    Indeed. I'm sure our STens can handle a 7th gear. Then you can cruise at 180km/h at 4k rpm! [emoji1787] Sent from my Nokia 5.4 using Tapatalk

    Ideal RPM

    Below ek 3k rpm is the most economical, I found, but is difficult to do in 6th, staying in the speed limit and not feel like she's "labouring". Sent from my Nokia 5.4 using Tapatalk

    Flatter sweep by 4-5⁰ and 10mm higher is as close to the GSA1200's, which is perfect. The Protaper Contour Raptor is an amazing alternative. Sent from my Nokia 5.4 using Tapatalk

    Again, well done. That pump removal is a bloody PITA. I also have the teabag filter on scheduled replacement now. Also, do yourself a favour. Inspect the inside of the petrol tank. Mine is showing signs of rust. One contribution factor effecting the teabag filter negatively. I dread having...

    Many possibilities, I suppose. You have to tip the tank up and back to gain access to the sparkplugs. Perhaps it dislodged some debris and the fuelpump sucked it into the filter? You said the coils tested fine. So spark is there. Air not an issue? Other than than that, the fuel supply. Else...

    Hi Johannes. Where are you based? Regardless, my 2010 at about 45000km had similar issues and also did the whole spark plug swap (with Iridiums), even bought new coils. Eventually was the teabag filter in the fuel pump that was clogged. Had it replaced by an indy mech here in Cape Town for...

    How to check codes on a gen 1 ST

    The Workshop Manual (or is it the same as the Service Manual, the one with 660pages?) is easier to decipher. Once you get the hang of it, it is all clearer. Basically, the values, etc. is in the manual is the acceptable range, on/off or what it should be or points to the offending bit/part...

    Xt1200 2011 gear shift up sticky

    I found, on my 2010 1st gen, that when I "preload" the gearshifter, slightly, before shifting, it engages the gears much smoother. Not easy when you attempt it whilst standing, but possible. Sent from my Nokia 5.4 using Tapatalk
