This is the first bike I came across that uses one, and I understand why we have to adjust it. But why doesn't the crankshaft stay balanced? Why does it come out of adjustment? Why don't other bikes use them? It seems like Honda is cutting corners with this adjustment screw, because they couldn't figure how to keep it balanced without us having to do periodically .
Just saying........
Tomas, that's not correct. Other manufacturers and bikes have crankshaft balancing adjustment mechanisms. Suzuki on the Hyabusa, for instance.
Kwaka KLR650 is another.

FJR1300 as well.
