My Pan European ST1100 has 154,000 miles.The rear two cylinders are low on compression so i have brought another low mileage engine that has done only 70,000 miles.I have replaced the timing belt for a Gates belt as its cheaper than the Honda one. I have checked the valve clearances and fitted new plugs to the newer engine. I shall replace the coolant pipes + oil & filter as well. Im just waiting for a good opportunity to change them.

How low is low ? Also, did you lift the carb slides when you were checking the compression ? If not, you may get a low reading. I would double check the compression if you didn't. There may not be anything wrong with the current engine.

I'm bringing this thread up.

What @Sportourer, from New-York state, has achieve, in the fall of 2015, is really awesome.

400 000 miles / 643 737 kilometers
on his 98 ST1100.

The ST1100 is really... an incredible bike.

Thats alot of miles. Im new to the st1100 world but glad to have joined. They really seemed to have hit the nail in the head with building the st1100 , 1300 as well . With typical regular maintenance and a little TLC . 100,000 plus on these bikes is nothing. I have some serious riding to do. Olny 10 miles under my belt as i write this. Thanks for posting eveyone was a interesting read !

Who has/had the highest mileage ST here? What I was looking for was no engine overhaul or transmission work..just the normal things like brakes, wheel bearings, etc. I had a look on the search and found an archived topic about the highest mileage topic that was back to 2009.
2004 st honda 1100 350000 all highway long haul Australia last import from western Australian police force

Our 1991's approaching 23,000 miles. PO garaged parked it for 20 some years. Doesn't help that we also have a 2006 1300....which was also garage parked for who knows how long and is nearing 18,000 miles.
