Hi everyone!
I'm picking up a very dusty fixer-upper '98 ST1100 ABS for next to nothing off of my boss.
Going to need a bit of work to get it running reliably as it has been sat in a shed and hasn't been started in 18 months or so.
I've so far compiled a list of jobs to get it going. I've been lurking the Facebook groups and have a bit of an idea on what I'll need to do.
Please let me know if there is anything else to consider! I've ordered a new timing belt already (original belt with 130k kilometres on it) so any information about how best to replace that would be great!
◦ Oil and filter change
◦ Air filter replacement
◦ Spark plug replace
◦ Replace battery
◦ Coolant change and line inspection
◦ Inspect and clean brakes front and rear including brake lines and master cylinder
◦ Clutch line flush (consider rebuilding master & slave cylinders)
◦ Brake bleed
◦ Carb remove and clean
◦ Check elbows and O rings under carby
◦ Check valve clearances
◦ Timing belt change
◦ Take off rear wheel and inspect final drive and grease
◦ Inspect steering head bearing
◦ Inspect fork seals
◦ Inspect fuel lines
◦ Replace fuel filter
◦ Inspect wheel bearings
◦ Inspect swing arm bearings
◦ Replace tyres
