dies irae
Robert:
Didn't even consider the DCT might have issues with the removal of the speed stop in relation to the shifting, but found this information and the Goldwings site after you made me curious. I also was looking and saw where some having to relearn figure 8s and U turns because of the DCT. They said slow speed maneuvers were different and the guy even laid the bike down once.
Was thinking of getting a Wing but the Valk looks and works like new still with only about 40K miles on it and I don't ride as much as before. I'm on the bike everyday but just not as far. Seems longer trips involve the wife and since I bought a convertible, which she prefers we wind up taking that.
But when we go out to dinner locally we will take the Valk since its much easier to park and avoid traffic .
Nice to hear the drivers here are about the same as your neck of the woods. I think the best one I saw was a guy driving with a dog in his lap, while he was eating and drinking while on the phone. >:(
Did you really say the Wing is slower than the Valk?
Information below,
The SpeedoHealer two important points...
Firstly, it doesn't remove the speed limiter, it just defers it. It can shift it from say 180kph to just over 200kph. It does this by applying an extra correction above a certain speed. Say above 170kph, it adjusts the rear wheel speed sensor pulses down by 14%. And yes, the speedo goes back down as you're accelerating. Then the speedo will climb until about 180kph when the bikes limiter cuts in. But you're actually doing 205kph. Better than nothing but not as good as a re-flash.
Secondly, there are issues if using it to do normal speedo corrections on a DCT. Anything more than 2.5% correction upsets the TCM and the bike won't shift out of first gear. The speed limiter thing works ok on DCTs because you're already in high gears by then.

Merci Robert ! :cooldude:
For what I understand, I'll keep the bike stock as it is ; and if ever I want to crazy on the road :roll:, I'll look for the new Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT which is so much fun to ride for short distances.
