tps evaluating for ii issues

Bikes sold in America are built to meet different emission standards. I asked Honda to remap my ECM with a map used in Europe (because someone from Europe had posted that his ECM was remapped by Honda and it cured the problem) and Honda responded that they could not do this because of the U.S. emissions standards. At one time the Japanese bike manufacturers sold bikes that were 48 state emissions compliant, and bikes that were 2 states (Ca and NY) compliant (cars also). My 1998 VFR800 is like this, but I don't believe this is the case with the CB1100. Ca and NY had (may still have) stricter emissions standards than the rest of the country. We also use a "Summer Blend" of fuel, and a "Winter Blend" of fuel. I am going to drain the "no name" fuel I purchased at the 7-11 station and refill if with Chevron fuel to see what happens.
