:I picked up my new GW last Saturday from Honda of Russellville in Russellville Arkansas. We (wife and I) immediately left the dealership and headed to Eureka Springs for a quick weekender. I must admit the bike met all my expectations. But more importantly, it met my wife's expectations.
I am coming off a Yamaha FJR and was worried the GW would not be as responsive as the FJR especially in the area of handling. Although it does not handle like the FJR, it comes pretty close. Close enough that I may sell the FJR.
One thing I noticed was an uneven idle. Not a rough idle just uneven. Only noticeable when approaching a stoplight and when I engaged the clutch the engine would rev up and down. It never would rev above 1,000 rpm and never low enough to die. After a few seconds at the stoplight, the idle would even out. Any suggestions?
Overall we love the bike and hope to put many, many miles on it.
