If you have the time and the technology why not scan a copy of the article and post it. I would like to read it and I am sure others would too.

Just found it, actually, on my ten year-old G4. Document dated 28th December 2006 - three years ago, almost to the very day. How odd. Main thing I mentioned in the text for the instability was the recall for the engine/frame bolts to be checked, plus a recommendation (culled from owners) for rear damping and spring pre-load settings. Didn't mention tyre pressures at all, although certainly subsequent lore says they're critical. Amusingly, the quoted owners' opinions were both from the US (very hard to find ST1300 owners in the Uk, as I intimated earlier). Like I said, if you want chapter & verse, JFGI. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

I think you also said your article was not available on the net. I am interested in reading your article. If you wouldn't mind, take a minute and copy and paste it to this forum. I am sure I am not the only one who would like to read it.
