Bought this week

[Marcelino]

First V-twin was CL400, back in 1993.
Second, and still present, is the VT500C (I love the sound of V-twins).
And now I just bought my third honda with V engine, this time with more cylinders and much more power )
I live in Lisbon, Portugal, and I picked it up last weekend in Boliqueime. This means that the first ride was 260km . Amazing ride!!! Now is time for a check up. I just realized my thermostat is stuck open since in highway the temp monitor marked only one unit. I guess this is a common fault.
It is from 2005 and has 37000km. Virtually new...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on you

My favorite color!



As for the thermostat replacement, got through the front, not the top.

My first ST1300's thermostat went out at 17,000 miles.





Good luck!

Nice find! And you got the fastest color too! Sure it's not an 04? I didn't think the 05s were the same color as the 04s...but maybe!
