2005 Honda ST1300, Unique features - Powerful, liquid-cooled 1261cc longitudinally mounted V-4 engine produces 125 bhp at 8000 rpm and 85 lb./ft. of torque at 6000 rpm for effortless acceleration and passing power. - The 2005 ST1300 meets the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards. - Programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) and electronic digital ignition maximize power output and provide immediate throttle response. - Aluminum frame combines optimal rigidity and tuned flex to produce excellent handling, superb riding comfort and wonderful road feel. - A second model is equipped with an Antilock Brake System (ABS) for even better braking control. - Touring features include full-coverage bodywork, three-way adjustable riders seat, and two large, 35-liter detachable saddlebags. Windscreen height can be adjusted manually, and both models feature push-button, motor-driven windscreen adjustability to alter height and angle. Engine/Drivetrain - Compact, powerful 1261cc DOHC 90ยก V-4 engine with an oversquare bore and stroke of 78mm x 66mm. Longitudinal engine-mounting eliminates an inefficient 90-degree turn in the power flow for improved drivetrain efficiency. - The ST1300s low overall center of gravity contributes to improved low speed handling. The 360 degree crank contributes to a very broad powerband. Two engine counterbalancers virtually eliminate primary and secondary vibration. Both gear-driven counterbalancer shafts are installed in the lower crankcase, to the left side of the crankshaft. The first shaft is driven directly by the crankshaft at a 2:1 ratio. The second shaft is positioned below the first and is driven in the opposite direction by the first balancer shafts drive gear. The combination of these two balancers assures a supremely comfortable ride for the long-distance touring rider. - Aluminum composite cylinder sleeves are high-pressure-formed from sintered aluminum powder impregnated with ceramic and graphite. The composite sleeves provide better wear resistance and superior heat dissipation compared to conventional sleeves. - Silent-type cam-chain drive eliminates the previous models wider belt-driven cam drive, reducing engine length 10mm and lowering overall weight. - Large, 31mm intake valves and 27mm exhaust valves feed a combustion chamber with a 10.8:1 compression ratio. - Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals. - Four 36mm throttle bodies. - High-pressure PGM-FI delivers fuel at 50 psi into each injector. - Fuel is delivered through eight laser-drilled nozzle holes in each injector, producing a very fine spray and a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power. - PGM-FI combines a sophisticated throttle sensor, advanced 3-D digital fuel injection and ignition mapping and precisely metered fuel delivery to produce smooth and linear throttle response. - ECU-controlled closed-loop emis
