2009 Honda ST 1300 Pan European Overview

The 2009 Honda ST 1300 Pan European is a sport touring motorcycle built around 1261 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a V4 engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 10.8:1. The bore and stroke measures 78 x 66 mm. From a practical standpoint, the 2009 ST 1300 Pan European tips the scales at 326.1 kg, carries a 29.14-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 790 mm and spans a 1,491 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 78.2 kg heavier than the average sport touring motorcycle in our database.

2009 ST 1300 Pan European - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Large fuel range: The 29.14-litre tank is generously sized, translating to extended range between stops - ideal for touring or longer commutes.
Low-maintenance final drive: Shaft drive (cardan) final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.

Considerations

Age-related wear: As with any used ST 1300 Pan European, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Valve clearance checks

DOHC valve actuation on the ST 1300 Pan European means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Brake disc and pad wear

The Double disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the ST 1300 Pan European runs 45mm HMAS cartridge fork and HMAS gas-charged single shock with five-position spring-preload adjustability at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by shaft - no chain or belt maintenance at all, though the drive-shaft oil should be changed on the manufacturer's interval.

Handling the weight at a standstill

At 326.1 kg, the ST 1300 Pan European is a substantial machine - low-speed manoeuvring in car parks takes more physical effort than on a lighter bike, though the weight disappears once rolling.

ST 1300 Pan European - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2009 Honda ST 1300 Pan European, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained ST 1300 Pan European should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any ST 1300 Pan European. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used ST 1300 Pan European. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
