Happy Honda

[Southwend]

Recently finished a 1340 mile trip all the way down the Blueridge Parkway into the Smokey Mountains and back. Bike was flawless and admired at almost every vista pullover. Views, if you have never been, are just breathtaking.
This trip occurred after a Guhl reflash of the ECU. I have ridden the Parkway prior to the reflash and I really noticed the difference. The Parkway used to be a 3rd-4th gear dance up and down the steep grades and around the curves. This trip the parkway changed to a 4th-5th gear proposition. I didn't feel much in the way of a horsepower difference but the bike had noticeably more grunt at lower RPM. I was even pulling hills at 45mph in 6th gear with a perfectly happy non-lugging motor. I also noticed less engine braking, don't ask me why. Overall the reflash, albeit expensive, was well worth it-A very happy Honda.
