She looks sweet, sounds nice too. Very nice bike. There is only one hose on the RHS, none on the left. I think it’s just to get some coolish air near to the air intake, that’s all.
Hi Jon, I found that when I put the side panel on the hose would not fit so I took the hose off and left the scoop on. The right side hose goes to a part that was taken off by the owner before me. He removed the air induction system. Thank you for your input. Norman.
@@2001himax No worries, i’ve had three 1100 Pan’s and they were all the same. RHS tube only. Just bought my 4th a few days ago because I think it’s one of the best road bikes ever made. Will be doing some light re-commissioning myself very soon.
@@jfro5867 Be sure to check the coolant line coming off the part where you put the coolant in. I have a video about it. Mine was plugged shut. When you work on your bike you should make a video and put it on You-Tube. If you do send me a link to it. All my best . Norman.
The Haynes book says = Check the timing belt condition every 60,000 miles. Change the timing belt every 90,000 miles. My bike is a 1993 with 57,000 miles. Next winter I am going to set the valves and I will look at the belt. If it looks good , no cracks, I will wait till it has 90,000 miles to change the belt even if it looks new. Go by the book. Norman.
I am pretty sure the ram air hose is not on all models and when fitted is only on the right, my 93 ST1100AP does not have this hose and never had one. I think it brings air back to the vacuum operated fuel shut off valve which i did not see in your video.. maybe removed - the diaphragm internally on these do fail and people bypass these as the fuel pump does not overpower the float level valve in the carbs (generally). In short i think the ram pipe brings air in to cool the fuel shut off valve and behind carbs to reduce fuel boil, these bikes are hot by nature and in a hot climate they are really hot below the covers..
Hi dean, You are spot on. The owner I bought it from said he removed the valve due to it leaking. He also removed the air induction system. On my Suzuki C50 I tell people to check the air induction pipes where they come to a bend. They are known to have a burnout at these bends. About $220 to replace. I used some metal and JB Weld to fix set on a V Star. If they burn through the pipes the bike will sound louder and idle a little rough. Thank you for your comment. Norman.
Top tip, if flushing the radiator system always use distilled water not tap water as it has too many chemicals that might (over long term) cause damage to an ally engine
I can't find a regulator/rectifier plug anywhere. I'm buying a '92 with a burned out rectifier. The plug has already been burned and replaced with individual connectors. I can't find a replacement plug anywhere or a diagram of where the different colored wires go. There's a 6th blade that is wider than the rest. Which wire goes to that?

Viper, I looked at your comment again and I think I understand it more. First get the book on your bike from E-Bay. I have the (Haynes service and repair manual Honda ST 1100 (Pan european) 1990 to 2002. The rectifier has 6 wires on it. Three yellow, one white, one black and one red/white.

To find a plug= On the internet search for Salvage Motorcycles. You may have to buy the wiring harness. Not cheap. I would wire it back together with plugs and sockets. I did a Yamaha V Star like that that the plug had been cut off and it did great. What burned your wires in the first place? Are they near the small chrome tubes for the Air Induction ? Run your fingers over the tubes to see if there are any burnt through holes in these tubes. That is what happened on the Yamaha. Let me know if this helped you. If the tubes have any holes in them let me know and I will tell you how to fix them. The Yamaha tubes would cost around $230 to replace them. I fixed they for pennies. Norman.
@@2001himax Thank you for your reply. I bought the st1100 for $600. The starter relay fuse was blown, the connector was melted and the regulator/rectifier was blown. I replaced all those and did the red wire bypass and it started right up and just ran okay considering the gas in the tank was a year old. before I could make it to a station it died. I disconnected the fuel line at the filter and pumped all the old fuel into a container. I then checked the fuel filter. It was fine. I reconnected the fuel line added a bottle of octane booster and 2 gallons of gas. When I turn on the key the gage should show me 1/3 full tank. It still says empty and the fuel in the filter is only halfway up. The fuel pump is working but I don't think I'm getting fuel to the carbs.

