Great to see another one of your awesome videos! Those were breathtaking views and the entire ride was very scenic. In my opinion the tires might require a longer break in period!

Thanks bro, I appreciate your encouraging words man! In the 3 years I've had the bike, this was the only time I've experienced the cruise control doing that, I'm glad it was caught on camera so we can possibly learn what cause it, right before the light went out, the rpms dipped ever so slightly, hard to hear it, maybe that was what caused a dip in voltage, I'll keep an eye on it and will report everything I learn about it 🤙

Congratulations on picking up the 1100 DCT!! I hope you are planning on reviewing it on your channel, would love to hear your opinion brother! Yes, we definitely need to get together!

Thank you for your insightful videos my friend. I wonder if the buzzing could also be attributed to the new parts you installed, wheel bearings, chain, etc. That plus the new tires have mave made a lot of small changes (surely all for the better). It may just be a condition of all these things having to "get used to " each other. It will be interesting to get your thoughts after a 1,000 miles or so. Thank you again. Peace. Eric in Kissimmee.

How is it in the wet? Where I'm from it's the only 1 available aside from stock Dunlops and been holding off pulling the trigger to put this night dragons on

@ontherebel11

Hi there!! Great question as i have finally made my mind up! I recently rode in the rain for an extended period of time, and relative to the cruistecs, the night dragons felt less grippy, meaning i would lose traction much sooner than i did with the Metzeler cruisetecs, I am aggressive in my riding as i am always testing the limits of my gear and equipment, understanding and knowing the limits helps keep me safe. The dragons also lost traction much sooner in cold temps below 50 degrees, it caught me off guard at first, but after repeated tests, the dragons don't like the cold. Based on switching directly from the cruisetecs to the dragons, my personal choice will be the cruistecs, so i will be going back to the metzelers very soon. This is subjective, and also keep in mind that the rear dragon that i have is a GT, so it might be a harder less grippy compound.... regardless, i will be going to the cruisetecs - they gave me confidence in any condition, almost too good to be true tbh. if you've followed along long enough you know that i took many trips in freezing cold rainy conditions to very far away places and with the tires having 14,000 miles on them , i then took them to the track where i rode at the limits of the bike. I have no dog in this fight - both tires are made by the same company as pirrelli owns metzeler, i paid my own money for them, the only thing i care about is having the best tires, brakes and suspension available for my bike as i view these as safety items - cost is not a factor when i get these items. Long story short, i will be getting the metzeler cruistecs all day long.

For some reason these bikes occasionally will have the cruise control disable if you just turn the key off and back on while you're writing it should sort itself out. Not quite sure how that will work with the DCT though

Hi Fran!! That was the first time it's happened on mine, i've read about it, just never experienced it, i'm happy the camera was rolling.

Have you had the cruise control issue happen again? I had it happen almost daily during winter here in Aus and could not work it out for the life of me. Now that the temperature is picking up its only happened once or twice so I’ve put it down to a temperature thing but it really puzzles me. Simply turning the bike off and on again fixes it so it could be a voltage thing too. But would really love to know what’s going on. Honda themselves couldn’t find it either. I also have the night dragon tyres (only done about 2000kms on them) and love them

@@ontherebel11 I’m thinking of buying a new battery but a better one to see if that is the case. A lot of people say it’s the brake line but that only causes the cruise control to disengage but what we’re experiencing is the whole cruise control module turning off which is not right

Hi James! Good hearing from you! I haven't noticed significant loss of oil on my bike, i have to keep a closer eye on it and keep a record if and when i add oil.

Hi Gus, whem I will need to retire I will go into Metzler. As I remember you were impressed even in first miles..... Maybe it just needs "to sit" but I would not try it. But by my milage you will change tires again when I will need to change my tires. One more think Gus- this week I have met one guy which has 2023 Rebel 1100 and he has asked me if I also have those "unstable cold start" and as I hade described him how my cold engine runs he confirmed that also with his bike. That means guys from Honda dealersjip were right with their explanation and their "emision theory". I just wanted to tell you😄👍

Is that to do with the carbon filter dumping fumes into the throttle body on start up? I sometimes have issues if I start up too soon after switching off when the bike is hot and the valve still opens and dumps fuel vapours into the engine causing the bike to over rev when I try to slow manouver.

I had the cruise problem, just adjust the rear brake switch. I was accidentally tapping it when it was set. It didn't turn off completely, just disengauged. About the tires, would you recommend the Metzler or Pirellis for an old guy that doesn't do track but does twisties and highway?

Hi James, you will love the cruisetecs way more than any other tire for the rebel, they are the only tire that I will recommend for the rebel 1100, you will not be disappointed with the performance: highway, twisties, cold, hot, rain, grooves on highway, plus the Longevity!

I’m pretty sure that’s the same set of twisties that you shared video of a while ago. Interesting to see the difference between you taking it easy on the night dragons versus getting after it on the cruisetechs. I know you were intentionally taking it easy on the new tires this time.

@ontherebel11

11 ай бұрын

I'm glad you caught that! I deliberately took the exact same route I took when I test rode the cruisetecs, it made sense to do that since I have the original video to refresh my memory. Took the exact route a second time on the dragons last weekend, the turn in characteristics are definitely different, the dragons seem to turn a tighter radius, a more sporty feeling (not sure the average rider will like that feeling). I experimented with the suspension to try and get a better feeling. The dragons are very stiff so softening the rear suspension helped in reducing the bounce I was feeling. The buzz is still there and it's definitely the tires and not the new chain and sprockets. I have about 300 miles on them, hoping to put 1,000 fairly quickly. I still feel that for the average rider the cruisetecs are a better choice. Fyi, I didn't feel a wobble at high speed when my rear preload was at 18 clicks, but dropping it to 14 clicks it came back slightly.

@SuperChonus

Thanks for the added detail. Interesting to hear about the new buzz/vibration you're feeling. I hate feeling vibration through my handlebars. I have issues with my wrists, and I spent a lot of time and energy fixing that issue on a previous Yamaha FJ 1200 and my current Yamaha FJ09. I also installed a Magura hydraulic clutch system on the FJ09 to lighten the clutch pull because of wrist pain and that is another reason I'm looking at the Rebel DCT. I'm curious to know your thoughts on the Night Dragons once you’ve passed 1,000 miles. Your description of “turn a tighter radius” and “ more sporty feeling” sounds good to me, but if you have to sacrifice high-speed stability that requires sub-optimal rear suspension settings to correct, I can see that’s not ideal. You seem to make the stock suspension work just fine, but have you ever considered throwing some Penske shocks on the rear? shop.penskeshocks.com/collections/rear-shocks-cruiser-motorcycle/products/8900-single-adjustable They offer a 13” length, and I think they would be a direct bolt-on, but I’m not sure. Of course, they’re not cheap. It seems you could ride as hard as you wanted with the Cruistecs and were touching pegs before reaching the limit of those tires, but…”Pirelli Night Dragon” sounds more badass than Cruistecs :) @@ontherebel11
