What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

So I Put the Delkevics on the bike and rode like the wind. Came home Sunday night and shot off an email to Delkevic inquiring about the "quieter" baffle. Since it is longer I asked if the baffle would help increase backpressure. So far they seem confused and said to remove all baffles and test performance. I sent another email explaining I want low end torque back not high rpm performance...….wondering how interesting this will get.......on another note...I think I have a solution but I cant stop now.....
 
Wot year is your bike?

Think what yer looking for is a tuner. This engine is plenty torquey, especially with those cans. With or without the baffles. You want torque on the bottom end, she's gonna need a little enrichening. IMHO.

I connected up my electric's controllers. I used the electric liner and heated saddle this morning. I have the gloves ready, but it wasn't quite cold enough for them this morning. And it depends what will happen the rest of this week as far a temperatures go! :well1:

:work1: Who, me? :rofl1:

wasnt you my friend, that gave me static for adding heated grips to my So Cal bike?

:beatdeadhorse:

Of which I used on this past Sunday which was an Arctic 52*F at 7 am and again at 6 pm. Certainly was nice to have toasty hands.

- shout out to the gent here that recommended the correct Apollo grips.

Not that I know of! I don't dis anyone for going with electrics in SoCal! I have been using the liners, gloves (2007) and a heated saddle (2014) for years. I don't have heated grips because I haven't found some to my liking! But I better get some before I move to Utah! :cool:

Some FIs will take care of that within a range. I wonder if the ST's FI is capable of that functionality (open loop/closed loop?) at all. The OP should probably do some runs and take plug readings.

Yes I know, not really much of an accomplishment but you have to start somewhere.

As long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters.

I've never heard of fuel changing the scavenge on a cylinder.

The fuel isn't changing anything. Aftermarket mufflers usually have lower backpressure than factory and that sometimes results in a leaner air/fuel ratio. Reading your plugs should tell you if that's happening.
 
I've never heard of pipes changing fuel/air ratios. ?? If the fuel does nothing why would we look at it...?????..in retrospect I'm trying to increase backpressure to regain low end torque.
My question to Delkevic is...by increasing baffle area in the muffler can I increase backpressure due to less volume in chamber.

Changing back pressure will change the amount of burnt air leaving piston and fresh air entering, so your (clean) air/fuel mixture is changed. More oxygen is now in the chamber for burning.

It's a moot point, the ST FI is not something you can change. The ECU is not going to give up control.
 
We have the technology. Received the ST1300 Honda pub from Everett Motorsports. There's nothing like a brand spanking new clean manual. Broke the wrap on it and promptly marked a few pages in oil fingerprinting. Twas a quality timeless moment. And managed to squeeze some Redline hypoid in the final drive.

Any air coming into the cylinder has a set air fuel ratio. Nothing changes. With more air comes more fuel.the velocity of exhaust gas changes causing a loss of heat for expansion of cooler raw fuel. As i remember...
I agree on the moot point as we cant alter the ratio.
 
@lomita

I was fortunate to find a full STP manual with update inserts in near mint condition off fleabay. No shrink wrap though.
Cute doggies. So what’s with the silver dollars taped to the tops of your feet?
 
Not a dang thing!! 2 " of snow this morning!! The leaves have yet to come off the trees around here! Bummed out as I scheduled some of my remaining vacation days to ride the last half of this week.:shrug2:
 
Maybe he knows a little bit about the healing properties of silver w/r/t foot ulcers, odor, bacteria


“A major problem with the diabetic foot is the increased chance of amputation due to neuropathy, vascular disease and foot ulcers. According to a recent study by the Seattle Veterans Affair Medical Center, it was found that 73% of all lower level extremity amputations occur due to the causal sequence of minor trauma, cutaneous ulceration, and wound-healing failure. This takes the form of shoe-related repetitive pressure leading to ulceration (blisters). The most common cause of these injuries is through ill-fitting shoes. [Source: WebMD.com]”
