Honda ST1100

[acesray23]

Asking for a friend who just got a ST, US version 10-year old ...

 

Cruising in Malaysia at about 150 km/h, his bike will develop a wobble, then gotta bring down speed. Any idea why?

 

I ride behind him, I see his rear left box seems to be shaking. Will it come off while riding? Anyway to secure it better?

 

Thanks.

If there is a faint smell of petrol on the bike after riding, what is the likely parts and cost that need to be looked into?

check out the auto fuel cork hanging on the right side of the air filter box. might be leaking n worn off liao. a wear n tear part.

 

then might as well check the fuel filter that is linked to it. cheap replacement. can last quite a long time de actually.

thanks for the advise botakmonk

Hi, has got a problem with my ST. Gottenn it for a month already but however, my mileage is always at the 150-160miles range for a full tank of 98 petrol. Is this normal or do my cub need servicing? Think that mine is a gas drinker. US version ST11 btw. FP plate

Hi Guys... Still looking for a ST1100... Any lobang? BTW US or Pan Euro worth to get? Cheers.

[Simon Soh]

Aust,

 

most shop charge a fee of less than a hundred, any cost beyond that u should consider it again.

 

usually workshop will properly clean it, tuned & synchronised it.

Hi. I believe this question has been ask over and over again... With the Euro models it has some positive upgrades over its past models and the feedback has been positive . You may get a US version which are cheaper than Euro versions.Both work well..but of course wouldnt it better to get an improved version? Just to show you some of the difference....

 

 

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.

- larger main jets .

- EVAP system(emission controller)

[JazzBear]

Hi Chubb thanks for the info.

 

Now is in between the choice of getting a NT650 Deauvill or getting a ST1100. Just hope to get some advice here.

Hi guys...I'm free now so decided to post some info for those who are interested in the ST11 beasts. Pardon me for being a kaypoh and if I've posted any info incorrectly k. Here goes:-

 

1) Price of 2nd hand beasts range between $5.5k to $11k depending on the model and year of registration. The last production of ST11 was in 2002 I think. My FW plate was registered in 2004 and I paid about $12k last Sep for it from a bike shop.

 

2) Mileage I would assume is fuel consumption. Mine using Shell 95 and one litre can clock slightly above 19km and I usually top up when my meter hits 410km there about. Fuel consumption can range from 12-20km/litre depending on yr riding style and the frequency on the highway. The more frequent you're on the highway, the better your fuel efficiency.

 

3) Maintenance of a ST11 is similar to that of a Honda Super 4. Except that insurance and road tax are slightly higher than 2A bikes. Road tax is about $300+ and insurance about $500+ for my case (32yrs old).

 

4) ST11 is a reliable bike apart from its bloody weight. For short people like myself (1.65m & 55kg), I have no problem handling it after a few weeks of riding. So no worries for those intending to get the beasts.

 

I hope I have allayed the apprehension of those who have worries about getting one. If it's within yr budget, go get it. But pls do not rush. Take yr time to search for one. They wun run away anytime soon. From time to time, people would sell their beasts and there would be buyers. If you have bought one, satisfaction is guaranteed!
