Most recently I've been having the high-idle issue (1500+ rpms). The mechanic at dealership believes replacing the EOT Sensor may fix the problem. I'm heading down the dealership tomorrow so they can replace the part.
Unplugging the EOT sensor will cure the problem, but then your "check engine" light and the engine temperature light will both be on. I replaced my EOT sensor and it did not cure the problem. BTY - it's a simple, 10 minute job to do it yourself.

Dave, I hear you, thanks. The bike is under warranty so I want Honda to work through the diagnostic / repair process otherwise I would just take a gamble and purchase and replace the part myself. I really like the CB1100 but these engine idle issues are the pits.

So it seems my bikes high-idle problem is gone since the EOT Sensor was replaced, I've ridden a little over 225 miles in the last couple of weeks, mostly short commutes on back roads with little to no traffic. The idle has been spot-on at 1050 rpm each and every time. The low-idle issue hasn't occurred recently either but then again that was always triggered when riding in heavy stop and go conditions. I guess only time will tell but I'm very happy with the way the bike is running now.
