How to adjust the front forks on a 2013 CB1100 and a 2017 CB1100EX.

Michael, the 2013 bike has preload adjustment for the front forks, but they are not the dual bending valve forks that were introduced in 2017.

Hi, thanks for the info. I ordered the Honda Service manual for the 2017 and hope to get the stats I need from it. When I bought the 2013 CB last summer, the guy had the Honda Service Manual. It has helped tons. The 2017's will probably be as good. Hows the weather down there? We actually hit 34F yesterday, and for us, that is cold!

The weather’s OK at the moment, thanks. It seems almost ‘normal’ with daytime highs in the high 20s - low 30s Celsius and reasonable rainfall. Not enough rain where it matters though.
