Have you been to any altitude yet? I just came from Colorado and thought I might make a trip out there, but wondered if the computer would adjust the fuel mixture for the up to 12,000 ft altitude?

Altitude is not a problem. I spent a week riding around Colorado and climbed passes up to 12,100 ft. with no issues.

Having crossed many of those same passes on old bikes with common slide carbs, the difference is like night and day.

At higher altitudes you'll notice that you don't have quite as much power due to the lower air density, but the CB11 still has plenty of reserve power for a comfortable ride.

Thanks for the info! Winding canyon and mountain roads, can't wait!

I'm a firm believer that altitude is the best way to over summer heat ;-)
