Hello guys, I just got back from a long trip with the CB1100, I have equipped the bike with side brackets and rear trunk, tank bag with a total of seventy kilograms of bagagli.Sono left Italy through Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway, Nordkapp coming with a total of 8300 km in eleven days. At the start I replaced oil filter and oil using the gradation of 10W50. The bike went very well no oil consumption to ritorno.Ho only had one problem ..... if it can be defined, the tires are flattened because of too much straight road but I'll change before possibile.Sono very happy with the cb 1100 models party that had 465 km and came back with about 8800 km, I lubricated the chain with spray grease every 500 km, the chain is in excellent condition, I adjusted a little and I changed the oil using a 15w40 and doing another 300 miles. What can I say .... if you destroy the engine after a few kilometers why not use the oil that Honda recommends mom, it means that its motors are not good ..... but I think, indeed I am sure that is so.
I do not spend much money for the oil, I look at the specs and if they are for gasoline and diesel engines use them without fear and I have never had any problem with the motors and clutches of the Japanese bikes, even after fifteen years and over fifty thousand km, I think that if you use the clutch ..... well you may take much longer.
I change oil often even if I made a few km, perhaps for this reason I have never had any problems....
