Hello ST community! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I’m getting to know my ST. 2014 PD01
1. ECU “refresh” - changed a lot, motor runs quieter, smoother, no complaints staying above 4 k rpm. Before remapping, was gladly below 4k rpm. The drive mode T is fine and relaxing, in city no huge difference from single 650 ,
but S = smile mode, leaves no wishes, I know what I paid for
2. Air filter was quite dirty, >30kkm.So, installed new DNA filter, because of larger surface. And “found” easy mod on Airbox, easy to remove that inlet cover, that has 90deg angle to make suction port, that is covered heavily with hoses and cables.
3. Headers will stay OEM meanwhile, cat is “running away” and stock exhaust will have some relief in running channels..
4. Fork rebuild did by myself, thanks manual and YouTube help, bike had 65 kkm but nowhere mentioning in books (complete Yamaha service history) any intervention or oil change in forks. Well, to my surprise all bushings and gaskets were perfect, although oil was not clean anymore and showing some “silver” from the bottom.
5. Spark plugs… all original, just 8kkm but none of them had the caps for contact …
6. Looking for rear shock “service” upgrades, but not willing to spend 700-1200€.. any luck or measurable difference upgrading to ES version, as it looks with external expansion tank?
