The result was a log jam. Round abouts in the city we exited in were just locked up, and even though we could maneuver faster than cars, and could switch lanes faster to try and keep moving,we were in stop and go traffic that was mostly stopped for about and hour and two miles. All 3 2014 CB's (2 dlx 1 std) were getting seriously hot so we turned them off, and restarted them often, before we finally broke thru traffic. No idle issues on any of them. I think both LR and Offroad have about 6 or 7,000 miles on theirs and I have over 34,000 on mine. So I am not sure it's stop and go traffic and a few lights causing this, but it does seem to be a common denominator in most of the issues we are reading about. Baffling and maddening.
The often restarts may be the reason for your CB and the ones of your buddies, that they don't fell into this strange idle thing. Only a presumption, because we are still in the land of theories and confusion, when it comes to the curation of it. But maybe your Hondas will never fall into it, no matter where they drive and how they been ridden.
My CB is/ was a candidate for it, I can't say it for sure which time form is the case now. Since a few weeks it idles well again after longer periods on the higher side.
But I have in mind that the trouble can start again, in a way comes and goes like the Honda finds it appropriate.
Me and my bike live with it as long as no other malefunction adds to this one, which hinders it from keep on running.
