Fuel Injected 1983 CB1100F Prototype
After years in storage, Peter recently dug this mothballed project out of the garage and has resumed work on getting a reliable fuel injection system to work on one of his CB1100Fs. He's already resolved one of the issues he encountered years ago - excessive fuel pump current draw, and is now working on fine tuning the system. Considering that he just got back on the project, he's already made good progress. More updates to come as this gets closer to becoming reality.

This video really helped me on my 2003 Honda Gold Wing...many thanks
Cool project, hope we get more info. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video.
2020 z900..6k mi. Both fork seals leak...I don't do wheelies ..I'm just a canyon carver..no hoonigans. This seems to be a common defect..I love the bike,but may have to dump it,cause this is BS every 6k miles
That is unusual and would drive me nuts.
Can you provide me with a link as to where you purchased your pin vice? Thx
It's been many years since I bought it and can't remember exactly where, but you should be able find some on Amazon. Thanks
Thanks , very helpful to me :)
Is this the same cb1100 that you removed the engine? I would love a detail breakdown of mods on the bike
Yes it is. Mods included an 1123 big bore kit in the rebuilt engine, 2012 CBR600RR swingarm, 1992 VFR750F forks and calipers, new custom wiring harness, GPS speedo, digital tach, relocated battery box, new seat, superbike bars, and much more. It's a very fun bike to ride now.
Hey there I'm about to do the same as I have to rework the engine. I'll be making the same sort of support. Thanks a lot of the clear ideo this actually has been the best video I have found. I also run a channel where I am sharing all things abou tthe CB750f as I record my journey from rookie to hopefully a well all round mechanic one day. Thank you again for making this video !
You're very welcome and thanks for the kind words!
what kind of pens did you use for the tool to support the engine? @@tomscyclerecycling8242
What about a shaft drive bike? I've got a cb1000C to pull, I'm down to the shaft drive, any tips on how that come apart?
Sorry, I've never worked on a 1000C, so I don't have any words of advice for you.
@@tomscyclerecycling8242 well i think it's the same as a cb900c but i'll keep looking
So on my Aprilia sx125 the glass is broken and everybody told me i need a new rear brake master cylinder but it is expensive and i went to yt to see if its replacable and found this, you saved me 300€ man ❤
Awesome! Glad to hear that I helped!
Hi, would you possibly be able to advise how to replace the fork seals on a 1978 Malaguti Ronchino RC50? it has no oil drain bolt at the bottom and I'm at a loss for how to remove the fork from the stanchion, thanks
I'm not familiar with that bike, so I would have to do a little research or find the shop manual. Feel free to send some pics to my email address, which is tkerxhalli@yahoo.com.
@tomscyclerecycling8242 Thanks for your reply! I've since discovered they are a sealed unit so the whole thing will have to be replaced but I appreciate the offer
Very helpful, thanks a lot!
You're very welcome and I'm glad it helped!
Thank you Tom. I looked everywhere for a video addressing how to service standard damper forks, especially showing which way the seal goes. There's not much on the Internet and this is the only one with clear instructions.
Great video. My problem is that the inside of the fork is turning while i turn the allen head bolt at the bottom with my ratchet. i m hoping that a friends electric impact wrench will undo it.
Gotten through 2 of your videos now and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
I have a drive way full of bikes I bought each family member through the last 50 years; and ended up with each of them back when they could get them running again; a new guy moved in across the street and cannot get that steel spacer tube pressed back inside; after installing the spring and washer. I do not remember ever having the same issue when changing out different length front fork tubes to adjust handling / cornering; but it has been 1 1/2 to over 2 decades since I have done this task. Any Idea why he is having this problem; I gave him four different shop service manuals for various bikes; but figured the shop service manuals I had for my track bike; a 2009 Buell 1125R to get a general idea. His steel tubes like the one you put in during this video; is a good 8 - 10" long, and no matter how hard or how big of a guy tries; it still sticks out a good 4 - 6", and there is no chance of putting the top cap nut on it; something isn't right; however, I have never owned a 2001 Yamaha V-Star 650cc bike before. Addendum: It has been since 1986 when I replaced my front tube's with 4" over forks on my 1st new HD 1100cc Sportster Custom while stationed in Germany; and 15 years since I put 2" over front fork tube on my second new 1999 HD Softail Night Train, ( Which I still ride today ), when not toting around ole girl on a 2011 HD Road Glide Ultra. Any insights would be appreciated; the good new story is; I told him; it is only difficult the first time .. lol, like most every thing.
Like Jerry W Davis mentions (2 years ago) how to do you properly remove the caliper from the bike? and how to do so without spilling brake fluid everywhere?
It's best to use a syringe to empty the master cylinder of all the fluid and with the bleeders open (and a clear tube over the bleeder going into a jar) pump out the remaining fluid that's in the lines and calipers. Then carefully loosen the banjo bolt and have a rag ready to wrap around the brake hose. It's going to want to drip, so use a piece of duct tape to hold the rag around the banjo fitting. Up above, make sure to have a damp towel covering the tank and anything else that you might accidently drip fluid on when you drain the master cylinder.
