did someone here changed the exhaust of their 2017 and > without a powercommander?

I’m not sure how it all works together with the decat and bigger headers.

The reasons I would do it is aestetics, weight, sound and not the most important is some power.

If we need an extra powercommander it’s an expensive modification.

Hi Gang,
I replaced all my brake pads a good while back (more than a year) and at some point I noticed that the rear brakes just didn't feel like they were doing the job as they once did. Of course, I ignored that feeling
So, I got the safety inspection done yesterday and was shown that one pad on the back was very worn while the other is much less so. And I can feel that the side of the disk where the wear is is more worn. (And that is a sentence for the ages.)
I want to get in there and fix things properly but am feeling a bit intimidated at this point. I expect that one of the pins is binding but I'm not sure. And I need to order parts but am not sure what to order so that I have everything on hand the first time.
I have the service manual (though it got flooded and looks pathetic ) so that is helpful, but if anyone can give me suggestions of what parts could possibly be needed and a good source for OEM bits, I'd appreciate the help.
I wish I lived near Razor

I have read online that several Honda CB1100 owners have experienced this problem.

For several years, my 2013 Honda CB110 motorcycle would intermittently experience a rough idle. Specifically the idle would fluctuate between 1100 RPMs and 800 RPMs at about a 2 second interval.

This occurred regardless of outside air temperature, changing fuel brands, and going from 91 to 87 octane gasoline.

The solution was to remove all contents from the small compartment under the seat that covers the battery. And to use the original seat that came with my bike.

This solution is based on regulating the temperature under the seat so that the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is not overheated. The IAT is located in front of the battery and protrudes into the Rear Air Cleaner housing.

I suspect that the dense contents in the under-seat compartment was preventing the IAT from sensing the actual air temperature. And the custom seat was not allowing enough air to circulate under the seat, again allowing heat to build-up and causing false IAT readings.

After making these two changes, I have not seen the rough idle in the last several weeks.

I hope my solution will help other Honda CB1100 owners fix this frustrating and elusive problem.

This morning I spent a few hours this morning to install a new Moriwaki 4-in-2 muffler. I didn't really like the OEM 4-in-1 chrome muffler and wanted something else.
I bought the kit at Samurider (see [url=https://www.samurider.com/?p=6547]this link): excellent service!! The English instructions were minimal but, together with the diagrams on the extensive Japanese manual, just enough to figure it all out.






Advantages:
- it looks much better - at least that is what I think. Others may [and will] disagree.
- it sounds better - no question about it. Only a little louder but much more grunt & bark.
- in theory the bike is better balanced with the same amount of weight on each side. In practice, I doubt if that is noticeable.

MAJOR disadvantage:
- I had to remove the center stand. I can live with that.

All in all, I am very happy!!


P.S. I want to thank Houtman for his post on how to make a home-made O2-sensor removal tool: [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1779&highlight=tool]here.

Local Yammie dealer had demo days today. Got to test ride several models.

Tenere 700.. Best ergos and surprisingly good power for a 700 as long as you keep the revs up. Tall thing. I rode one with lowering kit and lowered seat and still it was iffy at stops with only one toe at a time touching. They had one without the lowering kit and there was no way I could get on it. Crazy tall.



Niken..suprisingly a very nice ride. Rides like a normal motorcycle once you get the image of the front end and tank area out of your head and just ride the thing



MT-10 Sweet motor, seat and suspension very firm, ergos a little aggressive



XSR 900 Liked this one the best. Normal ride below 4000 rpms..hold on above 5000. Good ergos, my toes touched on both sides.

I could use a bit of help.
I had my ECU re-mapped by Guhl.
Great result, what I was looking for.
One problem though, the engine light is on. I need to reset the fault.
I went on line and reviewed a you tube video, however the bike was not the 2017 model that I have.
There was enough of a difference in the plugs that I didn't want to fool with it and make a bigger problem.
I have the 2017 Honda CB 1100 EX model.

Just about to buy a 2019 CB1100 EX in the red and trade my 2016 T100 fully farkled Bonneville in for it

couple of questions please guys

does anyone know who makes a 4 into 1 Exhaust for this model that not a fortune or can I fit the 4 into 1 manifold /headers from the earlier model and fit a decent end can ??

Whats the re sale like on these ? the bike im looking at has been for sale for a couple of months despite only having some 800 miles on it, ive noticed a lot are still on ebay that have been there for some time the Bonneville ive had 5 or 6 offers from dealers all around the same price and almost the same as what i paid for it so not lost a load of money on that bike which makes a pleasent change

Cheers Guys
Rob

I have no real quarms about the suspension ,but have the front forks in pieces at the moment to change the seals and oil and give them a really thorough clean.
My mate sugested I put he Race Tech Gold valves in as a tweak to the front stock suspension.

I am wondering if anyone has done this ? and whether it is worth the AU$250 outlay...?

Cheers

Ultimately these are photos of photos so I'm posting here in this section. As I understand it, back when Honda introduced the CB1100 to the world they celebrated the motorcycle's release with a series of massive posters titled "ignition of life" (a title that few here on this forum would argue with). It is not clear to me if these were actually issued to proud new CB1100 owners, or if they went to Honda dealerships exclusively. Wherever they went, I'm just thrilled that I was able to get my hands on a set. For a 1st generation fan like myself it just doesn't get any better than this.

Hello all. I bought a new '17 CB1100EX a couple months ago and have some questions. I've put 600 miles one it. Before this bike, I had a '74 350F for 5 years. Other than a Bonneville for about a month between the two, that's the extent of my limited experience, so some of these questions will be more on the beginner side, if you don't mind bearing with me. Many thanks for chiming in on any/all of them that you might have input on.

1) When pushing the bike around, off and in neutral, I hear a slight 'shhhhh' coming from the front wheel. Does this objectively mean the brakes are too close, or can this be normal? My other bikes were silent in this regard.

2) Around 50mph, I hear a relatively quiet (but loud enough to be heard at speed obviously) very high-pitched intermittent mousey squeak. It sounds like it's coming from in front of me but hard to say. Any ideas?

3) What are the practical implications/benefits of having a sixth gear? This is my first bike with it.

4) Related to #3, any rules of thumb about gearing and when to shift on an engine of this size? I'm just following my intuition. Is there a good 'cruising' RPM that's good on the engine?

5) This one will be hard to explain, but if i'm cruising along at a steady speed & rpm, no acceleration, sometimes I feel an intermittent 'falter'. Like it loses power for a 'blip'. Doesn't happen during acceleration. Might also happen during deceleration without braking. Any ideas what might cause this?

6) I find myself stalling when taking off from a stop, in first gear, occasionally. I'd assume it's user error and not mention it, and it doesn't happen that often, but it'd never happened to me before on the other bikes I've ridden. It feels kind of random so I can't tie it to any technique other than noticing: if it's gonna happen, it'll probably be when I'm on an incline and dirt/gravel terrain. Is it just that I'm not used to the weight or might it reflect an adjustment that needs to be made?

Other than these lingering questions, it's been really nice. I'm still getting a feel for it obviously but it seems comfortable, stable, and good handling for what I'm doing with it. Mainly back roads, county roads, and state highways in a rural area.
