I wear Trilobites, different model, love it.

Just for diagnostic purposes you can simply unplug it. When the ECU finds no signal from O2 sensor it will assume it is faulty and will default to open loop fueling. It will keep reading other sensors and read the appropriate values from fuel maps, so the engine will run OK. You will get the FI...

Never underestimate O2 sensors. It does not have to be dead completely (which would be a better case actually), but it can report false data to the ECU which in turn will send wrong fuel/air mixture because of it. O2 sensor is not there to protect the cat, but to keep the mixture as lean as...

That would be ridiculously high. From the notation in the document it is not clear, so I assumed that what they meant was the more sensible calculation method. You may be right about the possible programming difference. However, I could not find any regulatory data on odo for that matter.

Yes, it is huge. On my Aprilia scooter I was doing max speed of 149 km/h indicated, 135 km/h GPS. The difference was 14 km/h, which was still within spec according to this ((135+8)/10=14.3). I could not find any info on odometers, but I always believed, that speedometer is related to odometer...

The EU legislature on speedometer accuracy for motorcycles: The production shall be deemed to conform to this Regulation if the following relationship between the speed indicated on the display of the speedometer (V1) and the actual speed (V2) is observed: in the case of vehicles of categories...

Interesting, but I am a bit curious, where do you plan to go far enough beyond EU borders to be taking such drastic measures? I mean, I am from Europe too, and it is so overpopulated with gas stations everywhere that I figure that a small 1,5 litre plastic FuelFriend[emoji2400] canister which I...

I use D in the city and sometimes on open roads as well, because like it has been said, even D can be sporty, it's in the throttle and brakes, how you use them, so it behaves accordingly. At WOT it will accelerate from lights just like in S mode and in the city I don't need to run in higher RPMs...

telecam's story is more a story of incompetent dealer service. The fault he had is actualy very rare not only for DCT, because shift motor itself (component that failed) is not some new technology, just like an electric drill or your kitchen mixer is not and as such should usualy be very...

I am one of those guys who do their diligent research before buying a bike. My recent bikes were Honda Varadero, Suzuki V-Strom and, yes, an italian scooter Aprilia SR MAX (Piaggio engine proved in Vespa models) which I still have after 25000 km in its saddle without a hickup, all models with an...

For speedometer calibration this is usualy used: SpeedoHealer v4 Full kit - HealTech Electronics Ltd.

My Integra is smooth as butter (in two cylinder engine terms of course), it starts to vibrate at 5000 RPM, leting me know that the redline is near and I should shift up when I ride in manual. It is smoothest at 3000-4000 RPM where I'm at when cruising on highways, so just perfect. If you have...

Fingers crossed on the fix. I am not sure however if BMW in general and this model in particular would be a better choice for the future. You've had a bad luck with your particular Honda, but as a brand it still has a much better reliability record than BMW.

^^ Very well put.

Integra 750 2017 (17 months old, still under 2 year warranty), only 24000 km (15000 miles), no problems so far.
