Speedo is on the front wheel; it's an 1100

Hi Ppopeye,

Not an issue at all.  The ST1100 has the speedo driven from the front wheel, so as long as you don’t mess with the front tyre then you are good to go. 

Recently I put new brake pads in the rear and while the wheel was off I noticed that the lubrication on the spline was nearly extinct.  That’s a problem really with a tyre that seems to last forever.  There is no reason to have the wheel removed and spline lube loss could mean premature wear on the spline.  Yesterday I fitted a new front tyre and after balancing it thought I would go back and check the balance on the rear.  Although still lubed it was less that I might of imagined and I think I will need to schedule spline maintenance as opposed to tyre change.
