There is more fine tuning possible. You might change the viscosity of the oil or even use a thicker or thinner oil. Look at Cst at 40° for the oil you use.
Oh yes. I was trying to avoid getting distracted on the damping side of things and focus purely on preload and how it changed the bikes geometry/steering. For a fixed damped bike my EX isn’t too bad.
Thankyou! The rear luggage rack is by Fehling. Along with my engine bars and pannier racks, it's nice kit. See www.fehling.de/en/product-category/motorcycle-brands/honda-en/
Very well said. Honda is absolutely wrong in their manual. It does not get harder or softer. It hangs higher or lower in the spring. The spring only compresses under weight.
Great video, a big help for me- nice simple explanation in a field prone to complexity chaos and confusion adjusting for tyre wear is Moto GP stuff 😂
ta very much
The Honda CB1100 is my favourite motorbike and in that red.
It’s a brilliant bike, not particularly versatile but then it was never meant to be all things. Just a great looking high quality roadster.
Awesome - changed a lot for me on driving fun 👍
Brilliant, glad it helped. When I first got this bike I though ooh erh? Now I'm happy as larry too :-)
Assuming the 2014 cb1100 has the same front end that was most helpful, thanks 😊
Thanks. It has a different front end but is preload adjustable so the same applies in terms of tuning that handling. 👍

Awesome vid and I have this in red and a 2017. Where can I buy that rear luggage tail rack? I have the other luggage rack but love the one you have

Hi Terence, where did you buy that back luggage rack? Thank you
It is a Fehling, a german crowd, good value too. www.fehling.de/en/

Yes, that drives me nuts!
