Honda ST1100

[reymund77]

hi bro,

 

for the meeting up u will get ur invitation very soon.

 

as per the plm u wrote, its a very common sounding for ALL US models to have poppin or farting sound each time u rev up & decelerate at stationary position. BUT if u could hear it again while riding on engine braking or before coming to a stop, very high chance r the pair of diaphragm partially cracked/torn due to ageing.

 

to solve it, either u replace it in pair OR by simply stud-block the 4 EVAP outlet tubes from outside the engine block(below spark plug) linking to it.

 

the pair of diaphragm is inside each of the 2 housing mounted underneath(linking to the chrome tube to the engine block outside) the carburettor just beside the radiator hose. to now not sure if anyone got it replace, try check with Honda stockist if they come in seperate diaphragm or in a whole unit with housing.

 

the deceleration pop occurs during riding...never tried high/hard rev or chopping the throttle while stationary / idling as afraid it will harm the engine when its not "loaded"

 

 

Wa...very chim....but thanks for the explanation....hope to meet you guys one day soon before I sent the bike in for servicing....so hopefully wun kanna kor tok.....my mobile at 8288 5558...staying in Bt panjang region..cheers

Try to saw what happen with you switch off your bike, the highlight will get dimmer and off. As you pressing the start button it go dimmer and not off coz the time u need to start the bike does not allow you to see the headlight is off unless you press and start button and hold it then you will see the headlight is off.

 

Hi. My apologies. I couldnt seem to make out what you are trying to convey from the sentences.

hi guys, one of the workshop told me that metzeler tyres Z4 or Z6 are best suited for our ST1100 & quoted me $420 for both front & back. Any comments???

[amen23]

Sorry I'm not good in writing... let me try again...

IF you press long enough on the starter switch you will notice the headlight actually is OFF not dimmer. Normally we press the starter switch and let go the switch once the bike start which make us only notice it get dimmer and not OFF..

Tyre price I think went up slightly from my last change. Anyway $420 should be around the price range. I used a Z4 on my prev ST11. Sticky and good for those bends but wear off pretty fast. Depend on your riding style if travel more on highway type than may suggest getting those tires more value for milleage. Maybe can hear other opinions.

my old time favourite..Michelin Macadame.Long Milleage tyres. Can also consider Bridgestone BT 21. I am non kup knee slider rider so these tyres suits my riding style, longer milleage. Both these tyres should be able to get below $400 range.

The backrest is it from Pirates Lair? Tat one is looks great so is the price

 

I bought an used corbin backrest from a fellow forumer and modidfied it at Seng Kwang.

kn2i,

 

its common plm for pre 96' models, most u could do is bring along a spare rectifier whenever if u r leaving for ride outside Sgp.

 

Thanks, Simon. I've bought a new rectifier for spare (~$85) and replaced the burned connector.

[endlessloop]

motoworld, bro.

how much they charge u for the spare connector..?

 

if u r leaving Sgp for a longer ride, would be better assurance if u bring along some spare fresh wires & some copper clips, u might not know when u will need it again for the similiar event.

 

maintain ur battery well.

bro... not chim lah.... to make it simple, all u need to do it cut 4 pcs of aluminium or similar soft metal alike material, small enough to cover up 4 small little EVAP tube hole from outside the engine block will do. the location of the 4 hole r just above exhaust outlet, each of the 4 chrome tubes r fasten with 2 small nuts, once u un-nut it u'll see a small hole there, cover it...!

 

any DIYer will have no plm to task it, I dont have the pic else it will be a better explanor.

Thanks for the advise. I took some connector from vehicle & DIY still keep the old connector(warped). Actually i directly solder the wires out from the old rectifier as i have no time to look for copper clips as overcharged will spoilt the battery. Do you buy the clips from Sim Lim? However, i still can feel that it's still quite "hot" on my left footpeg holder as compare to the right...i wonder why?

Mine is US model as well...normally have "farting" sound when dec. I only saw tubes to the EVAP. Are you refering to air injection pipes?

[cbkooky]

Maybe different price for different type of tow trucks. Some has built in tailgate so easier to just lift up. Some need the ramp ...old skul. Important bike no damage when at workshop. Later both side wind taichi... At least the rectifier is replaceable...I had to replace my whole alternator previoulsy for Euro version.

[sun]

Looking for White STX. Please pm me with price and contact no. tks.

kn2i,

 

yes, exactly is item 12 Air Injection Pipes no. 16. use proper tool & dun be heavy handed when un-nuting the bolt, will give u big headache if its broken.

[azaryRR]

guys...need help...

 

can engine oil leaks from the oil filter? coz i saw oil spot underneath my bike after 5days-parking-no start engine...come from the left-side of the bike...hmm...

 

where can be the possible common point of leaking? bit worry now..

 

 

p/s: never face it before with previous bikes
