Hi
Does anybody know if the valve clearances are the same for the cb1100ex (2017 onwards) and the older model.
Mine is coming up to the 8000 miles mark now and looking at the forum information it looks alot harder than on my bandit 600. As there is no workshop manual for this bike I would be greatful for any information.

There is a combined 2103 to 2017 Honda workshop manual , personally I would not worry about the valve clearance for another 8000 miles.

Are your valves already excessively noisy?

I have a 2017MY too but unfortunately I don't have those values, sorry. The first valve service is not due until 12K miles though so I would leave it until you get closer.

Appy, a workshop manual is available from Helm Inc, [url=https://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.asp?Style=helm&Mfg=AHC&Make=AHC&Model=CB05&Year=&Category=&Keyword=&Module=&selected%5Fmedia=]here. Check the total price carefully. As I recall the cost of shipping from the US is diabolical.

I don't think they cover the 2017MY and on, just 2013-2017.

What is the CB1100 MY ? The manual covers the 2017 RS model.

It’s not clear to me that there is anything other than cosmetic change from 2017. I could, of course, be wrong.

Somewhere in this forum a 2017 owner posted pics of his service schedule from his manual with 12K miles in it, found it here:
