My new DLX
Hey everyone! Picked up my 2023 DLX today from TxPowerSports (as I’m local).
Did I get a counter-balanced engine?!

It’s official
MotoCheez has confirmed the c/b engine! I was going back and forth over the X and DLX because of that c/b engine. Now I’ve got everything I wanted (except for the 6th gear…maybe I should go check that too!)

I don't think so. I think that's new for 23'. But, it's my 1st motorcycle experience so it's hard to miss what I've never had.

When I re-read my question it sounded snarky. I apologize. I was only curious as to the 2023 updates.

Speaking of upgrades check out my headlight inside and wiring bundle behind it! All LED and smooth!

The snarkometer hasn't wavered up at all! Snark-free...

You've got nothing but adventures and fun ahead of you on this bike! Post a photo now and then !

Unfortunately, text can be emotionally vague and/or misleading and is open to interpretation. I didn't think your question was snarky. All good

The LEDs are an upgrade from the 22 model. The previous owner of mine put in an LED headlight bulb. I changed out the front signals to an LED version. I'll do the back eventually, but haven't yet.
