Howdy gang,
In the ongoing saga of my ST1300 repair from my garage collapse, after I got it running and took a test ride, I got an ABS fault. Then, it developed a worsening squeak from the front end. My garage is not fully reconstructed (Oh the joy of living in a rural area) but it was at least covered with a partially complete roof. So after a long lapse, I grabbed my ST1300 out of my neighbor's garage and started playing around with it. It turns out the ABS ring was tweaked. I don't object to buying new parts but those are far away. So I hammered and tweaked that ABS ring for 1/2 an hour or so with vise, hammer, and pliers; and got it much closer to the original shape. With trepidation, I fitted everything back together and voila' it worked. I got it close to the original shape but it definitely wasn't perfect. Last issue is the weeping fork seal. I turns out my Risk Racing Seal Doctor is at my other house. Since I'm heading there soon, I'll wait and grap that for the hopefully final fix. I'd still like to get in a ride up and down Beartooth Pass before snow flies.
