Had it drop out of 5th this morning, just after a change... thought it was home, but obviously not quite
Also, are valve clearance & injector 'rattles' normal as it's coming off choke when it's this cold?
I let my S warm up a good bit before pulling away this morning, but 5 minutes up the road as it's coming off the choke the engine sounded quite tappety & rattley ... first/only time it has done anything like, & very disconcerting
The oil was changed only a couple of months & less than a 1000 miles ago so that shouldn't be it... it was fine after it warmed up a bit more

I have noticed (as several others have) that some gas stations have dropped their "premium grade" to 91.. It sounds like you may have filled up with 91 and it could be causing you some engine knock. Keep a watchful eye out for this and try to fill up with 93 octane all of the time.

Agreed. Read pump before you dispense!
There's plenty-o-posts, though, about the gear selector popping out on AP1s. I don't think this is common to AP2s.

And Honda recommends using Top Tier Gas because they don't us additives in there gasoline, that contain manganese-based fuel additives such as MMT.
Hey why not start a thread sighting stations with 93 and 92 octane. I called just a few. One station didn't even know what they had.

Highway K & Highway N
93 octane
