Hi FunkyChicken,

 

 

Does replacing the coolant require removal of the exhaust pipe? Is it a DIY job?

 

I was reading the photocopied Haynes manual with blurred photographs and one of the step is to remove the exhaust manifold . And on the left cylinder block, there is a drain bolt that is very difficult to access without some customized hex socket. Is it really that bad?

 

Thanks,

exhaust pipe dun need to dismantle but your left and right fairring. sitting on the bike, left side to access the drain bolt, right side to access the radiator cap. use coolant flush before u drain to clear all the sludge, used motul available at motoworld. DISTILLED water very crucial stuff for u cooling system if not corrosion, ur linkage, thermostat and worst still the water pump.. try engine ice, ive tried watter wetter not of much different.

Fixing the IU on the handle bar is so ugly has anyone seen one that is fix in a very discreet position or have a better idea on where to fix it? I have seen some bike fixing it to the crash bar of their non ST bike though.

Hi all... afternoon... BotakMonk when going to eat tua bao again???

[ric78]

the IU is indeed an ugly device.

if fitted on a harley, it will spoil the look

but fitted on ST still acceptable. just treat it as a gadget

 

maybe u can do a quick release bracket.

some people use the bracket for the bicycle headlight on the IU.

when not in need, just keep it in the front pocket

Yup.. I ever saw a ST putting the heco top box. But i personaly feel that it dun really suit the bike.. As heco is abit more square while STx has more sharper curves..

Bro tonight going to JB payou, wanna go??? for tua pao call u on sunday should be ok cos sunday work till 2300 hrs monday night shift...

Hi Botak Man,

 

Thanks for the information on the spring colour.

 

I was pleasantly surprised that my stock 8year old spring on the ST11 holds up so well after all these years.

 

The rear end feels right in the bends and soaks up the rather bad Signapore road conditions very well.

 

Just some wallowing during tight bends at higher speed during transition from brake to throttle. Something that will happen even to modern sportbikes. Overall very pleased with ST11.

 

Eerily smooth v4 at cruising speeds. I wonder how the ST13 compares to the ST11 as reviews mention that the ST13 engine is smoother than the ST11.

[civicblade]

Anyone here with stainless steel braided brake hoses?

 

Does anyone know where to buy HEL or goodridge brake hoses for ST11?

 

i've tried HKL racing. They don't have stock.

 

Thanks.

maybe the previous owner have changed the suspension b4 many times. st11 suspension is freakin cheap compared to other class 2 bikes. :cheeky: dun pway pway corners in sillypore lah. danger wor. ask simon soh gege bring u go PG play. hahaha

 

st13 200cc more of course more powderful and smoother. its suppose to be an improved version of st11 mah. but then still feels st11 is more stable at high speeds due to heavier weight.

Hi Guys,

Would like to ask, has anyone tried before, disconnected the battery for period of about 2 months? Will there anything wrong with the bike?

I am going oversea about two months, would like to do so, but not sure what will happen.

Thank you

[cbkooky]

IMO its best to remove or disconnect the battery if this is the case whereby you may need to travel for long period of time.However , upon fixing back the battery, most likely most displays will be reset. And there could be a likely hood the battery may be flat too. Perhaps can just removed the positive cable??

I am more worrying about if battery remove for long time, what will happen to those electronic device such as PGMI, ABS?

[civicblade]

Hi Botakman,

[Simon Soh]

[ric78]

maybe you can get your friend to start your bike every 2 days to prevent leakage.

like that then you dont have to worry so much
