I have a few extra ST1300 parts laying around. I could send them to Rick. We could all pitch in and help that poor bike out.Looks like it needs a facelift too.
At least it's the right color...
Kinda like an ugly girl friend.....not much to look at but fun to ride. You know about that don't you Scooter:crackupLooks like it needs a facelift too.

Thanks for the advice.Clean the connections from the stator to the VR (2 of them)or they will burn the skinny wires if corroded.
Trade that old ST in on new RT and never look back.:bmwkick1Rick I have a DR650 that I bought as a second bike. One I could throw in the back of my truck on my 7 days off and go wherever.
I will have had it 4 years this January. In February 2015 I bought a 2012 BMW G650GS I thought I would replace my DR650 with. It just didn’t fit me. But it was a fun little bike to ride. That motor could not touch my DR off the line. But would smoke it in on the top end.
I only kept the BMW 6 months. I traded it in on a new Triumph Tiger 800XCX. One of the most fun bikes I have ever owned in my life!
I still have the ST. Thinking real hard about a new RT, the Tiger and the DR650. I just can’t get rid of that little bike. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Sometimes it is nice to grab a 400 or 500 lb bike instead of a 700 plus pound bike.
They all three put a smile on my face when I ride them. I just have options now of what I can do when it’s time to ride.
I’ll bet you enjoy that bike the more you ride it.
That old outdated ST has 91K of trouble free always get me there and back miles on it.Trade that old ST in on new RT and never look back.:bmwkick1
Keith, when I started looking for a second bike I looked at a few dr650s, honda xl650s and suzuki 400s. Then I woke up and realized I am too old for an "adventure bike". There are not any good gravel or dirt roads near where I live so I went a different route. I am waiting for a warm day to take it for a long ride.Rick I have a DR650 that I bought as a second bike.
