The clicking you hear when pressing the clutch lever is the clutch switch and happens on mine to. Ive had that on many bikes, basically its the switch that detects if the lever is pulled in for the bike to start.

Possible im misunderstanding though.

I hope you get sorted.

Its not only the clutch noise, the throttle has the same "click" noise everytime when release. My AT 2017 dosent have this annoying noises, my another CB650 2024 it doesn't have these annoying noises either, and neither does my Yamaha Tracer 9

This other user also complained about the noise his throttle makes, and was told it's something to do with the solenoid or something like that. I find it very annoying to buy a new, expensive motorcycle and have to listen to annoying click-click noises all the time.

My 25 adv has over 1000 km on it now. Never had any issues.

your only complaint to me that deserves a visit to the dealer is the stalling.

Check your battery cable make sure it is tight. Look at the linkage for the clutch. Do you have a center stand ? If so make sure the chain is at the right tension otherwise you will hear the chain smack it occasionally too. Mind you really this is all 💩that you really shouldn’t have to deal with, but it seems like you have a 💩 for brains dealership you have to contend with

 

[wags]

YES! Back to Dealership unfortunately... keep us posted.

You still never mentioned wich country you are from?

Its not normal whats happening, and i really cant imagine that in the western world this could be accepted.
Honda has got a service department, and they can lead you to a dealer that knows how to handle these complains.
You do have (at least i guess that its worldwide) a Digital service record.
Thats where you can keep all recorded.

Hope you can work it out with another dealer, otherwise contact Honda itself
For the US as an example

After 4 days at the dealership, I picked it up today, and the bike is EXACTLY the same.
It's still making those annoying click-click noises all the time when I press the clutch and release the throttle, and the handlebars are still misaligned! I'm tired of it. I had no hope in this crappy dealership. And it's the only one in my country

I don't want to have anything to do with the bike or this dealership anymore.
I'm going to put the bike up for sale (I'm sure I'll have it for many months) and I'll complain about these sellers. Next time, I won't buy a Honda anymore, I'll go for another brand.

I know they won't solve my problems, but you can see how crap the dealership is in my country.

It’s the dealership.

 

[Oussie]

If you cant figure it out with that crap dealer, find another one.
Dont have to be Honda.
A good mechanic can check it for you

 

[geirvmax]

honda quality today is hit and miss - get use to it

This is true, but the culture around motorcyclist deny it!

You do what you feel you have to do. Someone slightly mechanical to mechanical will get a screaming good deal.

I'd like to say my Local Honda dealer has great service, but I've never needed it.

I've got 11 Honda motorcycles currently in my garage. Never had a warranty issue with any of them except on my '23 ATAS. Had a fork seal leak at 3000 kms, and the TFT stopped responding to touch after the first season. My dealer warrantied the fork seals, changed both sides as well as brake pads in case they were contaminated. Replaced TFT screen and Honda extended the warranty on that piece for another 10 years.

I've put 26,380 kms on it since and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble, and those kilometers include 2 trips to the Arctic Ocean on the Dempster Highway in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and one trip to the Arctic Ocean on the Dalton Highway in Alaska. I'm close to 10,000 kms off pavement alone. Just wore out my third set of tires, 2 sets were Motoz Tractionators. I fkn love this bike. Maybe 2023 was a good model year

Yeah, I'm a Honda fanboy. Proud to be one.

Well. after Dealer visit, I can read your 2 annoyances are the click and the bars.
Fro the Clicks, it is normal. Think like the clicks your pc desktop mouse makes every time you "click" on it to work.
The bars cab be aligned easily as told before by Hood.
The stalling is not reported again, I think it is OK?
I understand some of Us suffer from different grades of OCD, but try to put deaf ears to the clicks.
They do not bother me. Just the opposite. I like them. They let me know the brake and clutch microswitches are working!.

For OP.... Take a watch and see if you can remedy the issue yourself as suggested previously. If not, as stated, someone will get a great deal on a fantastic bike that just needs a few minor issues easily sorted.

Apparently you did not watch. But that is OK, I love ignorant people when it comes to bikes. Had a guy sell me a GSXR750 one time since it would not start. New battery, new plugs etc.... wouldn't even crank. Got it for a scream. Had to put the bike in neutral to load it up. Got it home and gave it a whirl... started it right up. Previous owner never put the bike in Neutral and with the kick stand down, it would not start when in gear. So got a $8000+ motorcycle for $1500. Can't fix stupid sometimes.
Most of the time is the nut behind the handlebars hanging on to them, not the bike.

 

[bmatic]

To the OP… it really sucks that you’re dealing with all the issues described. You should really be complaining about the lack of competency of your dealership and not the bike itself. There are a lot of people that have ridden the wheels off these bikes and then some. It’s understandable why you’re frustrated, but I think you’re focusing your frustration with the wrong thing.

hope you get it all figured out.
