75,000 mile service
My 2013 CB1100 just turned 74,800 miles and for the winter I decided that it was time for some maintenance.

1) Fuel pump which really started to noticeably "whine" at 25,000 miles and which had degraded performance to the point where the motor was surging under load, needed attention. The Honda technician recommended replacing only the fuel filter, but since they can be replaced as a unit and I didn't consider that the filter was causing the annoying "whine", the pump/filter were replaced. The shop discounted $120.00 (or so they told me) for that unit for a cost of $448.00.

2) Original brake pads replaced (front 2 sets) $141.00, (rear set) $38.00

3) Fork seals $37.00

4 Hours labor @ $68.00 per hour = $272.00

Total including shop supplies = $963.63

All parts were OEM. The only other work I've had done on the bike were chain and sprockets at 54,000 miles. New air filter replacement at 50,000 mi. The valves were checked at 18,000 miles and within spec, no adjustments needed (I'll have them checked again at 100,000 miles). Original plugs are still in use. The bike runs great now and the annoying whine is gone.

I'm looking forward to ice-free roads and warmer weather next spring.

Happy New Year everyone!

$68/hour! I was going to say the same thing. It's $120/hour at the dealers around here.

Haystack, great job!

Wow over 50 K on chain and sprockets and air cleaner, and 75k on spark plugs. That's getting your moneys worth.

You may have the highest mileage CB on the board. Sanoke was another high mileage guy but haven't heard from him in awhile.

My local shop gets $95 an hour but usually gives me a little break.

Nothing wrong with keeping plugs longer.....
Based on my experience = 50Km/31Kmiles, the plugs may?? go upto 100Km/62Kmiles ....
But the issue is with trouble free removal (if never checked every 25Km/15Kmiles) at high km/mileage.
If seized up, these may break apart ( upon first removal), leaving threaded portion stuck in the cylinder head = no needed headache for any member.
So periodically check 'em out if keeping for longer time.
Usually, higher RPM = more frequent plug replacement...unless other issue..

Haystack, 75,000 miles on your CB - a man I respect. So many fickle folks chase the “ultimate” bike and trade every six months. A rare few ride for the sake of riding and realize a good solid bike (our CB) just deserves to be ridden and enjoyed.

Solid engineering too.

Guilty as charged.

This is precisely my goal. I want off the bike-swapping merry-go-round. The CB1100 seems like the perfect girl to settle down with and marry. Solid bones, eye-catching looks, easygoing personality, low-maintenance, dependable as can be....enduring appeal.

Now there's a proper recipe for living happily ever after.
