ride a manual shift bike. Then, decide if you need a DCT.

[@simongilbert2704]

seems good value , - but not for me ;;

[@Rollanotheronemyfriend]

Yeah I'd feel like a Rebel riding a motorcycle with a automatic transmission. Are training wheels and multi colored ribbons coming off the hand grips optional?

[@cloud9847]

I, personally, do not like the idea of making motorcycles 'easier' like having an automatic clutch. A motorcycle requires you to have your brain engaged and be 'in the moment' or bad things happen quickly. Having a clutch is a bar for entry. If you're not willing to take on something like a clutch and learn how to use it then riding a motorcycle might not be a good idea for that person...in my opinion. I also don't like quick shifters even though they are amazing. They make bad riders think they are good riders. I understand these aren't popular opinions but a motorcycle, again, to me, is something that is not for the majority of people. Being fit enough and coordinated enough keeps the death toll down. You make these things so easy that any ol complete moron can go operate them and boom - death tolls rise. Accident numbers go up and restrictions are enacted.

[@uwinsome]

Please take a good look at the motorcycle death rate before you make such an uninformed statement ! There's lots of morons with clutch motorcycles that "believe " they are "better" riders for no proven reason 🙄

[@Malevolentguppy]

One need only watch some moto stars videos to see how great your barrier to entry is. People lacking wisdom can learn to use a clutch just as easy as those that exercise it more.

[@grego925]

Motorcycles should have a manual clutch.

[@MikeBarnett1776]

Motorcycle riders should have a choice if they want it, and the Rebel is available with the DCT or a standard shift 6 speed.
