Following up on advice from the Honda shop yesterday, I loosened my chain to the recommended 1 1/4" deflection (I had adjusted it to 1/2" earlier) and my shifting misses have gone away. I do admit I have a lazy foot, however, which might have been contributing to my shifting woes. The chain was probably at the correct deflection but my simple mind had said "It's too loose and needs to be tighter." That's when my shifting misses started.
Update:
A longer ride this afternoon plus in-town idiot traffic forced a lot of start-stop and shifting. Pleased that I had narry a mis-shift since adjusting the chain.
