Honda ST1100 Pan European engine removal and strip

- Episode 1
This is a different video for me to produce, the bike in question is totally standard and original ST1100 pan European.
The engine has a slight knock that I could feel and hear as I loaded the engine while the bike was stationary. Its not the usual clutch rattle so I decided to strip the engine and have a look inside. The bike has 17k miles on it so it will be interesting to find out what the fault might be.
In this episode I remove the engine and strip it down to the crankshaft inspecting parts as I go. I hope you enjoy the video and find it interesting.
This series is not intended to be step by step instructional videos covering every detail, but more of a flavour of what goes into a full strip and rebuild with the usual interludes in the kitchen and garden.
Thanks for watching
best regards - Allen Millyard - Авто та транспорт
Where have ya been buddy... Thanks for saving my life today.
I would watch you rebuild/fix/build/radically change just about anything! Absolutely first class stuff. Happy holidays and a brilliant 2023 to you and your family. Many thanks mate!
Agreed. I would happily watch Mr Millyard taking apart a three pin plug!
Agreed also!!!
Agree 100%
"Happy holidays" Merry Christmas you mean
Must watch the remaining sections, even though my road experience on my 2004 ST 1300 is minimal, just now finishing up major maintenance on everything except major engine work. Thanks for the wonderful presentation!
You may have already found the source of the problem in the oil pickup tube o-ring seal misassembly. Sucking up air with the oil could easily cause low oil pressure and big end bearing wear. Your determination to find the problem is admirable and inspiring. She will be better than new when you're done with her.
I’ve just received a big box of nos parts and gaskets 🙂
@@AllenMillyard Yay! I am looking for your next video 🙂 No cup cakes during Christmas?
@@AllenMillyard Cant wait for pt 2!!
Great teardown video looking forward to part 2
.
Surely you’d expect some cavitation marks on the oil pump if that was the case
I watch a lot of wristwatch repair videos and this reminds me those videos, lots of parts and fasteners only larger. Just like a disassembled wristwatch, it boggles my mind how this man can remember where everything goes in reassembly!...
You are the Bob Ross of mechanical engineering. It is impossible to be in a bad mood watching your fantastic videos. All the best
I was a Honda motorcycle dealer mechanic in the 70s. The bulletin came from Japan from Honda to the service departments of the dealers here in the USA.
when installing dry paper gaskets, get a can of rust, oleum, silver aluminum paint. Do not stir or shake the can. Scrape the thick paint from the bottom of the can and apply that to the new gasket both sides. When the area the gasket is going to be installed on is clean., install that gasket wet. That gasket should never leak, and, it will come off in one piece at the next disassembly…
I bought a quart of that rust oleum silver aluminum paint back in the 70s. I have been using it ever since on my dry gaskets such as, my valve, cover gaskets on my moto Guzzis.. anytime I have a dry gasket, I apply that thick gout from the bottom of that paint can to the gasket and I put it on still wet.. I have never had to scrape those treated gaskets or buy a replacement gasket, such as on my moto guzzi valve cover gaskets since.. I just had to be careful on engines that were anodized black that I didn’t use too much of the aluminum paint that would cause a run ..
I appreciate your meticulous video. Doing the video and the work must have increased the time it took by 90%.
any time you have an oil pump out or a new pump to install. It is a good idea to pack it solid with petroleum jelly to prevent initial start up oil starvation..i learned that from a long time factory schooled saab dealer mechanic..
I always crank
the engine on the starter with no ignition until the oil light goes out this ensures the oil pump is
primed before the engine is started
When i was a kid in elementary school, i used to skip first class to watch Mark Evans on his builds on tv, I only wish i could skip work to watch your builds.
Owned a 2001 ST. Great bike. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a video of the engine being removed and disassembled. Very cool. Couldn’t imagine the labour bill if a dealership performed this work. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Look forward to part two. Subscriber from Nova Scotia, Canada.
I thought it would be fun to strip the engine for a look inside
that's one of the reasons I decided to sort the problem, to have a look inside and video the processs
Allen makes it look so easy to pull the motor out of the frame. I wonder why people prefer instead to pull the whole back of the bike apart to get at a bad alternator- and still fight their way though it. Always a pleasure to see the work around Millyard's place!
