congrats on your purchase.. great bike, it's my third one, a green one after a blue and a red one..my favourite motorcycle along with the varadero and the vfr 800 fi...(still have one for the fun)..never dropped one..easier I think to drop a varadero...cheers from France..
for the timing belt I did a visual inspection, as Honda recommends. Just remove the covers, and look at the timing belt and see whether or not there are cracks in the belt, deformations, etc.
@@eefneleman9564 There is a reference to which visual inspection should be done I think at 60,000 km or miles, and after x at x kms. The replacement, even if the belt appears to be good, is that it is at 150,000 kms, according to you. The possibility of the belt breaking is so serious that it cannot be facilitated.
It's done I bought a Honda ST1100 Pan. it seems to me that I will never be able to drive it, it is too heavy, it fell in the garage, I only got help to lift it, to park it, it fell down again, I held it and I had a reasonable backache . The bike is beautiful, it's a panzer, but I'm afraid it's too much for me
Yes, it's seriously heavy. I dropped mine not too long ago, and was fortunate enough to have two people come running to help. Our instinct is always to try and stop it from falling, but that's not really an option.
@@eefneleman9564 I had feedback from the other gentlemen, who told me that it is a matter of habit, and adapting to the machine. What I think is that it's not a motorcycle to ride in the city, or on very busy roads. when it's time to stop, every precaution is necessary, life will always bring us unexpected situations. These bikes require a lot of responsibility and a lot of attention. I bought mine in Holland, at a good price with damage on the Left side, mirror, twisted metal mirror support, broken (but repairable) fairing and it seems to me that the owner fell with it, got fed up and shipped it
@@eefneleman9564 I already thought of one thing, in case it falls, if we have a 1 Ton hydraulic jack, of the ordinary type, and if we study a place on the motorcycle to place it when fallen, and we make a metal part suitable for motorcycle/jack adaptation, it is possible to lift the bike without help, of course it would have to be well studied, no big deal. The jack will be easily transported in the motorcycle
yes, the plastic that protects the gasket, well done

I just looked in the manual. It says: replace every 150000 km.
So I guess I shouldn't worry too much.
