Stock ST1300 Horsepower

[805gregg]

My buddy has a Kingpin, his specs didn't show HP either, but the sales guy told him it was 75.

That's lack of HP.

Can any of our brothers across the pond confirm the engine size on the Pan? Bikez says its 996cc? And that it makes more HP and torque. Are these stats calculated differently over there?

Dunno where they got those '06 numbers, but the displacement for all years is 1261cc.

I know the ST here in the states is 1261cc, just wanted to confirm the size of the Pan. I thought maybe they had a CC restriction in the UK/Europe.

Maybe thats the difference between the European "Pan Euro" VS the North American ST1300.

Just remember that we buy HP and drive torque.
As was mentioned the STs have great torque...

Translated for our metric friends: We buy kW and drive nM.

What if I want both?

Looks like you have that covered with your '03.

Life is just more simple when the torque and HP numbers match:

I could live with an ST that has 120HP and 120 ft. lbs. of torque.

Ray, are you saying the OEM pipes weigh that much more! WOW

The Staintunes still need to be pivoted out of the way for axle removal.

The Staintunes weigh apx. 1/2 as much as the oem pipes. It's a decent weight savings, especially that far back.

So, I guess you still have to move them with either the TB or Staintunes.

The French have a 100 HP limitation, but that's pretty easily achieved in the ECU.

It may be different for the 1300, but on my 1100, I just remove the lower mounting bolt for the rear shock, which drops everything enough to allow the axle to come out underneath my STAINTUNES.

Has anyone tried that on a 1300 yet?

Oh, and to keep this "on thread": confirm the HP @ 114.1 / Tq @ 83.5 according to "Motorcyclist" - 11/07

Hmmmm...That's odd...Are you being serious?

I can remove the axle, with out moving the Staintunes. It is very close but can be done. On mine anyway. Ritch

Yup, dead serious. You can't register a bike that develops more than 100 HP in France.

[bygdawg]

Well...That just sucks.

Ray

The stock pipes contain catalytic converters to meet the 2008 California rules. Bike would probably fail a smog test without the stock pipes. So the weight savings will dirty the air a bit.

 

[Frank Cerynik]

Of course the Blue ones have more HP

 

[Mark]

Well...That just sucks.

Only if you have to own an ST in France...
I suspect you are safe from having this problem for a couple of years...
