Very embarassing :fp more piccies here. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110642315369112237595/albums/5897325136630942833 (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110642315369112237595/albums/5897325136630942833)
This can happen to your ST if you don't grease it

Anyway i decided to do a bit more work on the old girl because she has been neglected over the years i'm about half way through the work, was going to strip and rebuild the engine until i priced up the parts :eek forget that.
Piccies so far here http://my-mc-phoenix.blogspot.co.uk/2013_06_01_archive.html (http://my-mc-phoenix.blogspot.co.uk/2013_06_01_archive.html) and here https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110642315369112237595/albums/5894120063986719633 (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/110642315369112237595/albums/5894120063986719633)
Ps the ST is running sweet as you would imagine. :rockon
-
:crazy Holy rust batman yes robin always lube the shaft :eek
-
Full credit to you for the major strip down and rebuild. The poor old thing looks like it spent time in the ocean.
-
Thanks Keith,
Last night I was thinking of your 'wing when the final drive post came up on here.
-
WOW! Incredible pics thanks Keith. :thumbs
Looks like she's going to be a whole new girl soon.
That was SPECTACULAR weather to break down in. :'(
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Diesel

Best summer we have had for a few years i was riding along listening to some music thinking how lucky am i 8) then the grinding noise :fp
Most of the work has been easy enough but parts are bloody expensive still a few jobs to do then turn the garage into a spray booth she is going to be GOLD 8) if all goes well might do the ST1100 next year. :wink1

"Gold". Good choice. I suppose it would be boring, but it seems a shame there are so few gold coloured ones. It's a bit like the Honda Blackbird that can be found in almost every colour but black.
No problem, with STs. They should be red, logically.
-
Thought I would bring this up to date should have done it as I went along sorry for that :-[ anyway taking things apart is easy. :wink1
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hwRApKZfbWw/Ue02Lc51I7I/AAAAAAAABt4/piPKEOz0wWY/s800/DSC_0093.jpg)
It was going to be a complete strip down and rebuild but when I got to this stage the wiring scared the crap out of me. :eek
So up to know I have changed =
Wheel bearings
Head race bearings
Brake discs & pads
Resealed all brake calipers
Stripped cleaned and re-bushed the forks
Rear shock absorber bush's
New swingarm bearings
Timing belts and tensioners
Rear wheel dampeners
Second hand drive shaft + new seal
I'm sure there's more that I cant think of at the moment.
Had these parts shot blasted and powder coated

Tried to get a few prices for painting but nobody would touch it there are 40 panels so I will have to do it myself which meant investing in a compressor and spray guns. :p

A mammoth task Keith which I'm sure you'll be thankful for in the end. This thing will last forever after this job.
-
Great job there Keith :thumb Too late to turn back now! makes me feel lazy for not getting the old Suzuki out and doing something. I will have not many excuses when I have the space freed up for such projects.
-
AWESOME WORK :-++ :-++ :-++
I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapter :thumbsup :thumbs
-
Nice job. A mammoth task, but worth doing. Very satisfying, I'm sure. Well done.
-
Nah, wouldn't happen in Australia, you need moisture for rush... It's just too bloody dry...
-
Moisture :rofl we have lots of that.
-
There are some places in drought haven't had rain for 2 years.
But, the not rusting was just a joke on my part....
-
There are some places in drought haven't had rain for 2 years.
Understand its amazing you are having these draughts and here in southern England we have houses under 8 feet of water.

Hi Keith

WOW! GREAT (tragic) shots there Keith - considering how flat the surrounding land looks - one can only imagine how many surplus megalitres must be present to raise the water level THAT far! :eek
Thanks for sharing - hope all fixes itself as quick as poss.

That rear plate comes out for wheel removal :rofl not with a Wing it doesn't.
Pushed it on on my own but I will need a hand getting it off, the table isn't wide enough for the sidestand.
I will have to cobble something together so I can stand level with table.
-
Very flash looking bike table/trolley.
Some of the boys on this forum have modified their table/trolley's as well. There are photo's showing same.
I did see somewhere, a bloke used an old cordless drill attached to the front wheel clamp screw and just extended the trigger wires, so he could operated the drill from the saddle.
-
Now i have the lift no excuses for not getting some work done.
Couple of jobs i have been putting off gear shaft oil seal which i am told is a common fault on the 1500 and a snapped exhaust stud.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-9gjWgIQ1lIw/UxRwTo8yEOI/AAAAAAAADG8/aHAPOwCiegI/s800/DSC_0439.jpg)

Apparently the Wing will run quite well with the timing out since buying the bike i have done about 2500 miles with no engine problems at all, runs well doesnt over heat mpg is about right. So i was surprised when i changed the timing belts and tensioners.

