I am probably the most unlikely to solve any motorcycle problem guy on this forum. I am a snowbird who last weekend got on my bike after it had sat six months in my Florida garage. During an 18-mile run, the clutch was slipping progressively worse. I barely got it up my driveway and into the garage. Then I looked at this thread and found some true orifice expertise! I called a friend who was a longtime ST 1100 and 1300 owner and showed him the suggestions described herein. With a bent paper clip and a safety pin, within minutes we were able to behold the beauty of orifice number two! I just got back from a 40-mile test run and the clutch performed as admirably as in the previous 17,000 miles I have ridden since buying the 2004 bike almost six years ago. You folks have made me a very happy old man. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and wisdom.
