Buying a CB1100 what am I changing first?

[max]

After 5 years it would be a good start to change the 2 brake fluid and 1 clutch fluid systems, ( should be done every 3 or so years ) brake fluid is hygroscopic which means it absorbs moisture from the air and that moisture then starts eating away your brake system from the inside, so if not already done so by the previous owner that would be a strategic move.

Also beware of k&n oil filters with a spot welded nut for "easy removal" of the filter, these have been known to break and conveniantly produce a lot of oil just where your rear wheel makes contact with the road, many video's on youtube on that subject and good;"i went on holiday and...." stories.

Each to their own but i wanted to change some things too but after a while just started to appreciate the bike just as it came out of the factory and changed nothing exept recently got a corbin seat for it which i use on the longer trips, recently drove for 9 hours and had zero issues as opposed to the (low) standard which gets uncomfortable after 2 hours for me.

Congratulations on the new bike.