Happy Christmas to you and your family and thank you for the entertainment you give us, this was unexpected and will get to watch it later. I can imagine you sitting down to a plate full of "turkey and stuffing cupcakes". Have a great day and to those who support you.
to help with the engine removal, i use a couple of the "windbag" inflatable cushion things that you get from. DIY, or online, on top of the wooden blocks...you inflate them, to take the engine weight, which makes removing mounting bolts a charm, then, with the bolts out, you can slowly deflate the bags; because they are 'soft', you can wiggle the engine about, as needed, while lowering it. when the bags are fully deflated, you can drag them out by wiggling the engine a bit. This makes reassembly a charm, too, since the air bags give you 'microscopic' control of the engine as it comes up to the correct position!
Superb work, Allen. You’re such a modest guy despite your top level mechanical skills. Thanks for posting this video: looking forward to part two 😊
You are a legend Allen. I wish I had the tiniest percentage of your skills. I’m struggling with a crf250l engine and you’re doing your thing. Amazing!
in the exact same boat as you, friend
Nice to have you back.
Allen - You may or may not see this but I'll post it anyway. I own 8 ST1100s of various years - 4 runners and 4 parts bikes. Between the 4 runners, I have over 470,000 miles in the seats of ST1100s (hoping to cross the 1/2 million mile mark next year). I have found myself having to swap engines twice - once because of a premature water pump failure at 139,000 miles and the second time it appears to be an oil ring failure (haven't dug into it yet but the engine smokes oil pretty badly, oil in the headers, etc.) at 45,000 miles on that engine. What I have found is if you remove the alternator before the final engine removal, it eliminates a lot of the 'wrestling' to get the engine out. Once you lower the engine a little bit, you can get to all three alternator bolts. And if you can keep the alternator 'gear' assembly into the engine and just remove the base alternator it becomes even easier. I found the issue was the alternator wants to hang on the gear shift 'ear' on the frame even after the lever is removed and the frame 'ear' on the left side at the right back gets in the way. I hope you don't have to remove another ST1100 engine but if you do, here's an idea that might be of some help to you. Your videos on ST1100s are top notch and are very helpful to me. BTW, I've ridden in your fair land many times and always enjoyed it (multiple write-ups on my website). I've even ridden Hard Knott Pass on a rental ST1300.

Some of the greatest things in the world come from skilled men in the most humble of sheds. A monument to blokes everywhere!!
I had a ‘99 for 10 years and did 173000 miles. Best bike i’ve ever owned. Most epic experience was spending the night in a Polish petrol station car park stripping down and rebuilding the cooling system by the torch light of the most awesome driver (who spoke no English). Turned out the system was fine and the temperature gauge was just grounding out. The most user-serviceable (big) bike I’ve ever owned
I had an ST1100, and stripped it down to the chassis once to get the chassis alignment checked. I was not game to take the engine out, and youv'e confirmed I made the right decision! The engine on these is bullet proof, so yours must be one of the very few that's been pulled apart.
The only thing i had to replace on my honda's all 8 of them, Clutches, Timing chain tensioners, and adjust valves when needed. And all 8 have seen track time, racing, daily driving, Street racing. A st1100, Valve adjustments, clutches, timing belt tensioner. Check gear lash on drive shaft. I have never torn a honda engine apart! I have abused my honda's from day 1 from the honda dealer. I am the only one in all of his customers that has a new bike and hit 190 miles an hour in the first 5 minutes after purchasing the bike with zero miles on it. Each of my honda's had minimum of 40 thousand miles. My 1100 blackbirds had 65 thousand miles each and top speed radared on the track 198mph. Even my moms 1964 honda 50 still runs, and my dads 1970 350 twin, motors have never been torn down.
How can you produce a video without taking a cupcake?
But hats off to Tracy.
Putting a titanium valve on the Christmas tree was a show of real appreciation and understanding for her husband.
Great.
Have a great......... rebuild
When you revealed your compassion for hedgehogs you won me over, finally subscribed!
