CB1100 Idle speed instability problem
John, I can certainly sympathize, believe me I want everyone's experience to be great with their CBs.

I am currently going thru the two main threads on this issue and compiling a list. Just finished the first thread ( 15 pages starting in 1/2016) and about to tackle this one.

So far there are 6 in the USA (counting yours), 1 from Germany, 1 from Canada, 1 from Taiwan, 1 from Thailand, and 1 from the UK (11 total) and as I said above fixes ranged from IACV replacement, to battery replacement, to ECU replacement or reset, to high speed running/ track day. It should also be noted that the cure for some, were tried and did not work for others with the same issue.

After a shower I will finish up doing this longer thread, and report back. Many of the posters in the original thread are the same posters in this 39 page thread, and many offering advise and possible cures are the same people as well. At any rate, I'm going thru them post by post, reading every one, and writing down who, when, what, where and why.

Note that I have never denied there is an issue, there obviously is with some bikes. Would love to find out what the issue is so we can make educated recommendations to anyone who has the issue crop up, but it is so rare and cures so different, at this point we are target shooting at night with no moon. IOW we can't see clearly what the target is or how to hit it.

More to come.
