What Year Did ST1100 get the 40A alternator

[jfheath]

Am I right in thinking that the 40A alternator was introduced from the 1996 model ?
Brother is looking at an ABS ST1100. He thinks it is 1996.
All he knows at the moment is that it is green !

The 40A unit appeared with the introduction/release of the ABS-II/CBS model, which was '96...

Thank you sir !

And the 40A model is the most current.

Not clever enough to know if it's correct information..

It is in 96. I have one

You can have any color you want as long as it’s black when living in the US.

2014 or at least that's my best guess. That's the date all over my bike with white chalk marks on all the bolts.

Mine is red

Pure Pearl Red 3 consecutive model years 1995-97 for the USA.

Yes, but there are more consecutive years where black was the only option. It was Henry Ford’s favorite color.

If it's Tasmania Green John, it'll probably be a 98 ST1100W.

Aye - I've got more info now and discovered that one of the greens came out for 97 and 98. But it is indeed a 98 model. Looks very smart. It has ABS/CBS/TCS - just like my ST1100AY was. But he has yet to check the swinging arm, and he says that the ABS light doesn't go out. So there is a problem there somewhere. I've told him how to get the fault codes, and how to test each of the sensors simply by spinning the wheel.

I don't know if anyone came up with a replacement for those sensors - that is if he can get it out of the bracket without snapping the bracket off. Neither do I know if the ABS light being on would be an MOT failure. I don't think they can test for that without riding the bike. He has a lot of soul searching to do...... But to be honest, he is unlikely to find one in better cosmetic condition than this one.

The very best color!

HAPPY BIKER (?) in the UK (if they still have them) 'retroed' newer sensors to work on the ST1100 ABS.
I think @kiltman dealt with them and was very satisfied.

 

[kiltman]

Yes these are the guys I dealt with. Good product, good install instructions.

Some of the Tasmania Greens were in the showrooms early enough for 97 registrations, I've seen them from 97 to 99. It would seem he also has sensor availability.
Lucky kid.
As regards the MOT I think it's a bit of a minefield. I think as long as it looks complete with no sensor wires broken etc it should pass. Some older stations still get away with gradient tests.
