How are the dilithium crystals Scottie? - Insolentsquid_imp - 07-29-2014
OK,
Now that a lot of users have put a lot of miles on our bike, any breakdowns, bits falling off, warp cores being ejected to report?

A little more than 3K on mine and zero problems. Love this bike more than any I've owned in the last 40 years. Perfect bike for an old curmudgeon like me. Only important change needed is a better seat. Leaning toward a Corbin.
Warp Speed Scotty.

The worst thing I've seen reported here was the corrosion issue a guy on Nantucket island had. Pitting in the engine finish, various rust breaking out. But that was an extreme case due to having to park the bike under 5' of salt water. Or something like that.

Purchased at the end of October, around 8,500 miles now. I had a tiny, little minuscule amount of oil mist out of the top of the engine, at the valve cover prior to the valve check at 8K. Ever so slightly tightening the closest top bolt solved that, haven't see a thing sense. I've got a 2 odd chips in the black engine paint. A slight speck of rust on the triple tree (I don't hesitate to ride in the rain). There's that one cable on the right side of the engine that I had to put some electrical tape on like many other people. I managed to smudge the plastic screen near the gas gauge. Maybe I set me helmet on it wrong, I don't know. TPretty easy bie to own and live with. The only downside has been the 8K valve check, that'll come up a lot.

If the CB1100 is true to the Honda heritage, I suspect this tread will died a quick death.
I put 98K on a 1985 CB700, and 78K on a 1992 CB750; both bikes were flawless for tens of thousands of miles.
Stop worrying and just go ride your CB1100 and enjoy it.

I'm a tick under 18,000 miles with a year and a month of riding on the bike (been down from the crash for over 2 months) and no complaints from me.

I've done 15,500 kms (the bike has done 17,500) and I've no complaints other than some rust unuder the true tree and on the oil cooler pipes.

Mine is approaching 6,500 miles and is still perfect. The only beef I had was that the front tire was bald before 6K miles. It seemed to have a relatively soft compound. Although others reported a lot more mileage, I think the extreme heat around here might have had something to do with it.

33500kms and had some rough treatment. No problems.

Great looking bike. In showroom condition. Unlike me.
Cheers
