So happy with my EX (the riding as much as working on it) that I do consider buying another CB1100, ideally the cheapest I can lay my hands on. This would most likely be a high mileage model from 2013 or 2014. But since I have seen quite a few problem reports - problems the later EX does not have, a little caution seems appropriate.
I am thinking of those ECU problems, high idle, etc. But the truth is I do know to little about it. Do these problems affect all early CB1100, or only a small number ? Are there other problems a buyer should be wary of ? Are there known cures ? is it just a matter of throwing money at the problem ? I am not talking about anything easily visible in a pre-buy, like chrome, or header pipes. Rather any serious problems known and harder to fix.
If this subject has been discussed in an older (and hard to find) thread, could you please point me in the right direction ?
This might also be interesting for other buyers who know about our forum, but have not yet bought their CB.
