1300 electrical

Preface- ——————————————————————————— This is an issue I’ve seen with MANY ST1300s online, as well as on my own 2 personal bikes. (Maybe you've seen or experienced this as well!) The LCDs have a tendency to get yellow sunspots if left out in the sunlight for seemingly ANY amount of time. Like...

Greetings fellow road grimed astronauts. I got the itch to upgrade my 2012 ST1300 with self-cancelling turn signals. I won't debate the merits of this choice here, but I will endeavor to cut through the volumes of posts related to how to install it that preceded this one to hopefully provide...

An invaluable aid to the identification of electrical faults which result in the fuel pump not working on the ST1300. If you think that you cannot read an electrical circuit, try this. It takes you by the hand and leads you through the diagrams one step at a time. The Fuel Pump Circuit...

A self contained wiring harness for providing power to all of my accessories. Properly fused, comes on with accessories and/or ignition and can be completely isolated by disconnecting just one connector. Over the top ? Maybe. But it works, it is safe and has never let me down. (Not yet...

My previous bike's manual had a color coded wiring schematics and it was very easy for follow the wires. After becoming cross eyed looking at the B/W ST1300 schematics, I'd decided to create a colored version. I might have missed a line or a description here or there, so if you happen to see a...

How to reprogram the ignition keys with HISS. These instructions are provided in the UK Honda Workshop Manual, but I have tidied them up and illustrated them with my own pictures and have added comments and explanations from my own experience. You can program up to 4 keys, but they all have to...

I installed a voltmeter for checking two things: Key turned to the right for ON position for testing battery voltage. With engine running will check charging system. This is an Innovate voltmeter I had. First of all, I proved it with a power supply that I have for testing gadgets. To...

I love being seen. The first time I passed a friend at night he commented on my visibility. (Not a whole lot for such a big bike) I have worked on multiple ways to increase that ever since. Here is way number 304. :) The saddle bags are the widest part of the bike (except maybe the mirrors...

You have to be kind of handy to do this but instead of using the Centech AP-1 or the Eastern Beaver CP8 - Power Center 8 Fuse Boxes, I decided to make my own. I did use the layout of the Power Center but mine only cost me around $30 to make and my wires were the length I needed to put it...

A member on this forum asked if I could provide him with some information on how to connect a Electrical Connection Trailer Isolation Relay on a ST1300. I decided to draw a little wiring diagram with the correct color codes to make it easier. For those who are not familiar with isolation...

I guess I can post in here... Now that I've FINALLY tracked this one down, it's a "known" problem. ;) I've been having a really annoying intermittent problem, with a fuse blowing, for quite some time. In my case, it was always the same fuse. Specifically, the fuse that powers the instrument...

I read in another forums a sportbike rider was concerned about their excess power to add run heated gear and I got curious what power is typically available. http://www.powerletproducts.com/learningCenter/excessCapacity A short answer is ~100 watts but lets take a look at some steps to...

I decided to document the way I installed my grip heaters. I bought SYMTEC brand grip heaters with the Rocker Switch and copied WILLIMAKIT's installation of the switch. Because I'm a nut, I also wanted an LED to let me know when the heaters were on. This was not part of the kit, but was...

In my never ending quest to farkelize my ride in a unique and safer fashion, I found some 15" long 18 led light strips at Walmart. I did a search on the site for an install like this but I found nothing. So, I will share my thoughts and ideas so that I may save others time and trouble if they...

I wanted to have the option of riding with or without my top box and I have a powerlet bulkhead kit already hooked up to it so I wanted to take advantage of that. Here's the bulkhead kit - connected directly to the battery w/fuse and connectors to make them easy to connect/disconnect - click...

Just an easier to read headlight wiring diagram for the ST1300 (non P model) This is a copy of the Honda service manual, wiring diagram. It is wrong! The relay names are reversed and, the lamp filament positions are reversed. See post #22 for correct wiring and, additional information.
