  5. Hi, my bike has been sold, thank you for your interest!
  6. Hey buddies, I'm selling my bike. It's a good one, so if you know anyone who's interested, please get them to whatsapp. https://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php/514591-***-Great-Condition-2001-ST1100Y-For-Sale-***?p=8461297#post8461297
  7. About the Bike: When I was shopping for an ST1100, I searched for 5 months before I found this gem. I think I viewed about 6 others before it. Still remember my excitement and rushing to get cash to place a deposit for it quickly, because I knew it would be snatched up if I didn't. The overall mechanical condition of this bike is superb for its age. It just feels beautiful. The engine is butter smooth, and cruising at 120-130km/h on it feels like 70km/h on other bikes I've owned, not just because of the super smooth V4 engine, but also the great wind protection. I have not had a single issue with this bike having owned it for roughly 5 years. When I brought it for its first servicing with Meng Tong, he told me the engine is in exceptional condition, and has been well looked after. The bike had been carefully maintained. All fluids were religiously changed at the service intervals, including brake fluid, shaft oil, engine oil, fork oil, etc. Valve clearance was also done at recommended intervals, spark plug replacements and of course the consumables like tyres and brake pads. I've only replaced the battery once, after 4+ years of almost daily service. Brake lines upgraded to Galfer SS brake lines, for much more responsive braking. This was the first upgrade I did, as this is a heavy bike and I needed good braking. Cosmetically, I think it looks pretty well taken care of for a classic. Give it a good polishing job and it will look fabulous. Reason for Selling Sad to say, I'm giving up riding. Getting soft with age. Why ST1100? With so many newer tourers on the market, why did I choose the ST1100? When I was shopping, I looked at all available tourers on the market at the time. FJRs, ST1300, BMW series, Concourse. I'm sure all the other models have their strengths, but these were the reasons that drove me to the ST1100. - Bullet proof reliability and robustness. Mine is a pretty late model ST1100 with whatever minor kinks already ironed out. Its reputation as a rock solid dependable tourer is well known - Shaft driven, low maintenance for daily commuting and touring - V4 engine. For smoothness and touring purposes, I personally believe this is the best configuration. It does not have the buzziness of an inline 4, is super smooth, and has the torque characteristics of a Vtwin. True it is not a redline revving monster, but that's not what tourers are built for. - Problem free bike. One way I checked for a bike's robustness was to visit the forums dedicated to those bikes. On forums for the other tourers, I read about transmission issues, ABS issues, high speed handling issues, etc. In ST1100 forums? Most of the topics were about how to add a cup holder, voltage meter, GPS, customizations, etc. I was sold. - Simple design. It has very very few failure points, because it is a simple and robust machine. It does not have many fancy or unnecessary electronic sensors and gizmos that are apt to break down and are very costly to replace. I'm an old school biker, and that's what I like - a bike that is beautiful in simplicity and robustness. - No issues whatsoever getting parts for this bike. Details: Original registration date: Apr 2001 COE Expiry: 18 Apr 2021 Road Tax: Have to check, probably till end Apr or early May. Milelage: Below 87,000 as of today Fuel consumption: 17-18km/l (touring), 14-15km/l (city) Asking: $6,500 To view, please whatsapp to XXXXXXX. Will not be able to take calls when working. My work schedule is pretty hectic, so I ask for a simple courtesy / consideration. Please only schedule a meeting if you are genuinely interested in purchasing my bike, and if a meeting is scheduled, please show up. Thanks!
  8. Planet motor @ Ubi. Wont chop carrot, reasonable prices.
  9. Hi bro, 2001 is lcd screen already. yes i think 04 onwards no more changes.
  10. Sorry Phang, may I know which page on the catalog is the tri-wing screwdriver? I wanna look up the one I have, see if they have the pattern that matches the ERP. Thanks.
  11. Hi Phang, you're right, it's tri-wing. But from what I understand, even tri-wing has several variations, and the one used on the ERP unit will dissect an equilateral triangle equally if u can figure what I mean. The cross section looks a little different from the one above. Speaking of candy store, itchy for a visit already...hehe
  12. Same thing happened to me also. Till today the card still inside. I have no idea how it happened! I went VICOM but they said my warranty over, they won't open for me. I asked if I can borrow their tool, they say they don't have. Think they smoking me la. You need special tool to open up the thing, the screw is a wing shape screw to prevent tempering. Can buy the bit overseas. I heard Auntie shop at Jln Besar can do ah? Not too sure...
  13. Honda CB125TT - Single cylinder engine MODULE, IGN CONT Part #: 30410-KC1-921 Honda CB250 - Dual cylinder engine MODULE, IGN CONT Part #: 30410-KBG-003 Honda CT70 - Single cylinder engine MODULE, IGN CONT Part #: 30410-141-751 Honda CB400F - Four cylinder engine MODULE, IGN CONT 30410-KAF-672 Honda calls it an ignition control module. Kawasaki calls it an igniter. Suzuki calls it a CDI unit, Yamaha calls it an Igniter Unit. They all refer to the same thing, just different manufacturers using different terminology.
  14. Well I worked for an MNC writing software that controls the ECM, and it was my job to know engines. The company is #1 in sales in automotive ECMs and produces the ECMs for Harley Davidson bikes, but what do I know. I read too much from the internet. Btw, ECU = Electronic Control Unit ECM = Electronic Control Module It's the same thing. But I guess it's what people ask for in shops that determines the terminology, so what do I know. I'll leave it to the real experts.
  15. An ignition control module is just a generic name used for devices that control when the spark fires. It's like saying cars, trucks, bicycles, motorcycles are all vehicles. A vehicle is a generic term. Similarly an ICM is just a generic term. It doesn't matter whether your engine is an inline 4 or single cylinder engine. It must have a controller to control when the spark fires. That's just basic 4 stroke engine operation principles. And by the way, if your bike has an injector or an o2 sensor, then you have a fuel injected bike. In that case the ECM itself does the ignition control and you will not have a separate ignition control module. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From wikipedia: Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.
