Honda ST 1100 Pan European - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
I have a 1991 Honda ST1100 with about 48K miles.
what exactly does "the battery checks out good" mean? What is the voltage reading that you are getting? If anything lower than 12.7 V then that battery is shot or on its way out.
The solenoid not clicking could mean 1 of 2 things.
1. Not enough juice going to it to activate it.
2. The solenoid itself is bad.
If you short out the solenoid by touching both terminals with a screw driver, does the starter start then?
I have a 1996 ST1100
problems like this are best discussed with an accredited bike shop who has experience with wheel wobbles
you have changed the front tire to radial but did you change the back tire at the same time as radials and cross ply ( bias ply) tires have different handling characteristics
the wobble may be like a lack of compatibility between case constructions and I am thinking this because you say that the problem goes when changing back to the bias ply
I just bought 1994 Honda
maybe--ur alternator may just need new brushes etc--salvage yards can help u decide by asking and looking
My Honda St1100 2001, loses the RH 2 cylinders
The CDI controls the firing order of the coils independantly of each other, if you are getting backfiring then that means that there is enough fuel getting to the combustion chamber, it's just not igniting when it should, which can be caused by faulty spark plugs (you've replaced) faulty coils (you've replaced) the only things left are the CDI and the ignition pulse generator, either of these could be faulty but the CDI is the most likely, unfortunately you can't really test it, the only thing you can do is to swap it with a known good one. Just a thought, check connectors for corrosion.
I looked into the sight
The general rule for oil sight glasses is check them with the bike on level ground and the bike held horizontally, NOT on the side stand or centre stand. It's a good idea to get a helper, especially for a heavy bike like a this one. If you can't see any oil, you don't have enough, add more until it reaches the top of the sight glass. Just make sure it's really empty. Sometimes the glass get's an oil stain over time and it can be hard to tell when it's full of clean oil. If you really aren't sure, get someone to lift the bike off the sidestand while you are watching it and you will definitely see the oil level rise up and go over the top if it's actually over full rather than not full enough.
