Hi from St Helena, VIC, and welcome to the Forum.
Hi Guys Pommie Paul here. Today is meant to be our hottest day (37 C) for 10 years. Cool by Oz standards I suspect.
... 37C is pretty hot in Oz, not pleasant riding conditions for most, although I have ridden in 45C on the morning of Black Saturday (before things turned BLACK) -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Saturday_bushfires - that was very unpleasant.
... I still haven't mastered the sensitive throttle control. Some may say replicated my bad habits 50 times!
I've added a G2 Throttle Tamer (no improvement), replaced/lubed the cables and reduced the free-play to almost zero. Since raising the issue with the ST-Owners Forum my throttle control has definitely improved (but not perfect). However, over bumpy roads I find it almost impossible to maintain a steady throttle so any advice would certainly be appreciated. Grip Puppies arriving today. Do all ST1300s suffer from this throttle issue? I never had the issues on my FJR1300...
There's a thread somewhere on the Forum re. an ECU re-set (or something like that), someone will be along soon to post a link to it. Wait a little while for that, if know one posts it, it goes something like this:
- Disconnect battery, let it sit for a while - overnight works for me.
- Reconnect battery.
- Start engine, let it idle on auto-chock until engine warms up and idle returns to normal revs.
- Swithch engine off.
- Re-start engine and go for a ride.
I might not have covered every step or in the correct order, but no harm can come from this, just a bit of incovenience removing and replace side cover and battery terminal, and resetting the clock, and for me changing the fuel consumption display from km/l to l/100km.
Don't know the technicals behind this fix, but it works for me.
