Today I tried something with the low idle problem of my CB 2013. First it had a high idle thing going, which mysteriosly disappeard after some attempts of mine, but somehow seems to transform into a low idle problem from time to time after a while.
All I did was to drive to the 50km nearby Honda Trader and let the Software being updated. He got it from the General Honda Center Germany in Frankfurt after my request.
The operation lasted 2,5 hours and cost me nothing. No
mistakes were found during the former diagnosis. Everything was fine, the CB reported no faults. He explained that he will declare it as a garantee support, because the software update will fix some bugs in the fuel system. It is programmed for doing so.
I appreciated his friendliness because my bike is nearly 5 years old and has run over 43.000km, of course being out of the garantee time and not even bought by him.
But he had seen it during the 1.000km inspection and the 1. TÜV. So he remembers me and have my data in his customer system.
I observe my CB while I'm riding it, to see if the update has any effect concerning this low idle thing. All I can say now after the latest 120km, the idle was good always a little above 1.000/min. Never in a lower range. I will report some news, if it's again the other way round.
