2002 Honda ST1100A ABS

 

– 2002 Honda ST1100A ABS

Powered by a beautifully smooth and torquey V4 engine mounted longitudinally in the frame, and equipped with advanced ABS braking and traction-control systems that enhance safety and control in all conditions, the ST1100A makes no compromises in its quest to be the best sport-touring bike you’ve ever ridden.

Check out the wind-tunnel-designed fairing, the enormous 28-litre fuel tank, the quiet and reliable shaft drive, and the detachable hard saddlebags. High-tech, sporty and comfortable, the ST1100A is a milestone for sport-tourers.

Exclusive ST1100 ABSII Features
· Linked Braking System (LBS) combines with Antilock Brake System (ABSII) for a wide range of braking control. Traction Control System (TCS) is featured.
· LBS uses a second master cylinder and a proportional control valve to couple the calipers of the dual-front and single-rear disc brakes. Using either the handlebar lever or the foot pedal activates all three calipers, but the rider controls brake force distribution between the front and rear wheels depending on which control is used. Moreover, as the rider increases braking force and weight transfers forward, the proportional control valve progressively shifts the balance of braking force in three steps toward the front wheel.
· Delay valve minimizes fork dive when minor speed corrections are made using only the foot pedal, offering enhanced control and ease of operation on irregular or low-friction road surfaces.
· ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator which gives quick, precise braking-pressure adjustments and smooth ABS operation to minimize wheel lockup during hard braking on slippery surfaces. The system incorporates an integrated ECU controller, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function, and automatic protection against system failure.
· The Traction Control System (TCS) uses the same wheel-speed sensors used by the ABS to help prevent excessive rear-wheel slippage during hard acceleration or during acceleration on low-traction road surfaces.
· Large, 43mm cartridge front fork features Torque-Reactive Anti-dive Control (TRAC).
· Z-rated radial tires offer enhanced performance to match the machine’s touring capability and braking performance.

Engine
· Liquid-cooled 1084cc longitudinally mounted V-4 engine produces excellent horse-power and torque over a wide rpm-range.
· Shim-under-bucket valve actuation ensures high-rpm reliability and offers 25,000 kilometre valve adjustment intervals.
· Belt-driven camshafts for smooth, quiet, reliable operation.
· Four-valve-per-cylinder technology provides excellent combustion efficiency and high power.
· Four 34.5mm constant-velocity (CV) carburetors provide crisp throttle response at all rpm.
· Cassette-type five-speed transmission.
· Quiet and reliable shaft-drive system.
· Aluminum radiator keeps temperatures in check for consistent performance and long engine life.
· High-output 40-amp air-cooled AC generator allows installation of varied electrical accessories, and delivers substantial output even at low rpm.
· Clutch, main-shaft and drive-shaft dampers for reduced noise, vibration and driveline lash.
· Maintenance-free hydraulic clutch.
· Digital ignition system.

Chassis/Suspension
· Computer-designed steel frame is strong and positions the engine low for superb maneuverability and precise handling.
· Wind-tunnel-tested fairing with Honda’s Air Control Windscreen offers superb wind and weather protection, low noise and superior high-speed aerodynamics.
· 43mm cartridge fork with 150mm of travel offers a compliant, controlled ride.
· Torque Reactive Anti-dive Control (TRAC) reduces fork compression during braking.
· Single-shock swingarm-mounted rear suspension system offers spring preload and rebound damping adjustability.
· Wide, three-spoke cast aluminum wheels fitted with Z-rated radial tires (120/70ZR-18 – front and 160/70ZR-17 – rear).
· Dual 296mm front discs are actuated by three-piston calipers and the single 296 rear disc brake also uses a three-piston caliper.
· Roomy cockpit and ergonomically designed, dual-density seat offer true long-haul comfort.

Additional Features
· Enormous, 28.0 litre fuel tank is located below the seat for a low center of gravity and offers phenomenal touring range.
· Detachable, lockable, color-matched 35-litre saddlebags are standard equipment, feature fold-down carrying handles and can each hold a full-face helmet.
· Integrated fairing protectors for tip-over protection.
· Breakaway rearview mirrors.
· Fairing-mounted quartz clock.
· Padded passenger grabrails.
· Dual halogen headlights.
· Integrated front and rear turn signals.
· Fairing-mounted headlight adjuster.
· Full instrumentation includes fuel and temperature gauges.
· Integrated ignition switch/fork lock.
· Single ignition key operates all locks.
