Advice please--maintenance on new to me CB

[LucienLeFranc]

My very new to me '14 DX has 11k miles.  The exterior is pristine, and--if a $$$$wiss watch was a motorcycle--it would sound like this.  Brakes, clutch, shifting,  steering--smooth as butter.

I didn't get the maintenance records with the bike (dumb), but the previous owner is an older car and motorcycle collector, and the original owner before that worked at the dealership, so I'm almost completely certain that  the maintenance schedule had been followed.

The 8K service was probably done three or maybe five or more years ago? 

I'm inclined to ride it as is until 12k, inspect everything per the 8k schedule along with performing the 12k maintenance at that time.

Good plan?

Thoughts and advice regarding any specicific parts of the bike to check immediately instead of waiting?

If it is so good as you stated, this is what I would do if this bike were mine:

Change oil/synthetic and filter/oem
Check both tires and if 8-10 yo = replace them with Metzeler, T32/T33 or Angel GT or combination if you want OEM size 110-front and 140 rear
Brake/2 and cluch fluids flush
Check air filter, brake pads
General/visual  inspection... and fix accoriangly

I had three CBs, 2013/sold, 2014/sold and still have my DLX.
Total ridden/all 3 = 285k kms , never failed or was stranded, once ran out of fuel 
I do my cars and bikes ++  maintenance myself, except bike's tire replacement

Your bike is like mine, 2014, 11400 miles. I got new tires 2-3 years ago.

Just today I put in new spark plugs, besides any miles, I don’t like them sitting in place for 10+ years. The actual tips didn’t look too bad, fairly minor discoloration. The metal body was slightly corroded & tarnished. A few years ago I inspected the 2 outer plugs the added the anti-seize.

Just a few things of note, I did watch a video then read about the process. The gas tank removal wasn’t too bad. I ended up attaching a small rope around the fuel line to disconnect, to a secure object. This allowed me to pull on the tank while I squeezed the clip to unfasten the line. I think I saw the method on a video.

More importantly, there was a few small stones & other particles around the base of the plugs. It doesn’t take much over the course of 10 years. I used dental picks, blown air, and a shop vac to clean the area before plug removal. I took more time doing so than I imagine the average shop would do, yeah, maybe they’d be faster, more efficient. I think that’s the main reason for tank removal, clean around the plugs.

Things went back together more smoothly. I think in general, the CB-1100 is a great bike requiring just modest maintenance.

Any chance you could post a link to the video, widude?

I agree with Peterbaron's comments. Oil/filter, fluid flush, check everything, replace old tires. (or don't replace. I'm not doing a good job on the tire thing...)
