P500 Twitchy on pavement

What did you get?
I own a couple of ACCUTIRE digital gauges.(I lost the first one in the clutter of my tool box for a few years) One has a range of 0 to 99 psi and the other goes to 150. They were around $12 and appear to to be accurate, at least they both read the same. I got them because they were highly rated by Consumers Reports.

Cheap ass slime gauge from AutoZone.

Remember when Honda gave you a free gauge for spending thousands on a new machine? Don't understand why that went away...

..........My dealer says this is not covered by warranty............Can’t believe Honda ships them that way.

Shouldn't that be a part of the multi-hundred dollar PDI charge?

I agree that its the alignment. I had the same issue when mine was new. In a curve it would lean inward and then violently go outward. Scared my wife. I thought that is just the way they handled until one of my front tires was nearly worn out at 200 miles. I carried it to a local alignment shop and had it checked. Toe-in on one side was out by 1 inch and the other side was out by 2 inches. Handles great now. My dealer says this is not covered by warranty. I could see this causing an accident and a potential law suit. Can’t believe Honda ships them that way.

Yep!

A) Why did you pay a premium for a quality machine and then get a slime gauge?

B) Your forgetting how cheap the tool kit tire pressure stick was, first time you pull it out of the tool kit on the trail there is mud caked around the stick and your wondering if the reading has any meaning at all.

C) The p1k guys spent a good bit more and didn't get a gauge either.

And your point, HA?

a) Doesn't matter to me if its super accurate, as long as its consistent. Having them all the same to me is more important that "X" amount of air...at least for these.

b) Don't care how cheap it is as long as it works (see "a"). Mine were never caked in mud because i took them out of the tool pouch and put them someplace safe because i figured they would get caked in mud if left in the tool pouch.

c) Then they should be even more upset...but i figure 1000 owners just let the man-servant deal with it anyway.

You seem a little agitated @lee? Methinks you could use a vacation. Maybe a dry desert climate...
