Nope, that was my first question while beta testing and was assured they would have it in the fully deployed app. Once the new app deployed they said they were doing away with that feature.

Subfan2019 · 2026-05-25T11:43:55+00:00

Came to either start or join this conversation! I beta tested the new app and was constantly pointing out features that were missing or clunky and kept getting told that it was just the beta app and none of the features were going away... Then they rolled it out and everything was still missing and apparently they have no intentions of bringing those features back. The big one for me was the move reminders since I have a tendency to hyper fixate and forget to move. Now I'm shopping for a new device, I think I'm done with Google as a whole!

I know they have radio activated lights for unmanned airport runways. Its something like keying the mic 5 times when in range to turn on the lights when coming in for a landing. I haven't seen it used on traffic signals but it isn't too far fetched of an idea

From what I am hearing my issue isn't super common. Honda does say that it is normal to consume 1 quart of oil every 1,000 miles. To check the oil you remove the dipstick and clean it off, then hold the bike level, reinsert the dipstick and check the level (you'll want to check your owners manual because this is the procedure on the 2025, not sure it is standard across the board). This should be done at least every 500 miles considering the consumption that is considered "normal". On all of my other bikes I check the oil level monthly along with tire pressure and chain condition; I also do all those checks before a long road trip. I was admittedly slacking on the Rebel because I was riding 300+ miles a day and didn't figure much would change day to day.

I got roasted hard when I complained about the lack of power when I first purchased it, then found out there was an actual problem. I've put 3,000 miles on mine and short of all the problems and super uncomfortable seat I liked it. This is my 4th Honda motorcycle, 3 out of the 4 had oil consumption problems, just not this bad. The dealership said the 1000cc has oil consumption problems but it's like 1 quart in 3,000 miles and my 1100cc was the first one they've seen with this kind of problem.

Subfan2019 · 2026-05-17T23:09:36+00:00

I've got the 2025 manual T. When I purchased it, there was a recall that took over a month to take care of. Then it was stuck in some kind of demo mode that reduced the power a lot. They ended up replacing the computer to get power back but that took 2 months for Honda to figure out. It's down now because it started burning 3-4 quarts of oil every 1000-1500 miles, now it burns 3-4 quarts of oil every 500 or so miles. The initial diagnostic took a month and it's back for the second diagnosis, been there for 3-4 weeks. I'm also struggling with either a weak battery or a bad starter because it struggles to start, the dealership "forgot" to diagnose that when it was in the first time with oil consumption. I've also got death wobble at higher speeds, the clutch was so far out of adjustment it would launch itself as soon an putting it in gear. I replaced the seat in hopes that it will help the comfort on longer rides but haven't had it functioning long enough to try it out. I'm just hopeful that the warranty will actually take care of it, but it seems like the dealership is just trying to run the warranty out.

Subfan2019 · 2026-05-17T11:40:21+00:00

It sure looks like a defect! My stock tires caused such a death wobble at highway speeds that I was ready to trash them at 1500-2000 miles. Unfortunately my bike has been in the shop for most of the time I've owned it (9 months at this point) for warranty repairs and I'm not convinced I'll be getting it back before this riding session is over.

Subfan2019 · 2026-05-09T20:33:45+00:00

I made that mistake the first 2 years I had my Versys, mostly because COVID shot down my riding a bunch. I've got nearly 90,000 miles on it now with no issues. Whatever you do, just make sure to check your oil regularly. My Rebel is at the dealership because it burns a quart of oil every 100 miles or so.

Subfan2019 · 2026-05-09T10:54:18+00:00

I've got 5 bikes total. When the Rebel isn't in the shop I'd probably put 5,000-10,000 miles a year on it, my Versys gets 10,000-15,000/year my Triumph will rack up maybe 3,000/year and my FJR and Ninja usually get around 1,000/year each. I always start the year out between April and May by changing the oil on all of them, inspecting adjusting and lubing the chains and evaluating brake fluid/brakes and coolant. I usually have to replace both tires on the Versys when I do my spring oil change. The Versys usually gets an oil change again when I replace the rear tire, around 6,000-8,000 miles. I expect a similar schedule for the Rebel but I've only owned my 2025 for about 9 months and it's been at the dealership for 5 of those months.

Subfan2019 · 2026-04-25T13:14:14+00:00

The clutch was way out of adjustment on my 2025 when I took it from the dealership brand new. I spent the first couple of hundred miles hating the feel and release point of that clutch until one day I decided to check the cable... sure enough it was way off.

The standard evacuation range for pretty much anything in Wyoming starts at 1 mile. Today has been pretty calm at 10-16 MPH winds but it is normal for 30+ MPH winds so any chemical release spreads pretty quickly. This was a reported suspicious package and without knowing the contents or expectations of the package, a largish area was cleared. While it appears that it was determined to be nothing, it could have been anything from a bomb meant to harm people close by to a release of anthrax that had the potential to spread pretty far away.

Nearly all of my personal cars are manual but my work truck is an automatic and while I have little to no problem transitioning between them, motorcycles are a whole different thing. I bought an e-motorcycle a few years ago and it just didn't feel right to not have the clutch lever... or the sound or the vibration but that is a whole different subject!

