You’re wind noise, did they change the bracket that holds the display to give it a different viewing angle with the update? I know Honda was getting complaints about visibility and how dark the screen was was, so I wonder if they adjusted the angle of the screen up, causing it to catch air. If this is the case, look at an older bracket to swap on.
@233kosta 2 жыл бұрын
If you look at the bracket it's mounted on, there's already some adjustment in there, so you can tilt it yourself if needed, but that won't change the height of the tilt axis if that's the problem.

there's no need to rev out that high until you hit gear 5 /6 . the max torque comes in around 4-8k rpm, so youre not getting more acceleration without more torque, so might as well shift up so you don't put more wear on your engine by having it in constantly higher than 8k rpm when you're not getting more torque anyways. unless you like that rung out throttle sound, then I guess youre doing it for the sound lol.
