hi guys,

 

Gonna get my dream ST1100 soon.It's a blue metallic with an FS plate.Just bought the insurance from NTUC for 3rd Party Fire and Theft(2nd party?) at $512.Isn't it a bit steep don't you think?

 

Hope to get some feedback from you guys.Maybe we'll meet in the future and get some tips on the maintenance of this bike.Thanks in advance.

$512 is the amount without NCD. I just renew mine at $390, which is at 20%NCD and 5% loyalty. Where did your NCD go? you can transfer your NCD from your previous Insurance company , if you are unaware of it.

[cooljam]

"20%NCD and 5% loyalty"

 

Hmmmm...maybe I'll check with them again.But too bad I already bought the insurance though...Anyway where do you guys always meet...I know i should read previous post....

hi BoonHean,

 

avoid crowded bike parking area, ur chances of getting ur bike scratched r greater. do a bit of walking, it's worth it trust me..

 

park near pillars or walls & avoid car turning direction..

Simon,

thanks for putting your magical hands on my ST.

 

Bought the manifold components from FJT - (Norman, its easier to enter from Serangoon Road than Desker Road.)

 

Let me know when your next DIY session.

 

Do you have an easier way to change the headlight bulbs for the ST.

 

Website http://www.st1100.org says to take out windscreen, take out dashboard blah blah blah - 2 hours job for novice.

 

On the same street (Rowell Road) there is a lightbulb wholesaler for motorcars and bikes. But to buy my light must show them a sample - how to buy when it takes 2 hours to remove the bulb ?

 

Simon, can you help?

hi Eddiew,

 

it's only a few minutes change the halogen bulds, i will should u how during the next DIY outing. it's the technic, no need to remove more than 2 screws..

 

after market halogen bulbs cost between Sgd15.00-Sgd40 a pair depending on the watt range. a car accessory shop at Sunshine Plaza, 91 Bencoolen St, #01-01 well stock for most accessories suitable for bikes. look for Lilian or Tony, they r very customer oriented.

need to take out so many things?

 

my mechanic just reach from underneath (from in front) then can change the headlight liao mah.....

 

this site still got some hiccups here and there leh... go next page or previous page a few times and then my pc tells me it cant find the site liao haha....

 

sad story.. went JB last week to top up after work (around 0045h). jam damn ridiculous. 1 malaysian bike die die want to squeeze into my lane, his kup-kia fairing got caught by the reflector on my pannier, then demanded me to pay him how unreasonable can they be. but me ask him go fly kite they left, but then some kind soul (local singaporeans) walked over to me, say that his indian friend (those malaysians were 2 indians btw) overheard them sayin that they had taken down my number, and will be waitin for me inside, advised me to U-turn. did as told to avoid trouble... heh.

 

anyway... still back to my previous question... who wants to buy my original uncut key??

hi Eddiew,

 

something between 50-55W will do, too high watt might drain too much current from battery.

 

it's the normal halogen bulb cars r using..

but what i read ... the ST stock bulb is different from the normal headlight bulb ?

[Simon Soh]

yes, it's the watt different.

 

it's 60/55W for PE model & 45/45W for US model, only agent is distributing it at Sgd70/pcs if i could remember, it's not economical compared to after market bulbs

[MrLau]

it should be 45-55W i think, no one is selling here except agent. it's cost about Sgd70/pcs. so after market bulbs r more economical...

hmm... not only the wattage .... how about the mouting ?

[Simon Soh]

the bulb seating is different, must modify it to be fitted in nicely.

 

i will show u guys how to change it for Eddiew next week.

[Secludere]

Hi guys...

 

Check with u all. Does your STs have any "loose metal" sound when u r warming up the bike?

I hear it too sometimes when rpm at ard 2400 at gear 3

I dun hear it when rpm less than that during travelling

Am i supposed to hear that during run-in??

 

??

it's the time belt retaining plate sound, almost all ST1100s has it, nothing to be alarm..

[ashenZ]

hahhahaa same as mi.. over sensitive... juz tke it as it has lotsa weird sounds and ignore dem hehhee~ workz for mi..

 

amen n simon... heard frm others u guyz kena kup ur ST up n down twisties of cameron... muz teach mi ehh.... mi smell exhaust all the way up n down..... dem difficult to control.. pick up not enuf to over take cars the short dist and brakes not enuf to break in time.....

 

juz my tots..... muz learn frm the lao jiaoz....

 

saw 3 STs up fraser hill also.. they did wot i tot quite impossiblee~! hmmzz....

[amen23]

Where is the lao jiao.... no new or old bird here....

all ppl here share what they know as for cornering, ST are not good at it coz of the weight. Take it slow and easy, me also smell smoke when on my way up and down from cameron.... where are go fast wan unless u wan to go downhill fast the others by direct drop... (touch wood) and for breaking need longer distance due to the weight too.... u can try by tipping brake....
