2013 Honda CB1100

[oldhippie1]

The dealer in Australia sent me a copy of the maintenance schedule. The valves are inspected every 8000 miles. I will try to put a link for this schedule later today. Cams only need pulled if the valve needs adjusted and I understand shim under bucket rarely need adjusted.

I do not understand why this didn't work.

I know, right?
That 4/4 exhaust looks great from this angle. The whole bike is a study in classic proportions.

Good eye.

Kind of funny, bikes like this used to come with 4 into 4 pipes and a centerstand, and you'd have to ditch the stand to change to an aftermarket 4 into 1.

Hopefully, the intake and exhaust valves will have a track record of staying within the spec; especially with what will be a relatively low'ish revving and under-stressed large displacement I4. Valve inspection is easy enough I suppose, but having to do cam pulls with those intervals would be a pain in the ass unworthy of a 2013 motorcycle. Wasn't motorcycle technology developing past this silliness? Hell, the new Duc engine has intervals longer than my Suzuki.

As soon as the dealer I've been speaking to gets back with a price, I will be.

I've put down some money on one.

Anyone interested in a 1999 Ducati Monster City?

Can't wait to see one of these chopped. hopefully Brat Style or Gravel Crew gets a hold of one soon.

It was an email with an attachment. I just clicked the top left of the page (URL I think) and clicked copy and went to the post and clicked paste. No one seams interested anyway so I'm done trying to help. I went to a lot of trouble contacting shops in Australia where this bike is now available to get this information. My dealer doesn't want a deposit until they can actually place an order. At that time I'll probably buy one. As I said they quoted $9300 out the door plus state sales tax. Already everyone want to change it. Bigger tank etc. Whats wrong with it like it is?
