The windscreen on my 2005 ST1300 sporadically failed to go down. When it did go down, it never failed to rise fully up. It began to fail to go down more frequently, then finally failed always. There was never any indication that the motor was engaging and straining to overcome a mechanical block.
I recently took the ST to the local Honda dealer for brake, clutch, coolant flush/replace and final drive drain/refill. I asked them to fix the windscreen, suggesting it was an electrical issue, probably a sticky limit switch.
When all the work was done, the mechanic and manager said that they had taken the front plastic off, and could find nothing wrong. They said they could not get it to fail. On the way home, it worked just fine.
Less than a week later, it did not go down. Then it did once, and worked fine rising back up, then has since refused to lower.
Any suggestions based on these symptoms? Could be the left grip switch, no?
One of the limit switches sticking?
Help.
