RE: Getting my CB as a birthday present! - the Ferret - 10-02-2024
If you plan on riding long distance just be aware that droning exhaust noise can be very tiring (learned that lesson on a Suzuki GS 1100 ES with Vance and Hines pipe) and also upswept aftermarket exhausts have been known to burn holes in the bottom of saddlebags when too close.
At 19,000 miles I would be checking brakes pads and make sure the brake & clutch fluids had been changed. The sprockets and chain should be good for another 15,000 miles if the chain hasn't been neglected. I replace the spark plugs and air cleaner every 25,000 miles. Battery every 4 years. Oil/oil filter every 4,000 miles.

Thanks Ferret!
Is there any access to a Factory service manual, or repair manual of any kind for this bike that the forum has access to?
Also just got confirmation this bike already has RLETs on it. Now I know nothing will go wrong

No service manual online that I am aware of.
If you give us the last 4 digits of the serial number Cormanus may be able to tell you who the previous owner was. Not sure many outside of the forum installed Rlets.

Magna, have a look at this link for the service manual

Just from watching videos of others, seems like its very quiet stock and I'd like just a lil bit more.
Also, any things I should be looking for before purchase of this bike? 2014 CB1100 with 19000 miles on it.
Dealership has done there mechanical inspections and everything seems good as well as a DOT inspection.
Comes with 3 hard bags for the rear which idk why they don't have that pictured, that was a big reason for getting this bike so I can do longer trips with the added cargo space.
Old video....but if you want to hear what the bike sounds like with an exhaust-

Thanks for the manual and other helpful responses!
Tomorrow is the big day, super excited! I was talking with the sales rep and I guess I was mistaken, looks like the bike already has what appears to be a full arrow exhaust? I think?
Here is the link for the bike, I'll take more pictures of it when I see it in person. For those more experienced with these bikes, anything else appear aftermarket on this bike?

That's an Arrow slip on. It doesn't look like the Arrow headers.
Let's see here....the luggage rack is of course aftermarket. the Horn covers are aftermarket. The bar ends are aftermarket. chrome gauge covers are aftermarket. There's highway pegs installed....that's aftermarket. Something's up with the passenger pegs too. they also look aftermarket. Looks like an LED headlight and aftermarket bracket are installed. maybe a headlight swap from a newer model? not sure.
the tires on the other hand are straight stock BT54's.....i would swap those right away if i were you.

Looks like aftermarket bar risers as well.
case guards
missing rear reflectors
The left Rlet looks either ground off or ripped
RE: Getting my CB as a birthday present! - MagnaRider - 10-03-2024
Wow, I'm surprised there is that much aftermarket stuff on there! Definitely gonna have to fix that left RLET!
Thanks for the quick replies, been feeling welcomed into a new bike community as I'm coming from the V4Musclebike forum

people do tend to put tons and tons of stuff on these bikes. it's kind of a "PLATFORM" bike so it's common to drag it through the catalog.
