  Lower Cover instrument panel
Posted by: linuxology_imp - 10-30-2016, 03:38 AM - Forum: Mechanical & Technical - Replies (5)

All:

Cracked the lower cover instrument panel due to a drop. i need to take it off and was wondering if anyone had the steps to do so? yeah i know my posts are always something negative, but they are self induced and nothing to do with the bike but my own mishaps. so many positives about this bike and I am probably not worthy of it due to my posts, but i am human after all. any help is appreciated.

  Really enjoying the rides on my CB1100
Posted by: venturer434_imp - 10-28-2016, 11:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (18)

So I got the 2014 CB1100 back in May 2016 (Brand New) and have been clocking a few short miles on the weekends as time permits.. . This is my first inline 4 motorcycle..I have a couple of twin motorcycles....I finally started taking the CB for 100 mile return trip rides and the bike feels so much in harmony.. Just enjoying the bikes handling / comfort /ride quality .. could not have asked for a better bike

Qualifying is also on goofy hours, 2 AM tonight but they are replaying it at like 9 AM tomorrow morning

  Keis Heated Gloves and Jacket
Posted by: beardyweirdy@me.com_imp - 10-28-2016, 08:28 AM - Forum: Riding Gear - Replies (3)

I bought my Keis Heated jacket in spring and got one wear of it before the summer came. Well, autumn is here now and I was due a 8-10h ride over 2 days to see the olds. It isn't freezing by any means but a 5h stint on the motorway, in the eve, can get a bit nippy. I've recently sold my Africa Twin and while I wait for the replacement Versys, I had no choice but to take the naked CB1100. With no heated grips fitted I knicked the girlfriends Keis 800i heated gloves as well, just to try out.

What a joy! As soon as the sun set I popped on the heating and it's like riding in the sunshine. Apart from the wind blast it made the CB a real winter touring contender. And actually, after the screen on the AT tossing my head around in the turbulence, the clean, constant air on the CB was a real pleasure. Not half as bad as I was fearing.

I can't praise the Keis heated clothing I have, enough. I bought myself a pair of the gloves, today. Expensive but as with all good gear worth it if you use it.

  10,000-mile ECU "auto-remap"?
Posted by: Ulvetanna_imp - 10-28-2016, 12:47 AM - Forum: Mechanical & Technical - Replies (11)

I was coming home from a pretty long, hard ride yesterday afternoon, and hit one of favorite winding roads heading home. I noted that for some reason, the bike felt noticeably stronger everywhere, especially in the low and midrange. The weather was a few degrees cooler, but very humid, so I dismissed the temperature and humidity (high humidity robs power anyway).

Then it occurred to me I had probably turned over 10K on the odometer at some point during the ride; I have been reliably informed that in modern vehicles, the ECU is programmed to open up performance at certain benchmarks. Sure enough, the odometer read 10,055 when I checked.

I know that with BMW as well as other marques, there is a timing retard and restriction on the rev limiter until the first service is completed. I noticed a significant power increase on my GS after picking it up from the dealer and was told the ECU'd been reflashed.

My Chevy dealer told me that the new cars "learn" how you drive and adjust accelerator response and shift points accordingly. I loaned my car to a friend who drove pretty sedately, and when she gave me the car back, it felt rather slow. After some time, it started gaining response again.

I think it's entirely possible that Honda, one of the world's most advanced automotive manufacturers, has included these types of features in the CB1100's ECU; it makes even more sense for an air-cooled bike, which really needs to be broken in over the long term. I know that with air-cooled BMW boxer engines, they were never considered broken-in until at least 15,000 miles.

If not an ECU thing, then maybe a break-in thing; maybe everything's just come together finally.

You guys with over 10K, how are your bikes running? Strong? Do you feel your bikes got stronger over time?
