Disaster, sadness, tears.

Ah STevo, commiseration and deepest sympathy over your loss.. That is heart breaking. Will you replace her with a sister bike?

[STeveo]

At some point in time I will, but need to save up a bit more first.

Bloody Disaster more like it... as we have all realised could have been a BLOODY BIG DISASTER at 100 KPH, with my ST 1300 having such BIG mileage I will replace that hose at the next service.. Perhaps your misadventure is a timely warning for the rest of us..

Sorry..

It was (unrecognisably, perhaps) an ST1100.

However, the ST13s also do have a bunch of flexible hoses linking the two tanks, which warrant inspection.  I'd think it's an age-related failure rather than mileage, though.

Yes but ST GEORGE posted and has a 1300 which showed a split in his hose (held with rusty pliers) so that was just a warning for me also..

True.  Forgot about that one, but remembered the pliers.   

Wet weekend here in sunny SE Queensland, so good opportunity to clean the K&N air filter.
That means taking off the seat, the tank bra and raising the tank which will give me a chance to examine the hoses.  They're five years old, and I'd hope for a lot more, but a look will cost nothing.
Compared with the annoyance of all the screws on the airbox and the pain in the arthritic fingers getting the tank bra strap under the front forks done up again, the inspection will be a pleasure.

STeveo! - glad you got off in time.

[STeveo]

So was I.   
 Still got a bit singed around the face, but ok now.

Replaced the 3 hoses on my 11 today, part numbers are,19656-MT3-000, 19657-MT3-000, 19658-MT3-000, visually all looked great, when I removed 19658 from the fuel shut off valve it was developing a split internally, externally I would have decided there was nothing wrong with it.
Cost of the hoses from Honda Shop was $26.65,Thanks Pezzz, (he paid for them), time taken was maybe 1.5 hrs, removing everything to remove the air box and then replacement was the time.
I would recommend all 1100 owners do this, a small price to pay for some peace of mind.

I'm sure you meant

16956-MT3-000
16957-MT3-000
16958-MT3-000

I went to put the parts in a wish list for my next order but the parts weren't found. Must put the sensor for the low fuel warning in that as well.
