Hi Azi and welcome to OzSTOC from yet another South Aussie. I'm sure we'll meet at an RTE. :hatwave

Thank you kindly guys and girls. I actually have a few technical questions but thought it poor form to ask them straight away as a new member. I'll try to upload a few images when I get time. It's immaculate, and a credit to the previous owner.

Welcom Azi.

Good to see another Red ST going to a good home.
I mean, a garage that tidy must be a good home. Pity help anything in my shed- it's survival of the thing on top...

OK, here are some photos of the scooter.
I was actually searching for a 90s sportbike to relive a misspent youth - either a 1996 ZX7R or a 1996 GSXR750 (very specific!). The search was futile. The only ones available were either victims of serial abuse, or priced into the stratosphere by hopeful sellers. This ST1100 fell on my lap at the right time and right price.
37000km. That is not a typo.
Happy puppy here :)

The dark screen looks very good. :thumb

The ST looks in immaculate condition.
You wont be disappointed.
Good pick up Azi

I'm not a red person in bikes, but that's sensational, and the dark screen does add to the effect ;)

Looks Awesome Azi, thanks for posting mate :thumbsup

looks good Azi and they go good at 220 ks

It looks great Azi, and red is faster isnt it. Certainly I was only allowed to have a bike again if it wasn't red. Cheers

Hmm, I am intrigued by some of your comments about the tinted screen. Are you saying that tinted screens weren't standard?
Here's the embossed code on the screen:
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/azicat/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0821_zps03d86e17_1.jpg) (http://s87.photobucket.com/user/azicat/media/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0821_zps03d86e17_1.jpg.html)
And while we're talking non-standard parts: here's the right hand switch block. I assume someone stuck a police spec switch block on it at some point in time?

:think1 you got a X police model? has your speedo got 2 k's increments
my ST1100 :dred11 is a red X police :grin it also once had a tinted screen :thumb
-
Welcome Azi . . I think you'll find the bike is an ex-police bike and has been resprayed red, still a great buy and a great bike.
Does it have ABS and is the speedo marked in individual kilometres rather than 5 & 10 k calibrations? Individual kilometre markings usually means expolice or NRMA bike.
-
The plot thickens.
Here is the speedo:
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/azicat/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0823_zps7650891e_1.jpg) (http://s87.photobucket.com/user/azicat/media/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0823_zps7650891e_1.jpg.html)
There is no ABS on the bike.
It would be cool if this turns out to be an ex-police bike. That would mean it's got the mega alternator. I haven't had the chance to strip the plastic off yet to look underneath.
This is like dating a new potential partner. I am slowly discovering the deep dark secrets, for better or for worse.
-
Azi,
That is definitely a speedo of a Police Bike. Does it have a headlight adjuster on the left hand side of dash?
The other obvious differences if it is an ex service bike will be a voltmeter in the dash instead of the headlight adjuster, the paint colour tag on the frame under the seat will be NH138 for Shasta white, and there will be a loom up under the rear cowl under the seat with 2 multipin connectors ( 6 pin and 9 pin from memory) and a heap of single wires with bullet connectors on them, and a thicker rear disc brake.
Enjoy the bike, they are fantastic.
Hope to catch up with you on an RTE when im back on a bike.
-
Another obvious for an ex service bike would be the switches on the left hand cowl beneath the pocket will be marked with a triangle for hazards and a "6". Looks like your headlight switch is broken ( or modified) on the right hand switch block. It should be marked with a filled in circle, a "2"and a "3". the 2 is a fixed position but the 3 is momentary.
-
Here is the headlight adjuster:
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/azicat/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0824_zpsa5af2508_1.jpg) (http://s87.photobucket.com/user/azicat/media/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0824_zpsa5af2508_1.jpg.html)
And here is a volt meter:
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k140/azicat/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0825_zpsb1797dc0_1.jpg) (http://s87.photobucket.com/user/azicat/media/Motorcycle%20stuff/IMG_0825_zpsb1797dc0_1.jpg.html)
I couldn't find any paint codes under the seat. The headlights are switched with the '. 7 8' slider, whilst the rest of the switches don't do anything.
-
Some one has done some mods to the bike, headlights should be hard wired on. Also if its ex police there should be a volt meter where the headlight adjuster is.
-
What's the best way of finding out which alternator is installed? My understanding is that the civilian 1995 model had the 28A, whilst the police had the 40A.
Postscript: looks like I've managed to establish the bike as a Police model by doing a VIN check. According to cmsnl.com, it's a 1995 ST1100P.
Happy days
