thats my feeling as well, worldwide, in 7 years, they sold many units....but what is 'many' of course.
From all those units sold I'm thinking the ones with the idle issues must be marginal because as it is Honda doesn't do anything or at least recognize any issue.
The bike hasn't even changed mechanically from 2010 untill the EX/DLX models, thats untill 2017 when they went a bit further, but even than the actueal engine is basically the same.
As far as I know, the only mechanical parts that changed were the exhausts.
Single sided to Single + dual and now the 2017 models with different dual sided design.
And a slipper clutch.
Engine wise I have to recognise that all pré 2017 update models were Euro 3, while the 2017 models are Euro 4....but if that translates in new components that could lie at the root of these idle issues, who knows...
