Adjusting Drive Chain | Honda CB1100 

Nice!! Congrats!! Happy riding 🙌

CB110, a very small version of the CB1100?

Thanks for that Jeff! Thought it was something like that.

Appreciate that! Happy riding!

@@phillyjaybro Follow up: I measured my chain last night and it was at 50mm. Not toooo bad, but clearly out of spec. I adjusted the rear and got the spec to about 30mm. Cleaned and lubed the chain too. Thanks!

Epic!! Yea I’m about to do mine again as it’s gotten a bit loose since my last tighten.

You must not have watched!

@@phillyjaybro brother, I did watch it. The only problem is that you rolled the wheel forward pulling the wheel forward yes, but putting the functional slack on the other side of the chain. I hope I explained that in a way you understand. I didn't mean any disrespect at all, I love the fact that you have a channel dedicated to informing riders for $0 other than ad revenue. Keep going dude. 💪 I was just trying to add to the specificity, that when I worked for Factory KTM we were taught the other way

Ahh!! No way! Haha I had no idea. I thought you were just suggesting to use the rag.. Thanks for the tip!! I guess the way I did it doesn’t do anything then 😂

😂😂😂

Yea had to throw on the stock ones since I was riding a lot more and comfort was definitley not there haha. Epic! Thanks for sending! That’s exactly what I need 🤘🏼

Thanks again for recommending these! Just got them in today looking forward to installing 🤘🏼

Hey Matt, I just keep the center stand in the garage so I can throw the bike up when I need to do maintenance. I just slide the center stand into place, sometimes with a small bolt to keep the axel from sliding out, and sometimes I don’t even do that as it seems to be sturdy for just pushing the bike up.

Hey Jose! Only the Deluxe/EX model has ABS mine does not.

I have a CB in fort myers

Hey Hung, I have not changed my brake rotor. I did a quick look and also didn’t see anything readily available. Have you checked with Honda directly? I would assume they have them in stock, just maybe a bit pricey

@@phillyjaybro Thank you so much Philly, look like i need to step by the Honda Dealer, it will be a bit pricey kaka. Have a nice one man.

@@phantienhung93 Haha no problem! Let me know how much it was!

Hung, I strongly recommend going to the Honda dealer and getting parts from them. I would stay away from any parts made in China, particularly brake parts. Brakes are the most important safety item on the bike, why take a risk?

I have not. I'm just over 6,000 currently. I've read a lot of threads about that though and most people never needed adjusting on their 8k check so could always give her some more miles if you're looking to hold out!

I'm at 13k on my CB1100 and the bike seems to run fine. Haven't had it checked yet.

@@LA_Commander My CB has run 72.000km without a valve check. It runs fine. It's up to you, if you want to take the risk or not. I take it.

@@peterweise3836 Sounds good Peter. I have 14,000 miles on my CB now and just changed the oil. She runs great. I checked the spark plugs and they look fine as well. Not going to replace them until at least 20k miles.

I just had my 14 Deluxe in for tire mounting. And for what it's worth, I asked my mechanic about the valve clearance check. He said "honestly with these CB's, if its not showing signs of valve issues, I wouldn't bother checking them until over 20K."

Thanks for the tip!

Good looks! Thanks for the tip J E!

No, you are wrong. CB1100 manual says that you should check slack when bike is on its center stand (page 78)

Definitley not a mechanic!