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023 to all, thank you for all the content throughout the year, cheers
If anyone needs an hour long video for every single entry, it is you my friend!
Thank you for making the content throughout the year, all the best for 2023.
its a pleasure watching this man work
Thanks for a nice Christmas treat this morning. Always a pleasure to watch the master at work.
Feeding the hedgehogs, nice one. And love the Christmas tree decoration! Merry Christmas 🎄
Remembering where everything goes is genius in itself, absolutely love these vids .
I really appreciate the commentary as you go along with taking apart the components and explaining things. I know nothing about motorbikes but I find your videos both educational as well as amazing in terms of your skills and knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Allen
Great to see you back doing what you do so well. A real tonic!
Thanks Allen, video is a great Christmas present to all your fans. Working on the Honda has got to be far more rewarding than fixing nicknacks in Henry's back garden. 😁
Thanks Allen, you brought my Christmas day back into perspective with this fine video.
My compliments of the season to you, Tracy and all your family !
Woohoo, a new video from the mechanic master himself!
And I am the first to enjoy it!
Merry Christmas you all!
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas Allen, thank you for all the entertainment you give to us mere mortals, I have stripped down a few bikes over the years, but that pan would be a step to far for me, I don't know how you do it. Bloody marvellous. thank you.
To us mere mortals what you do is both mesmerising and brilliant. Can't wait to see the next video! Happy holidays to you all!
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to share a little part of it with us. Merry Christmas, Allan.
I really enjoy these strip-and-rebuild videos - very relaxing! Great hedgey cam footage, too.
I was born in NZ and one night I walked out and a mumma hedgehog was escorting her babies around our garden. Like your videos very much cheers.
Nice to see you back. Another really interesting series of videos to look forward to, eagerly awaiting the follow up. Your skills are amazing, not many would have dared to take on such a big job.
Nice to see V10 Over The Top in the background
I'm thrilled to watch you tackle this massive project. Your skills are off the charts. Love your explanations and the narration is awesome.
The cinematography and story telling just keeps getting better. NIce.
I wish I had a quarter of your skills! Brilliant to watch. Thanks Allen.
Enjoying this video. Looking forward to more on the Pan.
The engine looks clean inside.
Very enjoyable video. Can't wait for part 2 to see the clearances on the crank and con rods and what the bearings look like.
Great to have you back!👍
This was a soothing experience. Thanks Alan.
So happy to see a video from you!!
Another great video ! I love watching you work your attention to detail is second to none !
Always interesting videos, I like your explanation and the thought process behind the reasons for the work required.
I can watch this all day.
really liking the step by step explanations and narrations
That was great, very therapeutic...look forward to the next one...many thanks
Allen, I shall be following this series closely. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos.
Great Christmas viewing. Watching a mechanical genius at work is much better than anything on TV.
Great to see you back
Thanks for the great video Allen. All the best for 2023 to you and your family, cheers, John.
Thanks for the video , just perfect for my Christmas Day evening ,there’s something mesmerising about watching a pro dissemble an engine. Thanks again 🎉
Brilliant Allen! Just what is needed at this time of year.
Great vlog Allen, can't wait for the next part!
I owned a 98 Pan and although now sold and replaced . . .I'm watching with much fascination!!!!
An Allen Millyard video is what I wanted for Xmas.
Most enjoyable thing I have seen over Christmas! Best wishes for 2023.
Watching this reminds me of tearing down and repairing the gearbox of my 1975 gold wing. In fact it seems Honda kept a lot of their designs from that old bike through their other larger bikes. The ST motor reminds me far too much of the old CX5oo, but just going from pushrods to belt driven OHC. I feel a sense of dread when I have to go into jobs like this, but really as I start digging in, time passes and it's usually easier than I imagined it would be, and I chew right through it.
Clear and clinical thanks. Just the tonic I need this morning.
It's a Christmas miracle, my best prezzie of Christmas (so far) a Millyard video!
You are the main man
many thanks for being the sane person in a mad mad mad world & showing us inside our st1100 pan
My first Honda was a 1962 CA77 305cc Dream, which was simplicity itself to work on. It's mindboggling to see how much technology and design changed in the ensuing 40 years! Thanks for the great video.
