A lot of guys, myself included, switched to synthetic oil on first change with no ill effects. I did observe a rattle when I used a non-Honda oil but that's another story for another day. I'm running HP4S with no issues now.
Keep on enjoying the bike!
No kidding, even though Honda worked very hard to capture the vintage vibe of past CBs with the CB1100, the actual manufacturing of the bike is anything but retro.
