Today I changed the oil and oil filters on my three CB 1100 's
One thing what has puzzled me the last 5 years is the high torque value on the filter ( 19 lbf-ft)
I had the same filter and oil filter boss on my CB 1000's and Honda advised only 9 lbf-ft !
The treads on the filter and boss are identical on both CB 1000 and the CB 1100 but why the difference in torque ?
Is water cooled/ oil cooled the difference ?
I only torqued them this time to 15 instead of 19.
Could it be a "print" mistake in the manuals ?
