Why does this port have threaded insert?

windshield wiper. Stick a screw driver in it and twist it back and forth to clean the glass.

Never would have guessed that one - thanks.

I love telling people that when they ask.
You should see oil in it with the engine at rest, on the centrestand, to the upper mark.

I heard the new 2022 BMWs R1250GS will have a power wiper .......
Maybe not.

To be honest, I never bothered to turn the wiper because the glass was never polluted. The CB1100 is a well engineered machine.
However, inline-4s of my past I would sometimes see the looking glass have a sort of "white icing stain" on the inside of the view glass. No wiper back in those days.

Maybe not. Some of the functions of my ebike are operated from my phone using an app. It's the Space Age.

I have never seen any another motorcycle with a wiper, I like the idiosyncrasy of it. I wonder why the Honda Engineers decided to fit it if it was not emulating some part of its past?

At least some good news is I have not read about a CB1100 owner complaining that their wiper seal leaked.
