Hi guys,

 

I got a funny problem, hope you can help.

I just carried out a routine maintenance - changing the oil filter, engine oil, spark plugs and clean up the K&N air filter.

 

Results:

Before maintenance: Mileage 15km per litre

After maintenance : Mileage 13km per litre ! ! !

hi atk,

 

& also check the engine oil level if u have had it overtopped. the correct level should be at the 'H' when it's parked over nite & at middle after few minutes of warm up.

 

too lean or rich air fuel mixture can result to irregular fuel consumption as well since u have ur K&N air filter cleansed, guess u have to bear with it for while before reinstating to the norm u got.

 

hope it helps.

HI Guys,

I need help with some info for a 2.5 year old ST1100, limited edition.

The models used by most of the european traffic police.

Anyone here can give me a rough guide as to the price??

My friend is selling to me but we got no idea what price to agree on.

I am also worried about the weight of the bike, im currently riding a Fazer1000,

therefore not very sure if i should make the switch but im looking for a good tourer

and this bike fits the bill.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Using stock plugs and 10W-40 engine oil. Probably my riding style. Thanks.

Oil level is exactly at high level when stationary. Will monitor for a while and hope it's back to normal. BTW is my mileage 15km/litres 'normal'? Also what is the best mileage ST11 can get as far as you know. Thanks again.

hi atk,

 

there r many factors can lead to higher fuel consumption besides riding habit.

 

if regular servicing been done, accelerate prudently & journey well planned(expressways), it should be able to save u the extra bit.

 

alternately u can have ur valves gap checked & carburettor synchronised(make sure air fuel mixtured r well balanced). also check if there r any cracks within the intake manifolds, fuel cork & fuel filter r in good condition.

 

for ur's is considered normal. our average fuel consumption r between 15-21km/ltr in Singapore roads(19-21km/ltr r based on 70% ride on expressways), dont be alarm bro..

hi tigerman,

 

as far as i know, ST1100 'low-mid' performance r in no match for FZ1. considering the comfort & storage ability ST1100 is the choice, & ST1100 also have the advantage of monster fuel size tank capacity for longer mileage.

 

weight of ST1100 is only the minor physcological plm for the start, once u adapted & discovered it's manovuering ability it's the ultimate touring machine to ride on all roads...

 

for TP model ST1100 there no market price indication, it's between u & the seller.

this shows that you never look after your air pressure. if you do, it should last you 20000km.

Hey bro... all that u mentioned are good tires

 

I am using the ME33 / ME55 ... can say ok la...

but will be changing to Magadam in my next replacement

 

ME33/55 = get kinda stiff after maybe 3-5k km...

and not very sticky....

My own view la ....

 

Many of the veteran bro are using the BT020 and they highly recommend...

they will have their reasons...

 

I must hor... once you tried Dragon stickyness...

i dont think u will be getting the same kick (sticky) with other brand/type
