I have a 98 ST1100 with 89k miles on the clock. She is originally from the UK and an Ex Police Bike.
I have a few little issues I would like to sort out and have her running 100% i do have a bit of experience when maintaining and repairing bikes as my father is a Mechanic so i have learned a bit from him. However I will still list the issues in case I encounter some surprises.

- Metal rattle from engine top when cold??
- Rear shock set to hard but still quiet soft on the corners (OEM Replacement or upgrade??)
- Indicators are temperamental and need to be held on some times (Contacts need cleaning??)
- Idle hard to set right (Clean cable or Carb issue??)
- On some occasions she is down on power and idles rough (Carb clean and balance or maybe plugs??)
Also tonight on the way home from work the clutch lever became very light and was biting the very second I released it, before hand it would bite half way.
Fluid was very low so maybe a leak but I have noticed the clutch gets less response as it warms up
