Oh man, you had to work for that. Talk about tucked away ha ha. Good work, saved yourself a fortune and a whole heap of work in the long run. Anyone with a similar problem would be well advised to have a look at this, it's worth investing a few hours to investigate. Another bike saved
There's a drain hole for the V that can get blocked over time that's under the thermostat. I had no idea either that this was a issue with the ST1300, was just lucky that others shared their knowledge. 👍
I purchased a used 2003 that was seized from no oil. Broke it free and had a bottom end knock so in the process of dropping the motor. Been debating if I should remove the throttle bodies because of all the plumbing and wait until the used engine I bought of e-bay arrives and do the swap on the ground. This helped me know what is involved if I decide to remove them before trying to drop the motor. I could only find 3 of the 4 clamps to the throttle body rubber boots until I watched this. It looked like #3 cylinder didn't have on until I watched your video. Anyone ever drop a motor with the throttle bodies still installed as that is preferable for better access on removing/replacing them. Also,(what tool, special pliers?) how did you get the large stiff rubber hose off the tank that bents towards the rear of the bike.. I can't seem to get that loose and probably will just leave the tank installed for the removal if I can't get that off and more importantly know, it will be easy to get back on. Thanks.
Will be a great project, good luck with the swap. Used swan necks to loosen the pipe. In a way I would have liked to have dropped the engine just for the experience, think it maybe tight with the throttle bodies still on and might just give a lot more space with them off.
@@malkauczok66 unfortunately they are known on these as well. Personally I would try to avoid leaving it for long periods in wet conditions without running 👍
Sweet. Thanks for documenting for the rest of us. Hope it’s all fixed and running now!
@@GodzillaGoesGaga hi, thanks for watching, it's all finished and it has a very happy owner 👍

Thanks mate, always learning. Do love these bikes, they are very sturdy and with a bit of love will go on forever. Shame they discontinued them.
You’ve done well considering it’s your first ST. Good luck on the rebuild. Haynes manual ain’t expensive and can help a lot
Thanks actually my second ST1300 (videos on the channel) but the first one was a lot more cosmetic so still learning 👍
i do them for £169 part ex they go like that normally due to the blocked drain hole at the front of the V
20:21 slippers are perfect

I have my second st1300 never heard of this problem how is it possible that it gets so seased?!?!? Great job mate!

Might make sense to present what's wrong with the bike at front? What the symptoms are.
I thought that the alternator was only an issue on the 1100....! I have just got me a 1300 with 55k miles.... should i be worried..?????
@@malkauczok66 unfortunately they are known on these as well. Personally I would try to avoid leaving it for long periods in wet conditions without running 👍
How many miles/kilometers on your bike when the alternator failed?
@@jamesharkness1058 sorry James, with so many bikes on the channel I can't remember. Think it was around 30k but not sure 👍
Great video mate
