ST1100 timing belt change

[@iordachestefan5656]

the belt is mounted in the opposite direction of the engine rotation starting from the crankshaft and the last time on the tensioning roller, this is simple and correct otherwise the timing goes wrong or you have to try several times until you put it correctly

[@fredoz04]

You should instal the belt anti clockwise from the crank, that means any loose belt is already at the tensioner.

I did mine last summer with the motor in the frame and no problems, takes about 3 to 4 hours start to finish. You def should get a new tensioner and guide bearing, that's the one you loop the belt round in the middle.

[@firejim5]

Thanks, the job is slightly more difficult in the frame and the belt cover can be awkward to remove. The manual says to remove the clutch cover first then remove the belt cover but it can be done without doing this. Jim.

[@ShineyOzSTOC]

Awesome video mate, thanks for taking the time to put this together for everyone :)

[@320ifq]

Thanks a lot for this .... Just considering buying a pan this video has put my mind at ease that it's not too much of a drama, nice one

[@jamescourt4703]

Great vid mate. Made the job look easy.

[@firejim5]

Cheers mate, long time ago now.

[@dkruitz]

Thanks for this - the manual is nice to have, but it's even nicer seeing it "in the flesh". I just did mine in place on the bike at 74,000 miles - only reason I did mine was because I was repairing the head from a stripped spark plug hole owing to a previous owner screwing it up. Still have your ST and is your still running well?

[@thomasedward9065]

Hi great video do you have to advance the advance the crank pully a few teth or is that optional has ive seen other videos and they dont do that thsnkyou

[@cliffmatthews6577]

What are the torque settings for the clutch cover bolts my friend ?

[@englishtwister]

I wonder how often they should be changed. I am doing a bit of research. Dad owns one.

[@firejim5]

Hi, it can be done with the engine in the frame, it's just a little more difficult. I think Honda recommend changing the belt at 90k miles. When i took mine off it still looked nearly new, but as i had the engine out of the bike it was a good opportunity to change it. regards, Jim.

[@eleuterioramalho6897]

In my humble opinion it is always better to perform the replacement with the engine off the bike, you have more control and more foresight in the execution. But the problem will be disconnecting many accessories, decoupling mechanical elements (drive shaft, ....) and lifting this engine, which shouldn't be easy.

[@firejim5]

Hi, I would change it if I were you for peace of mind, you never know when it may fail. It could happen tomorrow or it could last another 86000km you never can tell. Regards, Jim.

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

I could listen to your voice all day. :-) Great video. Just wish it could have been a start to finish in the frame. That was toooo easy. :-)

[@PowerOfOne-u4h]

6:50 to 6:53 my knees getting out of bed......

[@alexbonilla3696]

can anyone help me out, I have a 02 Honda st1100 non Abs. red light comes on when I come to a full stop also at low speed while in first gear. the m/c is still running and the red light goes away once I get into higher gear. m/c never stops running. Its just the red light coming on.. any help is appreciated. Thx

[@captlarry-3525]

they did the same thing with this engine they did with the 500/650 V twins put the clutch right up front !

[@eleuterioramalho6897]

Spectacular, fabulous technique as per the manufacturer's rules. this is how it should be done

[@ДеревенскаяЖизньБанис]

good day - I need your help I live in Russia in a deep village and we do not have spare parts for a pan of Europe, please send me a belt and a clutch for motocycle

[@Nathan-io1mu]

Thanks bro

[@spartan3956]

Hello firejim5 I've just replaced the belt on my 2001 pan thanks for the info on doing it went on a breeze Pete

[@JohnSmith-uy7sv]

What about replacing the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley? They don't recommend it??? I know on my toyota sienna 3.0 the timing belt has to be changed @ 90K and you have to replace the tensioner and idler pulley along with the water pump. What a job that is. YIKES! This is very simple compared to that. Great video.

[@KaldekBoch]

Also is this only an "engine out of the frame job" or can it be done on the bike.

[@internetpolification]

Nice one thanks

[@calvinfogue6747]

Thanks for what you doing. But I have a question for you. I ve just bought an st1100 the second shift is hard to get in and sometimes I would hear this noise coming from the engine like a spoon falling on the concrete floor. Please what it is if you know

[@firejim5]

Hi, the problem you describe sounds like a gearbox issue. This is possibly a worn or broken selector fork inside the gearbox. It is difficult to say for sure without seeing the bike. Hope you get it sorted.

[@motorosbandi]

Köszi a feltöltést!

[@firejim5]

@larrythelookout My pleasure. When is the next jigging video happening?? Jim.

[@biricasorin]

hi! i have an st 1100 abs 1997 with 86000km on board.Do you thinck i should change it?thancks

[@petebellpan]

Thank's very much changing mine next week will be more confident having seen your vid

[@benoitmax5451]

Il y a une video en francais?

[@tomwestwater8350]

I will give this a go and post how it goes

[@westsideGfella]

thank you for the video sir, it was very helpful

[@cliffmatthews6577]

Brilliant

[@n8dnil]

Thanks for this it will be a big help

[@TheMatrixcube]

good video ... so i take it there are no locktools for this engine then ? to block the cams and crank while changing the belt ?

[@firejim5]

Thanks for the comments, there might be a locking tool I'm not sure. I found it pretty easy to do without one, just double checked the timing marks before spinning the engine.

[@TheMatrixcube]

@@firejim5 thx for the feedback 👍

[@firejim5]

Yep, it was way easier with the engine on the bench!! Honda only recommend changing the water pump with the timing belt but at around £300 i didn't bother, mine was still perfectly smooth when i spun it. regards, Jim.

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

firejim5 I have controled my Belt at 93.000km, it has some play. Just wanted to ask, when setting the tennsioner pulley, should I also past the 3 marks and then do a 46Nm on a tensioner, or a should just align thr marks, loosen the tensioner and then tighteen to 46Nm? You have explained how tondona new belt, but I was wondering what is the procedure with an old one. Thanks.

[@biricasorin]

ps...the timing belt

[@Visionery1]

Nicely done! I'm looking at buying an ST1300, possibly a 2009 model.

[@134StormShadow]

They are chain not belt for the cam drives

[@Visionery1]

@@134StormShadow have since bought and sold an ST1300, kept it for one months, did just under 50km. Not for me, my days of riding heavy bikes ended with my GL1100 Interstate in '91, now I'm quite happy on a scooter.

[@ampsandguitars]

You make a great teacher Bud!

[@conanhayle]

thanks

[@haralaboslukatos6734]

In how many miles need replace the timing belt?

[@jimgraham8504]

Honda recommend inspecting the belt at 60k miles and replace at 90k miles. 👍

[@haralaboslukatos6734]

thank you for the answer. I wanted to go and look one honda st 1100 1992. Is have 52000 miles and i try found info about this years bikes. If is good bikes to buy.
