Ya.. really cant feel the power and kick when trying at carpark. So tomorromw meeting up again? at West coast mac? heehee (near my home)

Normen11 · May 11, 2004

Hi Simon,

Regard the weight, think by removed abit of side Fairing.. abit of side pannier.. abit of front fairing.. overall weight should be very light.. hee

By the way .. seldom see ST 'RR' onnline huh.. hee

hi guys...,

something to share

recently i heard of cases where bikes wheels nipple head bursted while travelling on NSH.

reason is damage nipple head.

so guys do keep a look out for cracks or leakage on the nipple, and be gentle to the nipple while pumping.

ashenZ · May 12, 2004

From wat i understand

ST11 had been in market for 13yrs lao.

there r two verison of ST in market, Europe verison or US version.

US version measure in miles while Europe version measure in distance kilometer.

58000 mile is ok for ST11 provided the owner had taken care it well. such as engine oil and coolant.

condition is the main thing rather than milage.

but at 58000 miles, certain thing need to be check as timing belt and oil seal.

those are the wear an tear thing.

You mean the chrome shining ones? they were custom made by Seng Kuang Metal. I think they still have some in stock. Cost should be aroung\d $50 to $70, forgotten the price liao:cheeky:

Hi..was there wif ASH today.....yeah....bike in pretty poor condition(even though i don't own one,but sounds funni to me).After all the FREEBIES that was offered(as was mentioned by ASH)i still feel pretti uncomfortable.About the penniers,there was a hole drilled thru one of them and enquired about new ones,was told it'll cost SG$1200 for a new pair.....mileage is like 999.*** plus.....FK plate.Overall verdict...Poor.(my own opinion)...

Ok...am now currently ridin a vtec2 and am takin my CL2.....Am lookin at STs as i loves bike tourin.Needed some info from all fellow ST riders

1)How low can the STbe lowered on the stock suspension?

2)Will it affect the ride of the bike much?

3)How often should it be check for the carb and tunin?

Many thanks for any info from ST bros......

hi FX PJR,

1) it cant, there aint any to lower with stock or after market suspension.

2) it wont unless if u exceeded the max load(u, pillion & cargos load)

3) general components r subjected for inspection/service or replace for every 12,000km or 1 year. replacement of cam belt & coolant pump at about 120,000km, no need to overhaul(wash) it unless it is badly choked.

ST1100 is one of the ultimate riding machine Honda has ever invented, distributed so well in Euro by Pan till such he has his name 'Pan-European' labled on each after 96'.

it's designed to with-stand enduro ride with lesser re-fueling intervals(28ltr=440-660km/full tank) depending on condition & attitude of rider, max torque at [email protected] powered for touring comfort.

join us for outing to find out more info for this ultimate riding machine..
