What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

Well got done with new hoses, new tires, new fork dust covers, new rear brakes, kinda and new vacuum tubing. Below is a list of things I learned in the process.
1. The No-Mar tire tool is junk. Its requires to much stretch. My homemade unit far better......couldn't wait to give the no-mar a try. Oh well. I have one for a good price.
2. Getting the throttle body off was amazing compared to how easy it went back on......
3. The plugs for the MAP and TPS are exactly the same except for color.
4. There is a shitload of rubber tubing on the ST.
5. A floating coolant thermostat, how cool is that idea!
6. Somewhere in this world there was a group of engineers sitting in a room laughing as they designed the ST. Oooh yea lets put little hoses to oil cooler, wash them mechanic change...,hahhahahahha, oh yea yea make all electrical connector same...….hahhahahhaha, ohhh yea 5 vacuum hose each cylinder, rubber ***** everywhere, take 2 days to change....hahahhahaha. Ok this funny we better build good motor or we get fired.....hahhahhhahah, no no wait lets use a million 5 dollar plastic clips to hold bike together....hahhahahaha oh oh this ***** fun, I glad I no mechanic....hahahhaha
 
Installed my HealTech GIpro X-type G2 today (gear position indicator) 4 hrs + calibration time (30 min). Right side fairing has to come off to get to the speed sensor coupling. One wire taps into a wire off the ECU under the rear pillion. Not afraid of removing the fairing any more

I mounted it on the outside of the plastic on the dash panel because it has a touch sensor on the top to access several different functions.
 
Rolled the odometer over the big 200,000. It's kilometers (126,000 miles), but still a big number. I should have paid more attention when I filled it up at the gas station (trip meter), maybe then I would have caught the actual event.

Do these gear selection indicator mods work only with newer bikes with a diagnostic port?

Edit:
It appears to supoort older ST1300 like mine (2005) without a diagnostic port. But, its compatibility states: “ST1300/Pan European”
Its a little unclear as to if it means only the Pan Euro or not.

It is designed for the ST1300. I think they were stating ST1300 '&/or' Pan European. It works great on my '07. Rode 200+ miles today in great 60*F weather. Nice to see a GPI again on my bike. Last one was on my '82 Suzuki GS850G. Missed it, so had to have this farkle! It only displays the gear number while the clutch is engaged. So, at a light with the clutch in it will show a - . No big deal, you only need/want the numbers when rolling anyway. To me, it's worth the $120.
After you remove the right side fairing and dig down in there, it just plugs into the male and female connectors. The single wire left has to be run up to the rear to the ECU area. Dig into the wire bundle near the ECU and find the yellow wire with green stripe. Connect to that with the provided splice. Took me 4+ hrs. Learned a lot and really like the GPI!
If you're in doubt about compatibility then call Blue Monkey Motorsports. They're an authorized dealer of HealTech. Let me know if I can help out with any other questions!

Ha! No problem there, any spiders still on the bike will be moving pretty slow since it was all of 34F for the morning commute! :rofl1:

I was putting on my rain gear just before this picture. I hit a little rain soon after, but then I hit 10 miles of hard rain and strong winds!

Oooh, very nice rain bow. :shower1:
 
Followed some YouTube guys instructions to take out clutch slave cylinder, got it done. Manual says motor comes out. The guy says we won’t be doing that today.
Then popped the throttle bodies loose.

I hope the popping the throttlebody loose had nothing to do with the clutch slave! :oops:
