They suggested the Power Commander and Remus slip-on could be the issue, spark plugs (those were done a few thousand miles ago), and "tps voltage low" with a recommendation for a new battery @ $120 plus $100 labor, no thanks. As I work with batteries all day, hand-picked this one and tested before install, it is one month old (plus it had a new lithium in it for a month before I switched back to AGM, so it's 100% not a battery issue).
They gave me no further insight into helping getting this problem fixed, so I'll be trading this in on a Tenere 700 whenever a dealer close by gets one in stock. I really wanted to love this bike and put as many miles on it as I could, but at just over 20k miles, I'm not going to throw hundreds of dollars at a bike that should be dead-reliable

Did you review Max's IACV thread?

It won't help. I have kept quiet because I was hoping mine would somehow magically disappear. At a little over 5,000 miles, my 2013 standard has started idling at 2,000 and nothing helps. Had a new (probably 2013) IACV installed at the dealer and it drove away from the dealer just fine. Lasted a couple days and back to fast idle. Since I asked them to install the IACV and didn't specify why, I am sure I will get the same response from them that you did - they don't have any idea and they'll sell me every possible component until they find one that works, or I run out of money.
Your idea is the best. I don't want to dump it on some poor innocent biker who will be on here looking unsuccessfully for a solution in a few days. A trade-in might be the only way out. Maybe I could part it out and get my money out of it that way. I can ride it this way, I guess, as little as I ride, and see if it ever gets better.
Also, it does seem to run fine without the TPS connected, so I could put a piece of electrician's tape over the "check engine" light and disconnect the TPS.
For what it is worth, I think it is a real shame that Honda has never sent the software update and a notice out to US dealers.
It is also a real shame because I really like this bike otherwise. It really puts a tarnish on the whole experience.
