A quick bump and thank you for this useful topic. A newish (to me) ST1300 that was starting to stall when cold became a real pain as the idle speed was unstable and the bike starting to stall at times when warm. A quick check and clean of the five way fitting and it's all sweet again.  :rd13

Well done with that- not many people actually find gunk in there, but when it's there, removing it solves problems.

"Cute" of you to say "a quick check".  For me it's anything but quick getting down into the guts of the ST.  First the tank bra has to come off. Then just wrestling the tank back past my bar risers is a struggle.  Then the real work begins.

It's issues like this that I'm glad I have an 1100 but even they can have carby issues as well

I have bar risers as well, I find as long as I back off the nut that clamps the back of the tank and the. Wiggle it towards the back of the bike as far as it will go before raising it I don't have a problem.

The air cleaner assembly came out ok, I found I had to disconnect the fuel injector cables to get my fingers down to the five way. Got it done in the evening after work, hour to an hour and a half all up. I consider that a quick job with no major mech components. YMMV
