CB1100 Idle speed instability problem
George, sorry I didn't see this earlier. I had the same problem with my 2013 and you may have already read my posts about it.
Order a new ECU (It's actually a PGM-FI Unit,part number 38770-MGC-A24).
Partzilla has the best price at about $500USD.
You can install it yourself. I did mine and it is not difficult. It lies under the fuel tank, so you'll want to run all your fuel out first.
I wasted about $700 getting a new IACV and having it installed with absolutely NO change in the problem.
Mine started with the low idle problem for a few weeks and then it went to the high idle. I tried a few things that worked briefly, but, since I installed the new ECU, it runs great.
Best wishes for a speedy and uneventful recovery.
George, a note to help you ride safely until you get this fixed. You can disconnect the Throttle Position Sensor on the side of the engine under your left knee. It is easy to disconnect and will make the "Check Engine" light on the dash come on, but your bike will run fine and not be a safety hazard this way. It is NOT a fix, but it should stop the stalling and erratic running.
