Did my first oil change today and I have to say this is one of the easiest bikes to work on. A few minutes on the lift and done. Took exactly 4 qts of Honda Pro Synthetic 10W/30. Everything on this bike seems well thought out.

I did not do anything to my CB today but study it. And take a few measurements.
Looks like I will be adding a set of LED's to the SW Motech engine guards. I think that will be a good place to put them.

Today my TSR air funnel arrived, I installed it and went for a ride. I am still waiting for my Arrow muffler. Today was the first time I got to ride it since installing the PCV, it is like a different bike.

Replaced the left crankcase cover today. Scratched it the other day when I dropped it. No major damage just my pride and a few gouges on the cover. Changed the oil and filter while I was at it. You lose about a cup of oil when you pull it off. I will tell you that stator has a heck of a pull. Didn't need to take the starter off as per the service manual. Would of made it easier. Couldn't find any 3 bond 1207b, so I used Permatex Ulta Grey. Everything appears to be working just fine. Used honda gen4 10w-30 and honda oil filter. You guys were right, the filter was on tight. Took it off with channel locks.

I rode it today.
It's been so damn cold and we have had the most amount of snow since the winter of '25-'26 that I have not been out on it since November. It was 38 degrees and the sun & wind had dried the main roads enough to ride safely. Just rode around the city for a while. Felt good. Saw one other rider on a sportster.

Hey Ferret,
The bike with the TSR air funnel, K&N and PCV reminds me of my ZRX. I was hoping the Arrow exhaust would have been delivered by now, but with this nice weather I decided to ride it with the stock exhaust.
It seems to start easier and idle smoother. It makes a very nice intake sound on both acceleration and deceleration. If you revit at idle, it seems to spin up much faster, like it has a lightened flywheel.
The bike pulls hard all the way to redline. I have never redlined this bike until today. It runs the way it should. I can't wait for the exhaust tom be delivered.
Up until this morning I was considering adding another bike. I have a friend who wants to sell a 2010 Duc Monster 1100 and I was also looking at a Suzuki B-King. I have previously owned a ZRX and a ZX12 and felt I was missing out with the CB11. After my ride today, I no longer feel like the CB is not powerful enough.

60 degrees finally!!
So called up my brother from another mother Big John. He broke out the wing and we did about 75 miles, enjoyed the wind and had a nice fish dinner down by the river. Boy was that needed!
