May I know what is the function of the wind deflector? How useful is this to the rider?

By the way has anyone installed the Hyperpro streetbox suspension kit on their ST11? Or a fork brace? Has it improved the bike handling!

 

Thanks.

I Tnk if u going to use ur bike for touring better not to change to others. At high speed it might affect the performance and handling of ur bike. Better stick to the factory design.

If anyone is interested you can tag along to save on the shipping cost. Some FJR13 riders are also tagging along so shipping will be further reduced for each.

Which mechanic told you that the ST1100 needs a PC. I don't think there is one for the ST1100. Its a carb bike, not a FI. But then again I could be wrong too.

[nur90]

yup.. you are right.. just thought PC only works on FI not Carb.. for carb is dynojet?

[nur90]

anyway why im looking for PC is because my previous bike was using PC3. with that it can control your fuel and air mixture of ur bike.. saves abit of ur petrol but also depends on ur way of riding... sooo does ST11 can do that? what kind of equipment to use?

 

any kind soul to advise?

Wind deflector as mentioned is to deflect the wind away from rider. IMO, not advisable as the current set up is already hot. So by deflecting the wind away will be hotter for the rider. A touring windshield is already too hot for me. So wind deflector is a no no for me.

Read this interesting article. The author has tried a lot to improve his ST11. You can get some tips.

My ST is a very thirsty beast. Only can 14km/l on local roads & the same while touring. I was stranded with an empty tank when the distance travelled was only 387km.

Likewise. I have a MRA touring windscreen n I find it actually make my ride more uncomfortable. So I remove the top portion of the screen n ride on local roads. It also makes the bike look more sporty.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else.

Try some these steps to check;

- tyre pressure. Front at 250 rear at 290.

- If operating temperature is correct, meaning if the thermostat valve regulator is inside.

- correct viscosity engine oil & level, it should not be above 'H' when cooled.

- if carburetor r properly tuned & synchronized.

 

Other detail steps i.e.;

- inspect for torn or shrunk vacuum tubes.

- if back fire occurs when revs high, if it does, check on the intake manifolds clamp if they r properly tighten.

 

Lastly.......... Your riding habit.

Well one thing for sure it minise the windblast on your fingers when you installed it that is for sure.. Since it is an original Honda OEM parts i guess it should be essential item.

[Sankar73]

Hi Woren,

 

Although I find the screen uncomfortable for the local roads because of the stop & go traffic, I still it for the long rides up north...

When I got this bike , the previous owner has already done all the major services before passing it to me. The evidence was the photograph of the striped down bike and the smooth engine of the bike. There was no problem other than a loose exhaust nut.

 

I do take care to make sure that the tire pressure is 37 psi on the front and 42 psi on the rear. I also changed to a new set of tires of the right size.

 

The operating temperature seems to be right as per your suggestion. But the RPM at idle seems to be high at 1000 when completely warmed up.

I now need to make an engine oil change & tune and syn the carbs. What grade engine oil is recommended for the ST11? Fully syn, semi syn or mineral oil is best for the bike?

 

Thank you.

 

Riding habit has always been the same.... always within the legal speed of plus 20km/h above the limit.... ... in fact smaller bikes are always going faster than me...
