Hello.
I'm new here on the Forum. I'm from Sweden, Europe.
There seems to be a lot of knowledge and tips to be gained here!
My Honda is a CB1100 2017.
It now has 50.000 km. on the Odometer, and I need to change the chain and sprockets.
Is there anything special I should think about, especially with the front sprocket and clutch cylinder?
Best Regards Gunnar / Skansenvagen

Welcome to the forum, Skansenvagen. The chain and sprockets have lasted well.

Welcome to the forum, Skansenwagon.
It looks like you have a 2017EX with spoked wheels.
My sprockets, chain and #1 rubber damper set were both replaced at around 60K km with some wear.

I currently have 132k km and have never replaced the clutch slave cylinder.
When working on the front sprocket you will need to remove #26 three long M6x75 bolts which hold down the slave cylinder. Do not use a gun and torque them to specs.

Skansenwagon hello from New Zealand, doing my own maintenance i would advice to pay attention to the rear brake.
Take a few pictures from the side and notice the position of the brake caliper housing, it can be a bit of a puzzle to get the position correct, the housing slides over a square rail in the rear swingarm, this stops it from rotating when the brake is applied and also the brake shoes are a little peculiar to get in position and aligned on the disk.
i tend to spread the shoes out wide in order to make it easier to put back on the disk and do test the brake carefully after re-assembly.
Some have been known to have assembled this wrong, be aware.

The brake shoes do operate if the tabs on the shoes are not in the locked-in position but it will sound bad so be aware of this.
Also if the front sprocket has a rubber damper side replace it with like, otherwise there may be a constant "whine" as you ride the bike.
Your english is perfect, welcome to the club.

Hello again.
Thanks for the quick replies and good tips. I take note and add them to my logbook.
There was a little misunderstanding.( my English)
I don't need to replace the clutch cylinder.
The clutch cylinder is stuck and I don't know how much force I can use.
This is to get access to the front sprocket.
Have anyone had the similar problem?
Best Regards Gunnar

“The alternator clutch cover (stator) is magnetically attracted to the flywheel, be careful during installation” That from the service manual. (What out for your fingers when re-installing it).
That attraction makes it hard to get off. That and the Three Bond 1207B sealant on the mating surface.

Milord, I think the OP is talking about the cover over the front sprocket. There’s an outer cover and then you have to remove the slave cylinder and then an inner cover. It’s a while since I’ve taken it off. There are 3 bolts holding the slave cylinder in place and then a further two that hold the sprocket cover in place. I don’t recall the slave cylinder being too hard to remove.
