Hi all, tried a few searches but no luck...bought a '16 CB1100A and the owners manual is MIA. Tried Ebay, etc, but no luck there either, any suggestions where I could acquire an actual owners manual or at least a .pdf ?
Thanks, Jim

The only electronic versions we know of are here, http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15973. There’s not a 2016 version, but you’ll probably find the 2013 manual useful for most things.

Will the 2017 model year Owner's Manual do? Not a perfect fit, but is here:

Maybe between the 2010/13 and '17 all ground is covered.
I would likely lean towards the older 2010/13 manual.

Yea, I agree, I think there were some changes, perhaps pertinent, perhaps not...in the '17 model year.
But it is almost like the '16 is the Honda 'Stepchild'...no love.

Welcome Jakfrost!!
Backseat  Actually, remove seat and it (should be) in a plastic bag on the bottom of the seat pan. If you don’t know how to get the seat off. Its in the manual which is, well, under the seat
If not, I think a ‘14 manual would be better than a ‘13 as there are differences. Especially with the “dash”. The ‘14 and up models have a gear indicator and miles to go for gas, etc.

While they were produced in 2016, they were essentially a 2014 bike in different livery. Outside Japan and maybe Taiwan, Canada was the only place we’re aware of that got them. Who knows why?
I agree with Lord Popgun that he 2014 manual would be best, but I’ve never found a PDF of it.

Helm says they are out of stock but will order one on back order. I don’t know how long that takes.
Jakfrost, Helm is the official source for Honda manuals, although the dealer can order them too, and them come from Helm.