I always felt the folks who ask why lack any imagination. There are so many questions to ask here and then you get a why? WTF? 😳
I noticed Peter using the choke once the bike was running. What is it connected to?
Why?
@po18guy Don't be a dick. I own 3 80s honda sport bikes and I'm trying to understand what is trying to be accomplished. Is he going for performance benefits? Or just butchering a classic because he's curious if it will work.
Once it's set up and working as intended, it will start faster, won't have the typical cold start issues after sitting for a few weeks, and will probably make a little more power.
Thank you for showing us this Tom! - a sturdy jack on wheels with a special adapter and having a second set of hands surely makes this job a lot more managable 👍 I also made a special adaptor plate for my jack last time I installed the engine in my CB1000C. Next week my son and I are installing the engine in his CB750F 😊 BTW your bike builds are work of arts!!!
Great vid!!
Tom you need to do more videos. Too bad you didn't make one on the engine rebuild. Would have made a nice series of videos.
Hi Chris. Now that I'm retired, I plan to get more videos done much sooner. An engine rebuild video is a distinct possibility in the future, so stay tuned!
Love them ol bike's. Wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze?
Absolutely worth it. 10 minutes on one of my 1123 resto-mods and you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face.
@@tomscyclerecycling8242 I am a believer. So what would be the top end on one of your rocket ships? My ZX1100 does 176 at least that's when I let off of her. Not sure if she had more but I was getting close to town and didn't wanna go to jail.
@@rickyhaycraft2513 I have no idea. It's been to 120 with lots of throttle left, but that was as fast as I dare go in this neck of the woods.
@@tomscyclerecycling8242 Dare More !!! 🤣🤣
Beautiful bike, and good explanation
Thanks!
Very cool, Tom. Love those hondas
This is the only video I’ve seen anywhere that mentions cleaning the pressure release hole. Thank you for the video and guitar string idea.
Glad to hear that my video helped! Thanks!
@@tomscyclerecycling8242 The front brake on my 1993 FXLR has been dragging really bad and I’d have to stop and loosen the bleeder to relieve pressure. I followed your instructions and pulled the handle looking for an air bubble from the pressure release hole and got nothing. Then using a guitar string (g string to be exact) I cleaned out the pressure release hole and pulled on the handle. It might sound strange but I’m happy to say I was squirted with brake fluid. I was thinking I need to take it apart and rebuild but I think it’s good now. Great video, sir.
Hi Tom would you have any idea where I can obtain new sitre glass for a BMW R850R 97 Model. I am in Australia and cannot find here? Regards Chris Rogers
This helped explain the fork assembly/seal removal a little more for me as I'm doing my Honda cm450 fork seals with no previous experience. THANK you for making a clean cut video and explaining what you have!
I'm glad it helped - it's my pleasure!
Great video. I appreciated your teaching method; straight-forward, knowledgeable, clear and concise. Cheers.
Thanks very much - your kind words mean a lot.
Can I send both my clutch and brake to be redone? 2006 Honda VFR800i. If not where can I get the parts to try it!
Please email me a tomk1960@yahoo.com and we can discuss in more detail. Thanks.
Motorcycles are often different. There are pistons that are opposed. A BIG cable tie is useful to hold back the piston that moves first.
Hey Tom, how would I remove plunger if frozen in the front master cylinder.
Hi Erik. Connect it to another master cylinder through the banjo hole and you will be able to pump it out. I just had to do this the other day with one that I'm restoring for a customer. Just make sure that the snap ring is out and that the plunger is pointing away from you!
Holy crap- I hope you didn't pay for these runs. At first I thought the clutch was slipping until I realized the idiot didn't have the back strapped down. And his technique with the RPM and getting a clean run was shit as well. Complete ass hat amateur.
Thank you!
Just about to start my first fork rebuild. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge!
Hi,can I ask,which. way does spring go in,black cap first or open spring first,thanks
The wider end of the spring goes in first, with the rubber cap/seal in the narrow end. You'll see a hole in the steel cap on the narrow end. That lines up with the little rubber nub on the inside of the seal.
**PERFECT**
A very easy listen of how to do seals. Excellent
Thanks!
Where do you buy the glass from ?
I have a private source that makes them for me.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Iam sankar iadian mechanical work your number please
Thank you great video
I make this guide and works! ruclips.net/video/pv57pAstgfc/видео.html
Tom, good video, From experience , sometimes it is very difficult to undo the lower allen key bolts, I like to try and crack the loose while still under tension before removing forks from the bike. Also a mention that be very careful to not cross thread the upper screw caps as they have a very fine thread.
Thanks for the great video Tom. I believe I am looking at an engine removal on my 83 1100F. The Primary dampers seem to be getting brittle and are making the familiar "clunking" noise. Wish there were an easier way to replace them other than splitting the cases. Honestly, I dread the thought.....
Glad you found my video helpful, John. I know how you feel as it's a daunting task. Take advantage of the situation and address anything else that looks questionable while you're in there. Best of luck!
Thanks for this and also your stunning performances in The Apostle and Tender Mercies.
Hahaha, so funny! Thanks, and glad you enjoy my movies!
Thank you
