Hi

I am troubleshooting a spark issue. Is the spark pulse area supposed to have oil in it?

Changed the front tire today, all went well, cable ties went good, tire direction on the wheel was fine, the bead set ok at 2.5 bar, bushes installed on the correct side, lube on the seals and shaft and everything mounted perfectly except.........

Breaking the bead, very easy and quick,
don't worry, the rim was supported, this is just a mock-up to show how it's done;




The brakes were dragging, they never drag; what went wrong

Balancing the wheel by using an alu rod, the tire settles as i rotate the rod left and right, nothing fancy and it works,
The stand is a home made paddock stand for my cb919 hornet;


Answer tomorrow

The quality of the PDF/s is fair to good, depending on the initial date of issue of the manual.

I think the first big Honda I coveted was the 1983 CB1000 Custom. The first Honda I really wanted was of course the CT70 and then the MR 50, but I digress. I still see some nice CB1000Cs for sale at pretty reasonable prices and wonder if anyone here has had one. How does it generally compare to CB1100. They look like they might be more comfortable and I think it's probably a faster bike. Not sure about about acceleration and performance. Maintenance may be an issue too. I love my 2013 but I'd love to hear your comparisons.

If you think lane splitting sounds dangerous, you'd be taking a bigger risk to stay behind this landscaping truck. I wonder how much of that stuff was still attached to the truck when he got where he was going.

A beautiful November day, 50 degrees, sunny and no wind. Took a trip east along the Columbia, crossed the Bridge of the Gods and headed back west on 14 on the Washington side.

Just west of the Bonneville Dam




A nice hiking area along the bank of the river

I grew up in Kansas and we prounouned that other state "our Kansas", so I had to take a photo of this sticker


Started getting a bit nippy as the sun went down, but I recently purchased some glove liners and they helped...as did two layers under the mc pants, 2 shirts, a sweatshirt and winter mc jacket, baklava under the helmet...just warm enough to really enjoy a 100 mile ride.

Just got this 2014 CB1100. I am 5'4" ,I can ride it, but wished the seat height was an 1" lower. I've had three 750K's at different times in the seventies and eighties and had no problems riding them; I think I shrank, LOL.
Can anyone direct me to a thread which may help; I am new to the forum.
Thanks
