RE: CB1100 Idle speed instability problem

[E11even_Hunnit]

what is an eprom?

follow up question E11even.. given your age why didn't you buy a 600 supersport, (more in line with your age group) which would undoubtedly run more than 112 mph, and be much quicker as well, rather than an old man's retro UJM which everyone KNEW was over weight and under powered given the capabilities of today's manufacturers?

BTW when I was 27, I bought a new 1977 KZ1000 Kawasaki which had 85 hp, weighed about 550 pounds and had a 12.8 quarter mile time @ 103 mph (numbers sound familiar? lol) ...but at the time it was one of the most powerful bikes on the planet. Also at 27 I found out what the top speed was on every bike I rode lol.( It was rare to find that that would go more than 13 mph faster than a CB 1100 will go). So I understand the need to push the boundaries.

and yes my grand daughter is but a few years younger than you, and I took no offense.

600cc Supersport was actually my very first "street bike" at 21. She was fun until she wasn't, when she wasn't enough I had to upgrade in under a year to this beast.. the one and only vehicle I've bought brand new till today lol

Still wasn't enough as-is so I had to dump a few grand in upgrades to get her where I wanted, including a $1,700 Graves Titanium low mount system. The sound on this thing was out of this world

At this point she was more than enough power anyone would want/need, enough to make me sh*t my pants at times. Absolutely WONDERFUL bike.
For those wondering, 164MPH was the top speed I ever hit on the R1

We parted ways last November since I've been out West for a few years now and she was just sitting back home in FL. I was nearly depressed the day her new owner picked her up, even being 3,000 miles away

Sure I could've had it shipped, but quite frankly I didn't want to deal with the stress of owning these highly targeted bikes, also these NorCal freeways got so many potholes it just didn't make sense in my mind. Then you factor in your mortality awareness that inevitably comes with the years, which made me appreciate and look for other bikes that aren't geared to be be pushed 100% of the time in order to really shine.

All that being said I still have a craving for speed, and although the CB is a completely different beast, we all know it's capable of more
