I'll say!
What I find interesting is that the problem only seems to show up in stop-n-go city riding. My '13 displayed the low idle condition just once (at 18K miles), after a few weeks of just stop and go city riding. After that I went back to a more normal routine which included making some power on the freeway. Haven't seen the problem recur (it's been about 3 months).
Given the number of variables involved in the system (ECU programming, numerous sensors, control motors, etc...) I don't hold out much hope that we'll be able to isolate the cause of the issue in this thread. It's one of those needle in a haystack things.
Since Honda uses these same components in other bikes without issue, I have to wonder what makes our bikes different? The obvious thing is that our bikes are air cooled, which results in a much wider range of combustion temperatures. Q: Is there any other large air cooled engine that Honda has equipped with this PGM-FI system?