I am really happy to confirm that you are well at the end of the year. I also build my own motorcycles, so I learn a lot from each and every move you make. Thank you for uploading the video, have a happy new year!
my lazyness would never let me seek a problem this way, its good that you are so thorough
Honestly Allen, fantastic! I'm looking forward to the re-assembly too!
What more can one ask for, Mr Millyard spreading peace and absolute calm, whilst I wait for erindoors to get a move on and get the feast prepared! She said we are having some lidle spiky pork road kill picked up last night after the carol service!
Thanks Santa..A new vid from AM... My reward for being a good lad in 2022 . A happy Christmas and new year to Alan and family from everybody who loves his work.. 👍🎅
Honda at their absolute peak I think. Great video thanks.
Happy Christmas and New year to you and your family Allen.
Many thanks for your time to film all your fascinating videos and to share your projects with us.
Look forward to seeing your videos next year.
Thank you, regards, Peter.
A testament to Honda’s bike design & manufacturing that you can buy a 22 year old bike and find, in the main, absolutely nothing wrong with it. It’s a helluva biker isn’t it? A friend had a Yamaha FJR1300 & that had the same kind of well-madman bulletproof feel to it all. It was bloody heavy, though my pal said the reward is that it feels completely planted at any speed. Much loved by some police bikers.
Another pal has had a few Pans and absolutely swears by them. Huge mileage fellow, he does a long, European mainland holiday tour each year. I find I no longer want to ride in the rain, though I did three wet days a couple of summers back and it wasn’t a problem. Less slippery than I’d remembered though again I wonder if the weight of it was a plus (Suzuki GSX1400).
Enjoy your Pan, Allen!
This guy has got to be the greatest mechanic ever. My skills are basically doing a service and changing brake pads... I'd give a kidney to have 50% of his knowledge and skills
What am I doing up at 6:00 AM? Watching Allen's latest video!
Wow, what a load of engineering. I wonder how many people were involved with designing just the engine.
It's a good thing you are re-assembling this. My memory isn't what it used to be.
Thanks for the holiday video! It's just perfect.
I salute you, Sir. I’d would never get that bike back together. Thanks for bringing us along
Goodness me, I wouldn’t know where to start. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻
Genius at work. I could watch for hours
An AM video on Christmas Day is the best present.
Wish I had 10% of the knowledge Allen has and the guts to pull an engine apart. ! Allen’s just an amazing mechanic !
Great Job! Waiting on Part 2!
What a joy.. I've been thinking of buying an st1100 for a while. ❤️
Love to see the new content, can’t wait for part 2
wonderful engineering, and superb production control
You certainly know your stuff when it comes to motorcycles. Always a pleasure watching your video's.
I've had a lot of motorcycles and my 95 ST1100 was one of my all-time favorites. It's such a great bike for long-distance travel.
Great video as always Allen. Your patience is admirable for sure. I’ve learned so much from you. That you don’t have to have a big fancy shop and tools to do the work you enjoy. I started working on my 800 Vulcan after finding your channel a few months ago. Now I have started my own channel. My first video is about my Nissan pickup. You are such an inspiration!! Merry Christmas from Kentucky to you and your family!!
I've missed your videos. Thank you.
Mr Allen is back with a New Project.
Superb as ever . The value of demonstration is immeasurable . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Great too see you back Allen love you’re video 😊
Love the way you just rip these things apart and everything is so organised. I'd be dropping / losing bits, coming up against things that just wouldn't budge, then when the suddenly gave way and launched themselves into the air trying to remember did that go this way around or that way around..... You make it all look so easy! Thanks - a great episode and really looking forward to finding out where that gearbox / engine noise was coming from.
I absolutely love how meticulous you are with everything, A true sign of a great mechanic.
You sir are my hero… seriously… I do look up to you….you inspire me…
You continue to amaze me how easily you strip this down and fully understand all the different intricacies of the manufacturers engines, not just one brand, but pretty much all of them. I’m on awe and plucking up the courage to strip my DT250 engine down soon and I don’t think you can get much simpler!
Great stuff Allen! 👍