Left hand cylinders one tooth out but ran sweet go figure i have set it up correctly now just hope it will run when i get to start her up. :grin
-
A bit of corrosion in there Keith! The timing is really not out by much, but being right should help.
-
So much excess power that one cog made little difference. You might pick up one mile per gallon in economy now it's just right.
-
A bit of corrosion in there Keith!
Common over here even in the garage both bikes are full of condensation the Pan is actually worse under all that plastic.
-
Also did the fork seals as both were leaking its got progressive springs with a secondary spring inside the main, i haven't seen these before and haven't been able to find out who makes them.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-e5_8JAaoGWI/UlFrAg3pR0I/AAAAAAAACeU/P_w-T9VliYQ/s800/DSC_0257.jpg)
They don't stick out very far but were a pig to get back in without the special tool took two one to compress the spring other to screw the cap in.

Did the head races while at it there was a notch in the steering right in the middle 100,000 miles mostly in a straight line. :crackup
Special tool for knocking out bottom race ie old chisel
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-F0gIIiPW9S4/UlK4jAODobI/AAAAAAAACfA/UfsG_4kaV98/s800/DSC_0261.jpg)

Had a job getting this one off without the special tool used a grinder to cut a cross very carefull not to go all the way through then a good tap with a hammer and chisel and it fell off.

Keith - this thread is something special. I personally look forward to each installment and LOVE seeing the ST1500 thread in the "unread topics" with a little "new" dinkus next to it.
Can't thanlk you enough for taking the time to photograph each little step as i know what a pain it can be when you just simply want it to get done. ++
Well played sir. Well played. :-++
Cheers, Diesel

These bottom corner lights caused me a headache when i got this bike the previous owner had wired them into the sidelight system.
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6devJx0d0c4/UqHx33JUBEI/AAAAAAAAC1w/XscUfzy68yY/s800/IMG_1053.jpg)
After a few weeks of owning the bike i lost all sidelights checked the fuse and found a 30 amp fuse in there :-((( should be 15 amp. The sidelight switch had melted :fp also some of the wiring and connector.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-cxhJiEBmsFo/Uc2u_isDgyI/AAAAAAAABfA/fBYihFa6JgM/s800/IMG_0898.JPG)
At the time i got a new switch and just disconnected the lights now its time to sort it.
The reason it melted the switch is these strange bulbs
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JcesBxovYyw/UqHwcz6lC_I/AAAAAAAAC1Y/_yn1CCUi6uQ/s800/DSC_0379.jpg)
They are dual element 35w/35w but only one element wired up god knows why no wonder the switch melted.
Took the units apart and decided to replace with Led's
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7J5SUeVqh44/UqHwccS3BgI/AAAAAAAAC1Y/Pk8KC-pZHY8/s800/DSC_0380.jpg)

I will probably wire these into a seperate switch.
-
The proper way to control the lights (previous owner that is) would have been to use the switch to activate a relay. Stil, after seeing some of those UK worst DIYer shows, it doesnt surprise me much :eek

Fingers crossed time tightened exhaust clamps but i am not happy with the joints from collector box to silencers they are both Motad but don't seem to match.
New plugs and air filter connected battery :eek bastard alarm went off about 3 inch away from my right ear now partially deaf try again with the alarm fob in hand. |-i
And she is running 8) but blowing from both silencers :fp anyway just happy to have her running was a bit worried after all the wiring i have taken off.
Need to sort the silencers but listening to her tick over i'm happy 8)

Keith, I thought you might like to have a squiz at what I've done with my bike lift, the timber platforms either side of the stand simply lift out of the way once the bike is on the stand, I have cut a section out of the platform so I can drop the side stand prior to lifting on to the centre stand. I ride the bike up in first gear slipping the clutch and walking up on the timber ramps, I also use the ramps for when I'm servicing my car so they're multi purpose I guess. It only took me a couple of days to make up the platforms and ramps and they all work very well. I don't require any assistance putting the bike on the lift or taking it off, when taking it off I simply walk it backwards using the front brake to control my speed going backwards.................hope this helps!! :grin

Ha ha that's what i thought but the PO had done some rewiring he is a carpet fitter and it shows in his wiring skills. Wot thuh
I don't envy you when it comes to rebuilding the panels (and there are plenty of them).
Front end wiring is the same i think he had a roll of red wire because everything he put on is red even the earth. :crazy

WoW Keith what a gold mine ..... Looks like you've stumbled across Aladins cave
-
A naked gold wing is very intimitating. So much work. I hope you get your rewards in the end.
How much was that bike bench ? Looks very practical but maybe digging a pit in my carport is better and cheaper.

Do you have Novus Auto Windscreens over there? They have three grades of paste for polishing out scratches in perspex. Be aware that motorcycle screens have a thin hard coating which, when removed, will leave the softer perspex more vulnerable to damage.
