Just an update...
I just rolled 30,000 miles on my '13 CB1100 this PM on a 275-mile day.
Fourth rear tire @ 27,500 mi. (three replacements)
Third front tire @ 27,500 mi. (two replacements)
48+ mpg (over 50 mpg at 65 mph, 46 or so at 80) I've used fuel ranging from 85 octane to 91 octane and I can tell no difference in performance, but 87 "seems" to yield the best mileage. I don't keep meticulous fuel consumption records, BTW. I just fill 'er up and ride.
Chain adjust indicator just now in the green, should go to 50,000 mi. (I'll let you know) I use teflon oil from a spray can.
GN4 10-30 oil every 4,000 miles post break-in w/ Fram 6017A oil filter ($5.88 at the W-Mart)
Original air filter (looks new).
Corbin seat @ 8,000 mi. TourMaster soft saddle bags always, trunk bag on trips. Closet, kitchen and garage in the saddle bags, bedroom and bathroom/medicine chest in the trunk.
Longest day >800 mi.
The bike really seemed to "settle in" or "break in" at about 25,000 miles. Always starts/runs...yawn.
Louder fuel pump whine just started today. Anybody know what that means?
Later
