Does the WE fix the mapping?

Yeah, that’s what I was hoping for! But your absolutely right! I’m not sure if all 3 maps are different on the RWE or just the default. But, I assume because the pipe, and the head being a little different, would make for all 3 maps needing to be adjusted for that. Let me know your thoughts though I’m pretty curious now!

New bike day = #1. First ride day = close #2. Until you loop it out the first day out, like I did with my brand new '78 CR250R. Thing had a beast of a motor. "Hello, do you have a rear fender in stock for a '78 CR250?"

I have a 20WE and a regular CRF. The works edition runs completely different from the standard. The WE is very smooth and linear in all maps compared to the standard.

Sweet Jesus, that bike is pure eye candy. Judging by owner review on here and seeing photos, Honda really home runned the hell out of their new bike 🤌

New owners enjoy for I am in awe and envy.

all 3 maps are different, as you say to cater for the changes for the WE

100%. I rode two laps on it and told him to stop riding it until it gets fixed.

if its getting worse then it doesnt sound like mapping, maybe an electrical issue?

Well Dan should be able to at least trouble shoot it, if it is mapping or electrical. Keep me posted bud, thanks for sharing. Hopefully it’s something dumb, and you guys can get it dialed in.

My R model had a very faint sputter at low rpms. When I switched out the fuel to VP T4 it was way worse. I went ahead and sent my ECU to Twisted Development. All is well now. 👍. No, you shouldn’t have to do this, but it is what it is. Everything else in the bike is rock solid

Sounds good! I did just speak with keefer through email he’s says he did hear of a small ecu issue on the RWE, he did reiterate what you just said about sending it to twisted. Says they have a great reflash.

Congrats!! Such a purdy motorcycle.

Honda has great quality control of assembly and generally produces a good product. Yet, one of the most important parts of their flagship dirt bike is really mucked up on delivery-- completely unacceptable. Honda needs to step up and make a recall given how many units seem to be affected.

In the previous generation (17-19ish) it was the shock adjuster, and improper head gasket, causing coolant loss and warped head..now in the 21s ecu's.... Ridiculous!

I'm a Honda owner (2020WE)...so I can bash freely.

Agreed

Everyone talking about the “bog” have you ridden one?

Last ride of the season I got to spin 5-6 laps on one. When i was on a sight lap, lugging the bike everywhere, there is a bit of a gurgle, but not once did I notice anything when I was doing normal laps on it. EVERY bike bogs or has a hesitation when you are in too high of a gear rolling around on a sight lap.

This “unridable bog” is such an exaggeration
