The range on this bike is 300 miles (500kms)on a tank of fuel. Start looking for fuel at 240 miles. The ABS system is rather sophisticated, one of the best in the industry. In the meantime to stop the ABS light flashing, press the ABS button on the left pocket fairing. Best tires are Bridgestone Battleaxe T32s. 79k miles the bike is barely broken in. New timing belt will be required at 90k miles. Inspect the connector for the main relay make sure it isn’t compromised. Fresh brake and clutch fluid would be a good idea. I would also flush the cooling system. Oil level should be between the two marks on the site glass. Good luck on your event. Excellent info can be had from the “Archives of Wisdom” on the ST-Riders forum. (I have a TH-cam channel for my ST1100)
@@HelmetHead they are a very good bike and could give years of service, you should have fun on your charity ride. You will also be able to pack some gear, tent and sleeping pads and bags wouldn’t be an issue. I have a hammock tent but that’s another story. Cheers
I watched Allen Millyard's bottom end rebuild of his ST1100. His skill and tenacity for running down a slight rod knock is amazing but I was also thinking about the design of the ST1100 engine. Its a marvel of engineering, build quality, function and serviceability. And they quit making these to make the ST1300 engine and then they discontinued that! I believe that one day people will look back and ask "how did they do that?" Kind of like that ask "how did they build the pyramids?" The design and complexity of the ST1100 engine is just amazing and now they are knocking about as just old bikes.
Fun to see you on a bike that I've never seen before. Good luck on your upcoming BigRoadTripUK! Wish I could join you with a cheap used bike and experience the scenery and comradery which is sure many. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Your channel is growing and being in Canada, I'm happy to be following you and the guys! Good show!
Great bikes.....mines a 2000 model and 67K , as said check swing arm also exhausts, fit new tyres and the "tipping in" on corners/roundabouts will disappear.
Looks like a good deal, spot on 😊👍 may soon need just a little bit of attention. They are very tyre sensitive and sometimes the wing mirrors drop off. We love ours (98 model), and go all over the place on it.
Great vid. Ive got a 98 1100 pan that has just passed the 100000 miles. It still sounds and rides like a 20,000 miler. Best motorcycle I have ever owned in 52 years of riding.
Just a few days ago I found that my st could handle a 50 mph gallop through a hay field. I had no other solution as I over ran a curve. The BiG Bike done well as I rode it back up unto the road way here in Tennessee.
Honda owners/riders are the best in the 🌎. 71K is nothing for these bikes, she's only just run in 😍. OH and I see you have treated yourself to a shiny new camera 😉😉🤘🤘
hi there if you turn the the key so neutral light showing hold the abs button on the left hand side for 3 seconds and then start the bike up, still holding the abs button, it will stop the flashing light and reset the abs brakes. great video
Some of the best bikes ever...my 98 st has 90,000 miles and often I follow new and nearly new bikes on rides because they will be giving the owners some problems. So I follow them in case they break down.
Great Bike the Pan European. I had the same model for a couple of Years, the ST1100. The only downside for me was that it was extremely Top Heavy (44 stone) and difficult to park on a camber… 😂. The handle bar design and shaft drive made me feel like I was on a giant scooter. Fantastic buy for 850 notes though. Enjoy 🤩. Cheers Dean (Monkey Dix Adventures)
Ditto the comments about the owners club. Manuals are also available online. The Abs is very 'Honda'. Pressing the Abs light will stop the flash but to dismiss the light or retrieve the code which tells you what actually set it off requires pressing and holding the Abs button before turning on the ignition. Keep holding to get rid of the light or quickly release to retrieve the fault code. My Abs light occasionally lights up when caught in stop start traffic, the system is very voltage sensitive apparently.
Hi Richard last year i bought a ST1100 2000 for 800$ CAD i invested 900$ for cleaning the carburator plus a New battery and i also change Front and rear tire for a total of 2,000$ CAD and i enjoy my bike with 8,000kms last Season i can not wait to ride another Season with this Amazing motorcycle and now she's only 64,000kms 🎉
I knew a guy at work (he now retired) who had a 1992 st1100 with 168,000 miles on and it was sweet as a nut, he put 90% of the miles on it, he loved the bike and had really looked after it, even though he rode it through every winter for years and it never let him down 👍😁 Are you going to be posting dates for the different route meet/departures?
@@HelmetHead I dont use social media so the wife will have to add you to facebook 😂 she has her own bike too 😊 a 2021 suzuki SV650, she loves it apart from the uncomfortable seat 😁
Abs fault unfortunately. I did fix it in the end 👍. My latest crazy plan is to ride the world by monkey bike 🤣 - Around The WORLD! th-cam.com/play/PLRUtR8JRmF7oFIkBB_UQNNP8-Ss7rNFyu.html
Hated mine , noisy due to airbox Location , exhaust falls apart , fuel tank leaked , slow and uncomfortable .Not the best bike I've owned and I so wanted to like it
You obviously bought an abused machine as these bikes have been voted the best touring machine ever made. Maybe inspect your purchase better next time 👍
Bought £750 sold £1100 .Ran fine after fixing fuel tank ( common issue ) but badly effected in side winds and droning from airbox due to location under fake fuel tank . Best tourer is probably a BMW GS or if on the cheap a TDM 900 .
That’s a good thing. I’m 34 and considering one of these because they’re so cheap. I don’t want the young’uns spoiling the sports touring market for me!

