Gentlemen, again I thank all of you for your replies. My bike has been back to the dealer 3X now. I have had conversations with two different Honda representatives over the phone (the dealer provided the phone number for Honda service), and Honda has not done a thing to my bike. (It's funny, but I asked both Honda representatives on the phone and neither of them was a mechanic or had any real mechanical background.) They hooked my bike up to a computer and performed a diagnostics test twice, and found nothing wrong both times (I didn't think they would find anything wrong). They did not perform a vacuum test either time. Their "official" explanation is that the injectors come set from the factory and they (Honda mechanics) cannot adjust them because to do so would be breaking the law (has to do with emissions). My bike is definitely running better now but this is due to it being broken-in (1,200 miles). It still gurgles at light throttle openings below 3,000 RPM. Not only is this annoying riding around town, but when I'm riding the canyons and doing a lot of shifting into and out of corners. When I coast into the corners with the throttle off, down-shift, and gently turn the throttle on when exiting the corners, if the RPM is below 3,000 the engine gurgles (stumbles), and the power drops off below 3,000 RPM. But, as my father taught me, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself, and I will correct this problem myself. (Sometimes you have to pick your battles.) I own a mercury manometer, and as soon as I get my Honda service manual I will figure it out. Honda acknowledged that they are adjustable, and I can see what appears to be adjustment screws located on the bottom of the throttle bodies. Just in case anybody is interested, I will post my results in a week or two.
