Fuel Injection Problem with a 2014 California model

I will not respond to the people who questioned why I did not have my bike inspected on a dynamometer, or why I was relying on seat-of-the-pants riding impressions from skilled and experienced riders/mechanics. Nor will I reply to the comment about comparing the operating characteristics of a V4 versus an in-line 4. I will offer "proof" that my 2014 CB1100 does not run properly. Actually, the diagnosis was very simple, for anyone owning a $600.00 electronic vacuum gauge (as I would expect any qualified / authorized Honda dealer to have). As you can plainly see from the picture below, the fuel injectors on this bike are clearly not synchronized properly. Sorry if I "offended" any members of this forum by suggesting that there could possibly be some sort of manufacturing defect to our beloved CB1100.

I can't figure out how to post a picture to the original reply, but it appears that the attachment can be opened. (At least there was an attachment to my original reply 5 minutes ago). If anyone can please explain to my how to include an attachment or a picture to a post I would appreciate it. This attachment shows an actual photograph of an electronic vacuum gauge attached to my CB1100 at idle. For those who may not understand how this gauge works, the red, horizontal lines indicate the actual vacuum measured simultaneously at each cylinder. The tolerance range for a properly adjusted fuel injection system is +/- 1cm Hg, whereas my bike varies by 4 1/2 cm Hg.

It's all good I just hope you get it fixed and running great.

Thank you Michael.
