Hard to believe they would void the warranty on something like this but I'll take a picture of the "before" and "after".Hey I'm just saying every nut and bolt is painted by honda when that paint is not lined up they know it these big companies don't make money off of warrenty they will try to sh!!

Just take it off and put to 12 o'clock.Wont void warranty IMOPDealer is 50 miles away...in the meantime I see that the problem may not be that rare. The machine "tracks" good, just the steering wheel says it is is 3 o'clock instead of noon.
Looked at today and concluded it might have to take the 50 mile ride to the dealer. Sitting on the driveway the steering wheel is pointing to about 10 o'clock when the wheels are straight. On the trail it points to about 3 o'clock. I noticed the latter on it's "maiden" voyage with maybe 2 miles on the odometer. There is no excessive play left to right on the steering wheel (i.e. the front wheels turn with hardly any movement of the steering wheel). I'll check the tire pressure before I decide but something doesn't seem right here. I ain't complaining and "as is" is more of a "cosmetic nuisance" than anything...it seems to track as it should.Just take it off and put to 12 o'clock.Wont void warranty IMOP
This is a very common issue and an even easier fix. If your steering wheel isn't pointing straight simply pop off the center cap on the steering wheel and you will see a a nut (19mm if I remember right). Take the nut off and you can pull the steering wheel off. The steering wheel is on a splined shaft and sometimes during initial setup the tech might install it a spline or two off. All you have to do is move it back into the straight position. Super easy! Don't waste your time driving to the dealer, this will take you less than two minutes.Looked at today and concluded it might have to take the 50 mile ride to the dealer.

Agree on the "off topic" part...my fault! I first saw the question here and continued.This is a very common issue and an even easier fix.

We're way off topic from the original post! Sorry Mods, can we make the steering wheel issue its own thread? @Hondasxs, @JACKAL, @ohanacreek, @joeymt33
Anyone that says they've never done it is lying! No worries I'm as guilty as you!Agree on the "off topic" part...my fault! I first saw the question here and continued.
