I'm not a lao jiao but hope I answer to the best of my knowledge based on my own ST.

 

Ans to:-

1) I think it's 23L + 5L Reserve = 28 litres in total

2) Mine is about 18-19km per litre (subjective)

3) My insurance about $300 plus I think (Age 32) TPFT

4) Road tax is about $500 plus per year (or is it the opposite Ans 3 & 4, can't remember)

5) Depends on the year and condition of bike (Ask around) Range starts $5k to $12k.

6) Maintenance about same as Super 4. Reliable bike so far. Didn't spend much

7) Pros: smooth ride / Cons: STX looks better...haha

Can someone teach me some special 'techniques' to reverse their ST??

I really am having 2 hand-full of problem.. esp reversing it n trying to stear it at the same time...

[YEN96]

I really am having 2 hand-full of problem.. esp reversing it n trying to stear it at the same time...

 

if height is a problem, use whole body to lean on the bike, left hand on handle, right hand on pillion grab. would be good if can position front wheel facing right side then reverse. seems a lot easier.

 

if height is not a problem, go as close to bike as possible, left hand on handle, right palm on rear seat. reverse

 

if scenarios allows, reverse wif side stand down, in case bike leanin to wrong side still can pull towards u safely.

 

do it once do it nice. dun hesitate can liao

[Simon Soh]

my method is to bring it to center balance, with left hand on left grip steering & right hand on the seat pushing it back, look difficult but its easy after some practice.

 

some time back there were these 2 mechs of a workshop at Tampines Ind, they push almost any bike out from their shop after they serviced it, reversely with front facing them out to wait for the owner to collect, Ive never seen other shop mech ever done that..!!

[rideral]

Dunno if my words are useful....I'm only 1.65m and have no difficulty in most situations.

 

Pls make a judgement prior to parking your bike to make sure that you will have no difficulty when moving out. Some bikes might park too close to our beasts and obstruct our way when we wanna move out.

 

As for reversing, what works for a short guy like me is some confidence and getting used to. I usually use my left hand on the left handle grip while my right hand is placed on the edge of my seat somewhere in the middle length of the seat. When reversing while trying to steer the handle, try to position your beast as straight as possible so that reversing is easier. If you slant the beast, you need more strength to reverse it. I usually dun stick my body close to the beast although my height is short. Have some confidence from practice and try reversing it body away from the beast using the above technique. But always bear in mind not to let the beast slant too much away from you or "good luck to you"

 

Hope my advice dun offend anyone...Just my personal advice coz it works for me, a shortie

[jytheorem]

Height to me is not a prob..

I dun have a prob pushing it on straight grounds.. Just that when its on sloppy slots, i tend to find it extremely tough...

I cannot seem to control the steering bar with my left hand.

 

Thanks for all e precious advices, have to get down to practice real soon.. guess its practice tt would really make it better

[sparks]

[jytheorem]

guys, srry to ask but how heavy is a ST11?

[iffy]

Thanks

[jytheorem]

Can try this link --> http://www.pan-europe.utvinternet.ie/owners_manual.htm

[iffy]

Thanks man, but what i looking for is without the Pan-European. (sorry never stated before)

But still is there anyone got any ideal of what I'm looking for ? It is just st 1100 cos even the bike side also dun have the Pan-European wording.

Then yours most likely to be US model.Only PE models have the emblem on the side panels.Not much difference except the obvious for the slight difference in weight, 28A alternator for US(40A for PE) .

Pan Euro model

- common color r white, maroon, mid nite blue, & green.

- smaller main jets & 40A alternator.

- built with head light switch.

 

US model

- chilly red & black color.

- below 96' models r with only 28A alternator.

- smaller main jets with generous air/fuel mixture.

- EVAP system(emission controller)

 

Info lifted from our site...............

".... the only difference from P.E. models r the main larger main jet & smaller pilot jets. US models air/fuel mixture r richer with at least 2&7/8 turn, but it is equiped with EVAP(emission controller valves) to reduce excessive emission into enviroment.

 

downside is without lamp switch, light on before engine start..

 

those below 96' model r using 28amp alternator whereas 96' & beyond r improved with 40amps......"
