Taming the 2018 Wild Wing

I just performed this procedure and it took under 3 minutes; no tools or mechanical aptitude required (Whew! )

The test ride afterwards was incredible. Smooth acceleration, deceleration, better speed match for shift points. The whole Magilla.

If the procedure has never been performed on your DCT bike, I would encourage you to give it a try. If you do it on a center stand you can use the parking brake to stop rear wheel rotation.

In the online "newsletter" published today by this site, I was given attribution for the clutch initialization video.

That attribution is completely incorrect. I simply provided a link to a video uploaded by an individual only identified as "FredH" on youtube and other forums.

While I DID perform the procedure, I am NOT the author of the excellent video and this site needs to give credit where credit is due:

Thank You FredH, whomever you are and wherever you may be.

Thanks for clarifying that, Springer.
