Cormanus, Popgunm, Kmoney and Jedd, Thanks for your replies.
HONDA Taiwan established the “HONDA Taiwan Motorcycle” in Apr’15; it means a lot of CB1100s were from parallel import trader.
The “dealer” in my previous posts means the parallel import trader, not “HONDA Taiwan dealer”, sorry for the confusing.
This case is in parallel import trader, and this bike is under trader’s warranty. Bike owner did not allow seeing technician’s actions during troubleshooting, we have no idea what has been replaced exactly.
A lot of owners are so care about this idle problem; it is not “cheap” troubleshooting, if the whole “Throttle Valve Assy.” is the root cause once bike is out of warranty. Some owners suggest that HONDA shall identify the root cause then recall the bikes!
As I mentioned that several CB1100 got idle speed unstable problem, and these bikes are pretty new (less than few thousands mileage); and I assumed the failure part is idle motor; how come this motor died so quickly? Defect parts?
Another guess, is it possible that the root cause is the “carbon deposit” on the motor?
