That's correct. And also if I see something painted over at some motorbike, I see there usually is something (some damage) hided with that paintjob...

Sry, but it looks butt-ugly.

Had choice to try both situations, front 120 and 130 mm. Didn't notice any difference in handling.

In my case with the Healtec I got the same "-" steady blinking after deleting errors and no gear could be activated after that. Healtec did not warn about deleting calibration settings from TCM in any way. Engine started normally. Solution was to re-calibrate the transmission angle sensor, look...

Some time after Honda released the DN-01 there was a recall for the TCM. They exchanged the TCM for new one free of charge. I really do not know why the recall is made. You can ask from your local Honda (by VIN) is the TCM exchanged on your bike or is there still the faulty one used. Probably...

On my friend's bike the transmission motor failed very early, at 25000 km. Angle sensor still working well. Probably you will get a blown 30A HFT Motor Fuse when the transmission motor goes bad. But yes, as the angle sensor is just a simple mechanical potentiometer, it well may wear out at...

The Healtec OBD will connect with DN-01 system also, as with many other Hondas with FI fuel system. I tried the Healtec OBD as I was thinking it is well developed tool as they advertise on their site. Final truth turned out to be somewhat different... While using the Healtec, it silently...

As much as I know there is two options only available for DN: 1. OEM air filter element. Good quality, real air filter. 2. K&N so called "filter". Really just some kind of a strain, not doing real air filtering about smallest dust particles. It also needs regular washing and oiling which is...

Personally I would gather a brave breath and buy one OEM control motor to wait it's time on my garage self. We all know the OEM parts usually are a bit higher quality than aftermarket ones. OEM part prices in US are usually much cheaper too than here in Europe. This motor we fixed here lately...

I have no choice to gather statistics about the failures of the swash plate control electric motor failures. But it seems most common failure is the C-hape magnets getting loose. It seem to happen usually at bike age of 90000...100000km (60000 mi). So not very often. But we have to remember...

There is no field windings, this is a permanent magnet motor. There is two C-shape magnets installed in it producing the field. The solution I described is useful only in case the permanent magnets are in good shape and still in place. Situations when motor went bad reported mostly describe...

Happened so the transmission control electric motor went prematurely bad on buddy's bike (about 25000 km on odo). Right in the middle of normal road riding, giving out the DCT error message (28) (see the service manual page 11-26). Motorcycle reported not to accelerate normally after that and...

How you, obviously speaking english as a native language, would describe the situation about engine, when fuel mixture is extremely lean? Backfiring perhaps..?

You do not notice the engine "sneezes" at the "yank", like engines do when fuel mix being too lean?

Sure it would have been nice to meet a perfect motorcycle. Dealing with bikes over 40 years and never met such yet... But DN still is pretty close to my understandigs about perfect bike :) Well balancing between riding and tinkering pleasures.

Yes, right, intercooler is for making air cooler before it enters engine combustion chamber. And because the cool air is more dense, it contains more oxygen per weight per given air volume (kg/m3). And other gases too the air contains (mostly Nitrogen) ofcourse, but as those gases do not support...

Yes, my mistake. Stupid me, living in a metric world, still confused about the mpg measuring unit. But I consider +/- 5L/100km still as a pretty good result (my 1500cc Goldwing was asking about 7...8L/100km). Maybe you have better quality fuels also in US available. In my life the lowest fuel...

Sure your consumption is realistic. And it depends somewhat on riding style ofcourse (mine is quite aggressive). And on weather temperature (it is not too warm in my riding area), engine temperature rarely goes over +70C/158F. Cooler running engine will consume some more fuel. The smallest...

So, here are some results. With Power Commander and also Autotune installed and also actively used. I'm riding all the time Autotune activated, letting it make corrections in +/- 20% frame. Actually I was installing PC to get rid of this annoyng yank at about 80 kmh/3500rpm. But in the end got...
