I just picked up my wonderful 2003 ST1300 with 9,500 miles on the engine, and the bike is in PRESTINE condition. Thanks Chet in Reno!
BUT! After riding it back to the San Francisco Bay Area, I noticed during the last 50 miles that there was a light squeak coming from below the tank. It seemed harmless enough, like something caught in the body structure and was rubbing. But as I rode on, the squeak became more noticeable and seemed to have a bit of cadence with it (rythym with the engine) and deminished as I slowed down to a stop. It doesn't do it when sitting and revved.
I see some comments about the balance adjusters, but that sounds like it might be for the whine. This is NOT a whine, but like a squeaky old truck that doesn't make a noise in tune with the roadway (bouncing shock squeak, for instance) but actually is in rythym with the engine.
Any takers on this problem?? I could sure use the help. I parked the bike at home and want to ride to La Honda's Alice's Restaurant today but a bit afraid to! HELP!
