What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?
- Thread starter Mellow
- Start date
Rode to Dammerells and met the local Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists & introduced myself as a new recruit who starts training on Tuesday. Rode with them nearly up to Bude then turned back for home, washed salt off bike AGAIN. Moved my cigarette lighter power outlet as it was too close to my knee and replaced it with a voltmeter. Tried out my Sat Nav for the first time and it works well - this will be really useful when I go touring abroad next year. Total miles today 122 and surprised how much snow is still about in North Cornwall.
Here are the photos that I promised now it is nearly sorted out. I still have a dash camera to add, so the Sat Nav mounting may yet be changed again!! Started off with a Garmin car dash mount and cut it down as you can see. With my Sat Nav, heated grips and LED front lights on, it charges at 14.3 volts.

Well, I don't think I would call them "Bullet Proof", just don't go out too often practicing your slow speed maneuvers... See #11 on this thread: Truth about ST1300 Clutches

I pulled the left side middle and lower cowl off and checked the connection and the wiring from the left knock sensor to the ECM. The wiring checked good. My used ECM came in the mail this afternoon, I installed it and started the engine and let it warm up a bit, then ran the R's up to about 4500 for about 30 seconds, no FI light, but the engine died when I closed the throttle rapidly. It restarted with no problem but I had to adjust the idle just a hair. So I put all the plastic back on both sides and installed the seat. Haven't taken a test ride yet, too late today, but I will do that tomorrow, but so far, all seems well......
Not much.
^^^^^
Great pic
Make a nice calendar for December

I’m curious, if you’re ST1300 is running a quart low, does that affect the clutches too?
Great picture. Thanks for posting.Not much.
A quart low...probably, but if you are running your bike a quart low on oil, you should be checked in to one of those clinics that help you overcome self inflicted stupidity!
Not much.
Someone else for one of those clinics? Leaving your baby outside without as little as a tarp over it?
The rain let up enough to get a 200 mile ride in and I didn't get to wet.

Yeah, rub it in!
That retirement gig is working too well for you!
Nice pictures, thanks for sharing!
Good pictures Mike. The sky came out really well.
Now that's just wrong. Great pic sure but still... Poor baby!
I have a very nice cover (two actually) but i hate putting them on when the beast is wet. Then I forget. I use her to commute ALMOST daily.
Allan, we Californians dream of this white stuff when we are boiling in the summers heat on the freeways
I rode to work today. Weather was supposed to get to 62 and sunny. It made it to 59 and rainy.
That’s really wrong!!!
Now that's just wrong. Great pic sure but still... Poor baby!
