Did you or should you use silicone lube on the rubber when reinstalling the carbs?

Cheap motoring..looks new

lucky find

Sweet! best 200 dollhairs spent ever. good content, congrats.

Congratulations 🇺🇸👍

This is underrated very much

I thought my BMW was hard to work on... those carbs look like a nightmare to access. Still a beautiful bike. I thought about getting one but found a 1100GS for a great price.

Thank you very much! Fantastic videos! With your help I managed to replace the piston rings. I got the head refurbished by an engine repair shop and again with your help managed to put everything together again, avoiding some pitfalls you showed.

Great refresher course for the front brakes, thanks. Same as my '84 Firebird but I have drums in back so I only needed 1/2 of the vid😃

8:40 regarding the service manual procedure you mention, where can you find that online so i can read it?

I don't think you could buy that bike for 200.00$

Hi great video on the wee bike, brilliant price sounds great, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

Man what a steal!!! around me there is a 91, No title, no keys and beginning to become part of the Earth that it is sitting on and they want $500, I would not take that one unless it was free

I own one of these and rode 145 miles today in Illinois and Iowa . Great bike from Honda !

Thank you very much! Without this video I would never have replaced the piston rings.

You need to soak the throttle with oil overnight then your front brakes should be drained all the fluid and replace with a new one.bleed it properly.adjust your throttle to 1.5.

The swing arm is a must to check as they rust, sign it needs to be done is the aftermarket exhaust, you need to take off the back wheel to check the top, I’ve had a few st1100

very well put together video, clearly spoken, no music, nice details. A pleasure to watch.😊

You absolutely stole this bike. Jump on and head across the country. I had an ST1300 and it carried me 70k miles with never a glitch - these things are absolutely bulletproof - my buddy put over 200k on his. Yeah, it's heavy, but it lives for the open road.

Great bike, if you plan on keeping it get a set of "JIS" screwdrivers. Those Japanese motorcycles have screws that look like Phillips, but they aren't. You will save yourself a lot of headache replacing stripped screws.

Check to see if it has had an alternator upgrade. The 28 amp oil bath alternator is prone to failure and no longer available. There is a kit available to upgrade it to the 40 amp air cooled unit. Also check the main relay ( red connector under a rubber boot) for signs of corrosion or melting.

i have had the same sort of story with my st1100. I would recommend getting some JIS screwdrivers to work on Hondas. They are so nice to use. Enjoyed the video tho

You are a Lucky Man. 200$ for a running ST 1100. You can go to the end of the world for almost free in that bike. I have one for 2 years now and can't stop of ride it

I had an ST1100 now have the ST1300 they’re great bikes. I’d definitely buy another 1100 for $200 what a steal

Excelente trabajo y que buen precio conseguiste!

Are you going to sell it after you get it runing?

clean the carbs

This happened to my bikes front break. My piston stuck due to grime and gunk. Fine steel wool or fine sandpaper to freshen them up and new o-rings did the trick

It is only two bolts holding the power steering hose on and tension clamp. Remove the power steering pump would help make work easier.

Lol. Yeet 16:29

Yea, sure.

This is actually helpful since im having the same problem only difference is that my car actually shot up to the point where it over heated and next thing i knew i heard a pop from the water pump and lost all power to engine.. so im actually following your video step by step to see if its fixable.. since every mechanic i talk to want to charge me a whole new engine and labor with out even diagnosing the problem first

i used a small flat bar gear puller to depress outward the cutch lever to get the push rod to seat on the lever an the slave body to slide up in its holder. the puller bar i placed inside the holder block as high as i could get it an the puller bolt i screw in until it was was inside of clutch lever an push outward enough to mount slave cyl. had to remove puller bolt out from the flat bar an carefully work the bar out an a few love taps seated valve an holding pin. 1990 f-350 7.3 . After a half a day laying on my back fighting the problem this work for me, 😀

excellent work. . Could you provide me with a link so I can buy the bushings you are installing...?

What scanner model are you using?

This is just like the doodlebug

How do you run to factory gauges

Hey the cause of this is the belt tensioner please replace or it will happen again!!

Enginetech has pistons P5089 $17.61 each plus rings

About to do this job. What does a machine job generally charge for refurbishing a bent valve head?

You got a link for this top?

Great video. I just installed my top this weekend and my configuration is the same as yours. NA with a NB top with a glass window. I didn’t know how to do the elastic so this video makes a lot of sense. What did you end up doing to make the elastic stay attached to the bows? Did the washers work?

Another way to tell about the intake/exhaust chain markings is theres 14 links between them, regardless of color.

Bro thank you for this video. I had the same ground cable connected to the alternator.

2005 SL500- same message, ABS light on, 2 malfunctions, Work Shop, Scan said to check front passenger side wheel speed sensor. I ordered a new speed sensor. Installation generally looks similar with one big exception. Removal of the speed sensor at the wheel is a big problem. Have you had to change out a speed sensor on an SL500 front wheel? If so you know the problem I'm trying to deal with. What a stupid design. I can't find any reference that has changed a front wheel speed sensor on an SL500.

I have same problem with axles. Any tips or just hammer it up?

Distributor plug for the six was near your Alternator

Hopefully theres not a main/rod bearing issue, id remove the oil pan to have a look at the bearings while you have it out. Good luck with the project, I just finished a similar project on a 2014 A4 2.0

Excellent video, What would you charge for this job? And where are you located?

Did you do or check valve lash when taking the heads off?
