Ann's ST does this. The brake light sticks which issues an VSS error and then will send it into Limp Home mode. No she's not riding the brake. I could replicate the issue in the garage by pressing...

Wow, that's what I did and it stripped the threads! Don't know what to do now.

2013 ST Limited

I stripped the top left HCM bolt hole threads. I had the cover bolts cinched up at about the same torque as I apply to brake bleeders, then I applied 97 lbf-in (about 8 lbf-ft) to...

Was changing my coolant with the BRP green fluid and needed to get more for a good flush. Found out it's not made anymore and only orange was available at the shop. Ouch!


According to the...

Wish I had seen this before I stripped my HCM a filter cap screw this afternoon. I alternated the hex screws till I had them snug and then put 97 lbf-in (like oil filter) and oops, I felt it slip,...

The medium Loctite in USA is blue, Japanese medium Loctite is red, and BRP Loctite appears to be yellow. Is there a Canadian color? I find it interesting that most of the bolts I've pulled off have...

Summary: The brake flush was easy. I read everything in the forum posted about the task I was going to perform, there's a wealth of information. Said another way, there's some excellent advice. ...

Thanks for the correction and education.

You might consider contact cleaner and when dry contact lubricant from Radio Shack next time. WD-40 is a cleaner and not designed for electrical contacts. I use it to clean my shift and brake...

Hmm,, again yes and no. Let me count the connections to other systems before the battery from the diagram you provided:
1. To starter solenoid
2. LH fuse box
3. RH fuse box
4. voltage...

Went to the Kumho USA web site and couldn't find a bulletin confirming that this tire was discontinued. They did have other models they discontinued, but not the Kumho Ecsta AST. In fact they were...

A yes and no answer here. According to the electrical diagram in the service manual, charging through the booster post touches systems that are not closed off by the key switch in the off position. ...

Thanks so much! Kind of what I thought but I wasn't sure; it's why I asked. The manual was to vague or flat out wrong here. I'll do as you suggest. :thumbup:

I did torque the retention bolts to...

Since Ann had a regulator failure I wanted to avoid using any part of the electrical system to run a maintenance charge. So I ran a fused (2.5 amp) pig tail with ring terminals strait to the...

What was the 2013 debacle?

No excuses for leaving pets and children in hot cars. Here in central Texas where temps are 100+ just walking the dog in the afternoon sun can over heat them. They don't sweat and can't cool...

bump to top again. Surely someone has replaced brake pads and knows the answer to my questions. I'd be most grateful.

Could be gas. But,,,,,,,I have a horror story concerning the battery. :shocked: Ann's 2013 ST limited started experiencing long starts similar to your description. Days later down the road in the...

If you don't keep it on a battery maintainer, it's probably the battery. Your description fits what happened to Ann (wife). Put a multimeter directly on the terminals to test the volts. A new...

No! The amps arcing across those thin wires would fry them. :gaah: Use real jumper cables hooked to a car.

Ann has an 2013 ST with the battery just behind the frunk. I own an Honda ST1300. I hooked up a fused pigtails for both. They are generally long enough you can route them so you can get to them...

Bump. Really need someone who has replaced brake pads opinion on the part and torque. Thanks

Removed all the body panels. Summary: Panel bolts and nuts where missing along with some plastic washers. Recommend you take your panels off to inspect work performed.

Removing the mirrors was...

Are those the vacuum lines to the MAPS? Are there others that should be replaced?

I ask because I plan on replacing the MAPS vacuum hoses, silicone hose is in hand. I looked through the manual...

Already done thru AMA. Farmers love it and their lobby is huge.

I took the rear break caliper off and reassembled it. My 3 questions on reassembly references the manual's "brake pad pin" instructions. See picture.

1) The nomenclature referencing seems off....

That's really funny. Enjoy it!

I recommend making a Formal Complaint to NHTSA at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/

This is a continuing problem that needs a general recall and fix. How many pages now. Being...

The tool for this is called a Givi Tool for the Givi Mounting Kit (what the bolts are called). I can find no reference for this in the service manual; maybe I missed it. It can only be purchased...
