CB1100 Idle speed instability problem
(08-12-2017, 02:58 AM)12milesout_imp Wrote: I guess I'll hop on the wagon.

2014 Standard, ~5000 miles,
K&N, Yoshi RSCV, Power Commander V

Idles fine at start up. After riding long enough to heat up, when i come to a stop/light the idle seems to be searching. It will drop to ~800, then climb back up to ~1050, then drop back to ~800, etc. It hasn't stalled at all, and responds normally to throttle input. It's never done the 1500 jump that others seem to have experienced.

Suggestions?

I'll jump back on too. My issue went away for a while but has come back to annoy me even more.

I don't have the hi/low idle, just low idle that creeps back up to normal. Now on every ride it will drop idle to about 500-700 and creep up, it has only shut off on me twice. I have taken some video to show the service techs so they don't think I am trying to BS them.

I'm only at about 6,000 miles and I first noticed it at 500 miles but it was only once in a while. Now happens every ride, but goes away for a while if I shut it down and restart it. Gas, temperature, riding style, or distance don't seem to be a factor. I love the bike but am not happy reading about the issues with no resolution from Honda.

Sorry for the small rant, just had to vent a little bit.
