I cannot give you the wanted details.
I don't have them. Just one, the upgrade was made in the mids of October this year.
I describe the way my Honda got its update.
A telefon call with the Honda management informed me, that an update was available. When I found time later on I drove to the nearest Honda dealer to let it be played on my CB. He knew nothing. So he gathered information and got the update on a cd. We fixed a date, I waited the time my Honda was installed and after 2 hours we were through with it. When I asked for the price of the action the chief of the Honda shop told me I have to pay nothing. Honda did it under warranty although my CB has run out of it because they fixed bugs.
No cash, no serial number but a machine that functions well again.
In our German forum is a member who's trying to find out, if Honda has developed something comparable for the follwing model like the EX. I don't no how successful he has been. After writing something about his problem here and in Germany he did not continue his discreption of how things developed. In a way he was not lucky but hopeful.
So, ask your dealer or even better the Main Honda US Department. They should know something about the update to be on the market or not.
Doing diagnostics can be fine. I did mine as good as I could and tried out different proceedings. Talked to people, read a lot here in this thread. But all curing was not successful. Maybe it helped a bit. Until now the only thing that has been really helpful was the systsem update on my Honda. Maybe CBs are not a alike and need different treatment. I don't think so, they are equal constructed machines. The engineer that informed me let me know, that the update will only cure low idle problems not high ones. Strangely enough. My Honda mutated its idle behaviour after my attempts from high into low ones. So bad so good for the update.....all seems to be obscured and hidden in digital clouds and mysteries, I as a normal human being not being a motorbike engineer am not able to understand all aspects of this issue. Not even single parts of it. The only thing I knew is, that the CB should run well right from start over a long time without any faults in its conception. I experienced misfunctions with other vehicles I bought as new ones and used ones with warranty. I fought with the manufacturers and dealers til they run well, even if it took my time and nerves. It was worth the effort. Same with the CB.
