General Discussion / Re: ECU repair/dragging rear brake
« Last post by Trotts on May 26, 2024, 03:10:32 PM »
Took her for a run yesterday. As soon as the FI light kicked in over 4K it started running very rich. Didn’t help that the rear brake is still dragging a bit. I believe I have a blocked rubber hose under the tank. Bleeding the rear was difficult as the nipple was loose but fluid was hard to push through. Then it became free again. For a while I couldn’t get fluid to flow through the hose at all. I have rebuilt the SMC which when I pulled it to bit was like new inside. The brake doesn’t drag a lot but just enough heat the disc up a bit. Rear wheel does not spin freely on the centrestand. You can feel the drag. I have rebuilt the rear caliper as well. The bike had sat for 9 years prior to me getting it back on the road. 🤷‍♂️

Honda ST1300 General Questions / Re: Cold night, cold engine.

The thermostat could be stuck open, so that would cause the engine temp to be affected more by air temp due to unregulated coolant flow.

Yep- that might explain it, because, like others, mine never leaves 3 bars once it gets there (which is pretty soon after launch).

Despite what I said above, Lameroo doesn't hold much interest for me unless we get a good roll up. It's not the most interesting ride.
