Hello,
i still haven´t got a CB1100 ( hope, i can purchase one this autumn, so excuse me for making proposals), but i´ve read a lot about it. When i found the problem-theads people had about strange sounds and the solutions they discovered, many times the brotherhood of CB1100 riders asked them for sound files or pointed them to threads where sound files were provided. Sometimes the problem was the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV), maybe the wrong oil, the crank, valves, whatever. Others ride their bike and don't know, if there are some strange things happening in the engine because they have no comparison. Me, for my part, if i (hopefully) purchase the CB1100EX (it´s already getting colder), would like to know, how a healthy motor sounds, but i will not know because i have no comparison.
On the other side, there are numerous threads about noises from the CB1100 and often, there are also solutions, but they are spreaded all over the forum and are hard to find, so maybe it would be helpful to provide a sound library for the CB1100 with "strange" (or normal) sounds and their presumably solutions? (It would be not a big deal, just a new thread with the gathered sounds and the solutions the owners discovered)
The sound files should be recorded in a roughly standardized manner, and the supposed solution (or the possible solution, nothing more) so if someone would have a problem, he could search the sound library for a similar sound to have a first guess what could be wrong. Maybe this would be a help in recognizing and finding problems.
regards
