Looks like he had a broken spoke or two. I can't read German..any other issues?
Looks like he uses Metzler Z8's and EBC pads.
Sorry to come back so late to your question
(I was on my next tour - 8 days, 9 countries, 3000km
)
In comparison to the tours, distances and regions I was riding I had only minor issues:
- 53,400 km: some idling problems (solved)
- 62,065 km: 13 valves had to be readjusted (and never again till now)
- 95,015 km: was the rear left wheel bearing defective
- 99.404 km: the starter switch was replaced
- 100.875 km: spokes were broken (rear wheel)
Everything else is still original:
- Engine
- Battery
- Clutch
- Gearbox
- …
And yes, I am using Metzeler Z8, EBC pads and D.I.D. chains
I am using the CB on (gravel) roads with a lot of luggage and my wife on the back seat. Overall, the CB 1100 EX is very good for touring
Unfortunately my website is in German. You may use google translate (even it is not a good translation):
