Thank you very much Pterodactyl 
I am surprised the dealer didn't know to do this either. However, they didn't even know how to perform a vacuum test on this bike (at least this is what they told me, and they asked me where the independent mechanic who measured the vacuum on my bike hooked-up the vacuum gauge). I'm tempted to call Honda (factory, not the dealer) and inform them (I had been in discussions with them several times), but I'm not going to waste my time because the representative that I was talking to wouldn't understand.
I'm glad this worked for you Dave. I've been following your travails with interest. I'm surprised the dealer wasn't aware of this procedure.
Cheers

Thank you CIP57.
Dave i know you have been having issue, glad the bike feels better. I tried this myself for the heck of it and did notice the bike pulled out of the hole a bit better with 1/4 throttle inputs. Glad it work out and hope it holds for you.
