I checked mine at 75,000 miles and found one exhaust loose and 3 intakes a bit too tight. At 25,000 & 50,000 they were in spec. It doesn't take long to check them if they are in spec. Takes a bit longer if they are not. I borrowed a shim kit with the tools from BuddyRich on this site. Don't know if he is still loaning it or not. I would suggest you check them just for peace of mind. Maintenence is cheep, repairs are expensive.

Add me to the list. I need all the help I can get. Jim in Phoenix

I have a 2001 ST1100 with over a 100,000 miles. Runs today as it did when it was new. If I had not just bought a Royal Star, I would be interested. Maybe I am anyway............ Can you get me the guy's e-mail address. One can never have too many bikes if they can be bought at bargan prices. Over the years I have bought & sold a lot of them. Most I have ridden 4 or 5,000 miles and given then a little TLC and sold them for a bit more than I paid. Found some I like better than others. I think I will like the Royal Star if I can get the carbs sorted. Got one that wants to run over. Of all the bikes that have come and gone only the ST stays. It's a great ride.
