Hello Everyone,
I am a newbie to the world of CB1100s and recently bought a new 2017 CB1100EX and have a few questions that the manual cannot answer. I have owned lots of motorcycles but this is my first chain drive. The chain maintenance is a bit scary, but I want to learn so that basic motorcycle maintenance is not daunting anymore.
Here are my questions...
1. I have only 200 miles on my bike. Do new chains stretch out fast and require adjusting this fast? Should I adjust already?
2. What is the difference between the CB1100CA and the CB1100NA? They have different torques in the manual and it does not specify which bike I have.
3. What is the easiest technique for getting the bike onto the center stand?
I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!