Coolant = I use the 50/50 mix and make sure the bottle has ( Any color ) on it. I get it from Wal-Mart. I haven't changed my fork oil yet. In the Haynes Honda ST 1100 ( Pan European ) book it says to use Pro Honda suspension fluid SS-7. You may find it on E-Bay , If not get it from your dealer. The book says Fork oil capacity = Right fork = Standard models.....382.5 to 387.5 cc ABS/TCS models.....369.5 to 374.5 cc CBS/LBS-ABS/TCS MODELS 530.5 TO 535.5 CC Left fork = Standard models.... 432.5 to 437.5 cc ABS/TCS models....415.5 to 420.5 CBS/LBS-ABS/TCS models.....483.5 to 488.5 cc This is when you are just changing the oil. If you take the forks apart the amount will be different. Yes the right and left forks have different amounts in them. I suggest that you get the book ,look on E-Bay, there is so much info in it that it's worth the money. For motor oil in my Honda and Suzuki I use Mobil 1. Now anyone with a Harley use Harley oil ONLY. They have their own formula. I have done my research and only use Harley oil in my Harley. Hope this helps you, Norman.
I just checked, E-Bay has the fork oil. They have 5W that is clear oil and Red oil that is 10W. You could drain a small amount of your oil to see what you have in your forks. I think the 5W would give you a little firmer ride. Norman.
@@SinnerSince1962 Hi Bryan, You are right. Where I worked they had 500W. I took some home and used it on my Harley chain. It was like honey. It stayed on.
Hi Mr. M , I found that an air flow tube would not fit on the left side when I put it back together. I did leave the shop vac scoop on the left air intake on but did not put a hose on it. Norman.
Hi Glenn, First look in the gas tank for fuel. Even if the gauge says you have gas look in the tank to make sure. Next how old are the spark plugs? Check the spark plugs caps are on tight. Check the air filter, Is it clean. Are there any codes that come up. Codes can show the problem. This is a start. Norman.

@@2001himax HI Norman Wondering your thoughts.. . Not sure the best way to ask an opinion out of the blue. I have a 2002 Suzuki Vl800. If it sits a few weeks, it doesn't want to start. Takes about five minutes of repeatedly engaging the starter for a few second intervals with choke and at idle until it fires. After that it is reliable. I've read chats that this is normal for this bike . Some suspect the carb bowl is draining or evaporating, which is making sense to me. They say it takes a bit to vacuum in enough fuel to fill the carb. One guy even says he pulls the fuel line and manually blows into it to prime it up. Not interested in that! Does this diagnosis seem reasonable to you? I'm wondering about fashioning up a manual primer squeeze pump on the fuel line. Not sure if I can find such an item, but seems logical to me. Appreciate any thoughts. Chris
Hi Chris , Try this. When you go to start it leave the choke off and crank the throttle on three times. Now put the choke on and leave the throttle on idle. Start the bike. If it doesn't start = leave the choke on and crank the throttle three more times, leave throttle on idle and try starting it. This may help. Norman.
I don't know why you're talkin about carburetors and sticking floats on a fuel injected motorcycle I don't think you mean throttle body don't know all the details of a fuel induction system especially on the ST 1300. Perhaps you could enlighten me
Hi Gary, This is a 1993 Honda ST 1100. It has carbs so it has a float bowl at the bottom of each carb. Four carbs, one for each cylinder. The newer bikes have fuel injectors like my 2012 Suzuki Boulevard C 50. Now below the injectors there is a part between the injectors and the intake that is the carb body. I am old school so I prefer having carbs. They are easy to clean and set. With injectors you have a I.S.C. = Idle Speed Control. If it goes bad you have to take it to a dealer to have it fixed or buy a $360 tool to do it yourself. With carbs what happened is I saw fuel running out of the one carb. The float that goes up and down to meter the amount of gas stuck so it was getting too much fuel. When I tapped the float bowl it unstuck it so it went back to metering the gas flow. I one time had a 1979 Harley bran new and it had one carb. The same thing happened and a tap on the carb and it worked and never stuck again. This coming winter I will rebuild the carbs. Hope this clears this up some. Norman.

Are these interference motors or will the valves get tapped
The second hose was there on earlier models but was later dropped due to carb icing from what ive heard
Thank you for the info. Norman.
How would you know when to replace the timing belt on the Honda ST1100, is it by miles ridden or age of the bike?
The Haynes book says = Check the timing belt condition every 60,000 miles.
Change the timing belt every 90,000 miles. My bike is a 1993 with 57,000 miles. Next winter I am going to set the valves and I will look at the belt. If it looks good , no cracks, I will wait till it has 90,000 miles to change the belt even if it looks new. Go by the book. Norman.
what Rizer you have there?
The hose directs air to the vacuum fuel petcock, to prevent vapor lock.
