Re-setting the ECU is the solution to the high idle problem. I followed Peter Baron's procedure day-before-yesterday and rode the bike every day since. This morning's ride was the absolute best, mostly because there was no traffic and I could pay close attention to the instruments and the way the bike functioned. Basically, it idled at 1100 after it warmed up and the needle never moved from there every time I stopped. The bike ran flawlessly and like a new bike. I am so happy to have my bike back and I will tell everyone to re-set their ECU any time they have an idle problem. It may not be the answer to their problem, but it is so easy and quick that it should be the first thing on the trouble-shooting list when you have a problem.
And all this time I thought an ECU was an exotic bird in Australia.
I haven't been so happy since I found out I could wear shoes riding a naked bike.
Peter, I can't thank you enough. What is MPI and ATM? Sorry, but I am not familiar with these terms. I did enough research to learn that an ECU is not an exotic bird found in Australia, but can't figure these out.
My bike is running like a new bike. This morning's ride was perfect. 1100 RPM every time I rolled to a stop. Formerly, it would go right to 2,000.
As I said earlier, this procedure should be the first step anytime something weird starts happening on the CB1100. I cannot believe the Honda technicians don't try it first with all the people who have had this problem. It just seems like it should be first thing on their trouble-shooting list.
Sure is a lot cheaper than installing a new IACV and/or ECU.

Some vehicles are more or less sensitive, some are not at all.
Would like to hear your feedback after riding or driving for at least few drive cycles and several ignition cycles if permanently cured.
This is not a repair, but a simple reset without any special tool that anyone can do at home at no cost.
If a MPI component is defective and needs replacement this procedure is not a substitute but should be performed after.
At work, I use a special tool that can do this procedure within 10 - 30 seconds., for an engine or/and transmission.
