Just picked up the bike from the shop - ecka00_imp - 02-06-2017
It was 55F in NW Ohio today so I took the opportunity to pick-up the bike from the local dealer today. I had some warranty work done (valve cover gasket, side cover replaced and idle issues) and the tires changed. God I missed her even though it's been too cold to ride. Every time I pulled into the garage and she wasn't there I felt like a part of me was missing. Anyways enough about my personality disorder. ..
I thought you guys may want to know I had the same RPM issue this past summer that a few of you have suffered so I asked them to call Honda and see if they would replace the idle control valve even though I couldn't reproduce the issue--told them it was random. The dealer inspection revealed "the connecting seem to valve had a bent connector and was very corroded". That is straight from the Repair Order. They cleaned and fixed the bent connector. I'll let you know if the issue presents itself this coming summer but I haven't read about anyone on this forum with said problem talk about a bent connector or corrosion.
Also, pretty awesome of the dealer was they inspected the the valve clearance at no additional charge while they had the valve cover off for the warranty covered gasket replacement. Honda East is a high volume dealer with really no competition here in Toledo so I didn't expect them to go the extra mile but they sure did. A bit of advice though, don't wait until spring to have your bike worked on in this region--there was a month plus wait last year when I called.

Good deal. Should be ready to rock n roll when the 50s and 60s get here for good.

Are you losing your grip, Ferret? The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and even the 00s have been and gone. We're getting mighty close to the 20s again. A 2017 model will hit a shore near you sometime soon.

Nah, he's talking about the 2050's and 60's!

Hey Ecka00,
Glad your back on the road...
Let us know how that Idle problem goes. Was it High idle or a low idle with bogging down and stalling?
