Thanks for the videos. This is effectively helping me (a dirty Yank), fix up my own ST1100 and find where and how to get things apart. Wirhout breaking them.....again.

Enjoying the video series on all your bikes, brilliant work 👍

Going well. In front of the air filter/box there are two tubes running into a rectangular box which contains a “pre-filter” which should be inspected/replaced.

You may wish to consider replacing all coolant hoses, especially under the carbs. A bit of a pain ....they do become brittle and cause grief. Check the main loom ground, located on the left side by the folding grab handle or left pannier rail. If the ground is loose it can cause the temp gauge to indicate hot. By hooking an ohm meter to the temp sender just below the thermostat you can monitor when the thermostat opens up and when the fan kicks in. The fan kicks in around 28 ohms and turns off around 31 ohms. Good luck with the servicing.

Hello , bei Montage von den Zündkerzen nehme ich immer ein wenig Keramikpaste oder Kupferpaste .
Dann geht es beim nächsten rausschrauben einfacher und man beschädigt nicht das Gewinde.
Ich schreibe auf dem Luftfilter immer KM und Datum um zu sehen wie lange es braucht bis er wieder dreckig ist oder
Ersetzt werden muss.
Top Job 👍🏻 Gruss von Mario aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭😉

i would have flushed the radiator given the radiator cap was so messed up, the fluid would be as bad in the tank.

When you replace the oil, don't overfill. It seems to keep creeping up for quite some time in the fill window after you have poured it in.

I did enjoy your video but you didn't show how to do the fluid coolant change in steps which was my main concern. Pls If you could do i will appreciate it a lot.
Thanks

Nice bike. I got a 2000 ST1100 with 25,000 miles on it and my rear abs pump isn't working according to my bike mechanic. The front brake make the front and back to stop. The rear brake just don't work when I press on the rear brake. The shop claim the rear abs pump is $1500

Plugs can be changed without removing the fairings. Here's a quick (1:40) video tip on how to do it. Thanks! https://youtu.be/bdxSaF0MCjs

Datatool alarm.....???....just de wired mine, on my st1100.....bikes lot happier, and no more battery drain, suffered it for three years......biggest piece of crap going,

@roadwarrior8560 8 years ago

Great videos, pity you didn't show the type of spark plug you fitted and what you gapped it at, are you meant to use some thread lock on plugs?
I'd like to see a vid of renewing all the coolant hoses sometime, a job I'm not really looking forward too.
