Yep, nailed it.
I recently bought myself a cheap compression tester and tested my ST1100, and came up with values around 140psi, engine warmed up and throttles...
The compression spec is 200 psi so your numbers are well off. Are you using the compression tester correctly or does it have a fault?
Upgrading the brakes is a tricky prospect (I have no idea what else might fit easily) but doing basic maintenance (new seals, lubed slider pins)...
The fan is independent of the FI system and runs off a temperature switch mounted to the radiator, usually switches on at 100C or thereabouts....
Great looking bike, I bet that confuses a few poeple. 9L/100km is pretty low but might depend how you ride. I see more like 6-7L/100km, less at...
The manual I have states it is for 98-01, and lists some different cam lifts for CA vs the rest of the world, but no difference for the different...

That sounds like some sage advice.
The steering lock is a pin (about 8mm diam IIRC) that projects out of the lock mechanism and engages with a socket in the steering head casting....
I know the ID will be 37mm, so I believe that these look correct: 37x50x11...
This one will fall into the category of a Resto-mod, keeping the spirit of the original but adding some modern touches. That is an approach that I...
I'm sure you're right about this Doug, but wish I had worked it out before on my ST1100 engine when I changed the water pump. I found out the...
Well, none of THAT applies to me (at the tender age of 54...). That'd be my Winnebago on the right... [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] All of the above applies to me. Thanks for making me feel really, really old NCB!
15.3kg/mm is also what the stock shock should be (according to the Racetech website). Do you have any issues with setting the sag on your current...
Wowza, that looks like a weapon James! I could see myself on one of those.

I had a post-posting thought, "heavier" springs may well equate to straight rate springs instead of the progressive springs that Honda's usually...
Good job on the explanation NCB. You're asking a tricky question Stray, and I think starting with the stock 180mm compressed/springs out and then...