Love that your wearing the green Shark lid from your early videos. I thought you got rid of it.
Cheers Chris it's nice to be back in the green lid. 👍

Wingman of the road tent may be a good buy for the tour, if you can get hold of one! Great video, thanks
Thanks buddy 😁
Awesome as always ☺️
Thanks 👍
Is that a new GoPro on your chin? It gives a really good riders view.
Great buy helmet head the bike sounds great 👍
Cheers dude 👍
Did you check the tyre pressures on that initial ride ? It will fall into corners if they are under inflated.....fun video!!!!
Big Betty looks a beaut 😎👌🙏🏍🇬🇧🏍⛺️

Wanna sell it?
@@markyboyz1300 It's for sale right now, although for quite a bit more than what I paid for it.
Too late, paid £1700 for a 1992 on ebay,haven't even seen it and being delivered next week, what have I done????
This is why I love HD...
HD = Honda Durability
Lol...
I’d say that because you’re doing a good thing, this bike might come with AA ( Angels Above) protection!
👍😇
😇 Thanks buddy 😁
What a top buy looks cool
I nearly brought one last year 60,000 on the clock £1000.
that bike will do you so well for the trip
😁👍
Good buy 👍
Cheers 😁

Are you going to be posting dates for the different route meet/departures?
The start date and postcode etc and day by day outdate will be posted on the Facebook page 😉 I'll chat about it on a future vid. 👍
@@HelmetHead I dont use social media so the wife will have to add you to facebook 😂
she has her own bike too 😊 a 2021 suzuki SV650, she loves it apart from the uncomfortable seat 😁
Any tyre recommendations for it? Mines needing new rubber and the brakes going over
I'm just looking at tyres and the Battlex BT023 look pretty good for price at the moment.
man what a fantastic deal.....
It’s definitely was 👍
9:49 - 💪👍😁
Great idea,I'd like to come along,what is the name of the Facebook group?
That's great 😁 My Facebook page is m.facebook.com/HelmetHeadTalks/
Check the swingarm carefully, can rot from the inside out.
Will do cheers 🍻
new - new cameras?
Yes 😁 the Gopro 10 just playing with the mic etc to get the sound right 😉
What’s the flashing red light on dash?
Abs fault unfortunately. I did fix it in the end 👍. My latest crazy plan is to ride the world by monkey bike 🤣 - Around The WORLD!

Put the new tires on it and it will feel totally different.
The tipping in is due to worn out tyres
The main issue with these bikes is they do not appeal to most younger riders.
That’s a good thing. I’m 34 and considering one of these because they’re so cheap. I don’t want the young’uns spoiling the sports touring market for me!
@@ffilmpalmer8498 Same here. I am just looking for the right one at the right price.
