From reading the thread about DCT problems and looking over the pictures of the sheer number of parts / sensors / devices used to keep the DCT working, gives me a bit of concern about the long term
reliability of the DCT bikes.
Back in April 2017 i did sell my 2016 NC750X DCT for a Yamaha FZ07 because of this concern. Main concern was a perceived high maintenance cost as the DCT bike piles on the mileage.
Not sure if it is unwarranted but just the number of devices used on the DCT bikes made me go to a standard motorcycle with fewer things that could fail.
I did miss the DCT bike though and in April 2018 i bought a new DCT. Still wondering if the bike will make it to 100k km without becoming a maintenance nightmare. Not thinking of selling this time
around. Going to keep it until it blows up.
