glennloh,

 

at stationary, u will damaged the engine at unneccessary high reving rpm.

 

mind to be more specific of 'cranking sound' u quoted.

 

might be worn rings or other damages around cam/valve rod seals area burning engine oil out from combustion chamber.

 

expand ur search again if u r not too excited with only this ST1100.

Simon, the cranking sound does not last long ... and its like when rpm reach more than 4k plus , i can hear "clamp ... clamp.. " sound .. but onli few short ones onli ...

 

so as the bike shop say abt tuning will do .. So th posible fault you memtion is it serious and how to comfirm the fault if it is realli wat u saw ... ??? So as i can reflect to the shop and tell them change ... u see ..

 

and also regarding the white smoke leh .. pls enlighten ...

 

Tks Regards

Glenn

white smoke = not healthy engine = many repair work = many money spend...

 

is the sound u were saying is like a bang bang noise....

if it is bang bang sound, possible problem

 

air in-take rubber piping wear out or crack which cause leakage, possibel area...it can be any where in the system....!!! heee...

 

cheers....

Most of Honda bikes have a soft front so what most owners do is change the fork oil to a higher vicosity which will help. As u have just got your bike it best to do a service on it including changing the fork seal so that u have a better handling and worry free....

thanks bro simon n amen23..will do servicing next time i go looi's

servicing fork & replacing steering cone can be done at good pricing with some bargain hunting, most exterior servicing can be done at most shop. they r also plenty of non-famous mechanic around if u have faith with them.

 

we have a veteran member did this service & replacement himself FYI.