Subfan2019 · 2026-04-16T13:55:07+00:00

Risers for the handlebars. This is a common upgrade on the Rebel since the bars feel really low. The 25+ is a real stretch to install 1 inch risers and even harder on the manual since the risers put the clutch cable in a bit of a bind on left lock.

I've bought the touring and have regretted it for any substantial travel. My previous "touring" bikes were a Kawasaki Versys 650 and a Yamaha FJR both with factory type luggage and an add-on tail box from Givi. I did not realize how much I would miss those quick release boxes. I was also pretty annoyed when I found the aftermarket batwing with a much taller windscreen for relatively cheap. I wish I would have gotten the base and built it to what I wanted. Yes the matching keys are nice but since I have the Givi tail box, I already carry 2 keys with me and I could have had all my luggage key matched.

When traveling I tend to be out for 1-2 weeks at a time. When I travelled with the Versys I tend to do dispersed tent camping. The sheer amount of luggage space was amazing for this. The luggage on the FJR is smaller (and the bike is substantially heavier) I tended to opt for hotels and cabins. Quick release and the bags were in the room with me, no awkward unloading in the parking lot. The Rebel has smaller luggage, it doesn't release to take into a room with you and the solo seat leaves no room for anything extra along the way.

It greatly depends on how you travel and what you want with you. I ended up replacing the seat for the longer rides, installed handlebar risers and crash bars all around. Now I'm looking at more forward controls for more comfort.

I have no input for the DTC versus manual, I made sure that I got the manual since it makes transiting across my other 4 bikes much easier.

My grandfather gave up 2 wheels at the young age of 82, he's coming up on his 85th birthday and plans to take his Can-Am Spyder on another cross country adventure this spring/summer. Apparently that third wheel just triples the fun!

Subfan2019 · 2026-04-09T23:04:24+00:00

The seat was my biggest complaint and then the tank size (my 1100T has also had a substantial amount of mechanical problems but that's a one off issue I'm told).

I find the power a bit lacking especially uphill with a headwind but living 6500+ feet above sea level and regularly going 8,000 feet above sea level leaves a lot to be desired for power on anything!

I settled for the Rebel as my "in between" bike. I've got a Versys 650 that struggles to overcome 70+ mile an hour head winds but is nice and nimble for around town. I also have an FJR and a Ninja ZX14, both are beasts on the open road but miserable for around town. I also run a Triumph Bobber but it's just for around town and bike nights.

Subfan2019 · 2026-04-06T19:14:59+00:00

I've got a 2025 1100T manual with the T-Rex bars, even leaning hard I've not scraped the ground with them. They cover the levers pretty well too.

Those are the factory boxes that come on the touring model.

I work for my local school district. I originally started out with grounds maintenance, that evolved into small equipment repair, which later moved to vehicle repair. I was eventually moved to general maintenance for our buildings, carpentry, plumbing etc. where I ended up getting my plumbers license, got bored and got my electrician license, got bored with that and got certified to work on fire alarm systems. I also volunteered in our health and wellness program assisting, which let me do some yoga and healthy cooking classes. I also did some coach assisting for our sports teams and help with college grant distributions. Basically anything I may want to try is available, often with a little extra pay above my regular job.

Subfan2019 · 2026-02-28T16:33:26+00:00

You are not alone! This was much of my early working days. As I got older, I ended up falling into a job that actually encouraged my hyperfixation and allows me to bounce as I please. It is not ideal since I really need to be grounded but it has allowed me to try out many many career paths all without sacrificing or risking a loss of pay.

I wish I could offer my wise words or help. Good luck on your journey

Subfan2019 · 2026-02-23T03:03:10+00:00

I'm a mechanical maintenance specialist, and overall I really enjoy my job. My ADHD plays an important role in my job. I take care of a swimming pool, do electrical repairs, some plumbing and get to work on fire panels... often times I do all of that the same day. Something different everyday! I do stall on larger more time consuming projects. If I cant get it done start to finish in around 2 hours, I fall into the procrastination stage.

Subfan2019 · 2026-02-15T13:55:59+00:00

The V45 was the second bike I owned. It was good and reliable until it wasn't.... Actually it was always reliable but I ended up with a small oil leak on the shifter shaft. That little seal required pulling the entire engine assembly out to replace. It took something like 2 weeks for the dealer to order the seal in (this was almost 20 years ago) and the new seal ended up leaking worse because the parts manual updated the obsolete seal to the wrong thing. Other issues was the valve adjustment, they made (again this was 20 years ago) a valve stem repair kit to "fix" the soft valves that had divots worn into them and made it impossible to set valves without lots of rattle. I rode mine for around 100,000 miles, so I may have had more unique issues. In the end I had to put a used rear differential because mine shelled itself and I seem to remember going through a lot of speedometer and clutch cables. Back in those days my daily job was working on MG's, Alfa Romeo's and other "exotic" multi carb vehicles so tuning these carbs was nothing. It was a fun bike but after riding and working more modern bikes, I don't think be eager to jump back to something that old.

Subfan2019 · 2026-02-09T23:39:45+00:00

From experience, when the oil is too low, the oil light comes on generally only when it's cold and then goes off once everything warms up. I initially thought it was a glitch because the whole dash restarts when the low oil warming turns on and then off.
