Move the seat height adjuster to the back position then reach underneath, grab the bottom of the tank and it will slide backwards allowing you to lift the front end without damaging the tank
I will look into purchasing one of these. Thanks for the video. I hope your daughter did NOT pee her pants after the video, LOL.
Thank you for watching and good luck.
Well that was an easy enough of an install, but what a weird fix to the problem. Great job and kudos to your helper!
Hello Busted Knuckles.... Thank you for your feedback. As soon the as weather improves here in Seattle, I will video as much as I can and post my findings. Be sure to Subscribe so that you'll automatically be informed when I post a new video. Warmest Regards, MotoTouring World Wide. (Also, if you have some proud MotoPhotos with nice backgrounds, landscapes see us at: facebook.com/groups/MotoTouringWorldWide/
For the life of me I couldn't find an acceptable place to put that little square piece, so that the tank would close properly. I removed the booster plug entirely, and will modify the airbox lid later to accept it. When I have some free time...
thanks for the vid looks like im getting one . cant wait for the update vid as I have a st1300 .im in Canada bye the way
Hello John, thanks for watching, I'm currently on business travels however the weather has been horrible in Seattle backing up my before and after video. Be sure to subscribe so when I post the video you will be notified at the same time. Warmest regards 🏍❤🤙
yes i put one in my FJR, little different location up in the fairing behind the windshield, only thing is my temp sensor reads about 35 degrees cooler than ambient as yamaha uses 1 temp sensor for ambient (most other OEM's use 2), yamaha on the cheap side in that regard lol
Thank you for watching, so far so good, I really enjoy the booster plug, it is not going to give you tons of horsepower, but it certainly gives me extra power I need when I first crack open the throttle, when I went on the racetrack I noticed a big difference from deceleration close throttle, to full throttle I got the extra power I needed, I also got a brand new top speed on the racetrack at 152 mph. I'm assuming you saw the video part three of three ?
Thanks for the amazing video. You explained every step perfectly. I have an off topic question though. Where did you get that rear luggage from? I can't seem to find any with a back rest built in.
Hello CrunchyCetrul. Thank you for watching and thanks for your feedback. On the Top Box, i saw a slightly used one for sale (like new) within the Facebook Honda ST1300 forum that I joined. I'm in 4 different groups. The Top Box are hard to find, but one shows up about every few months or so. I bought mine for $500 and then had it professionally matched for around $180. It was a factory option back in the day and had to be ordered. Here are the links to the ST forums that I'm in. Look me up. Once joined, ask around and eventually a Top Box will come for sale.. Take care :>) facebook.com/groups/2346439053/ and facebook.com/groups/68154878438/ and facebook.com/groups/ST1300GreatRide/ and facebook.com/groups/HondaSTRiders/
By the way, I forgot to mention when I bought my Top Box used, it was black,,, so that's why I had it professionally paint matched.... Cheers.
Every 5 minute job can be done after a few hours of prep work

Daddy's daughter 👍
So true.... She's my little girl.. LOL... Thank you for watching 💑🤙
Would love to see a long term review of this product, now that you've been using it for a while.
Hello Rob, greetings from Seattle. Great to hear from you again ❤️🤙🏍️,, I hope all is well up there in Canada. I have another grandbaby on the way in Victoria, our girls live in Victoria and we have now five grandchildren. (It has been a pain in the butt to see them).
Now on the booster plug. After 2 years it has been a good upgrade for the money, I don't know if you saw my video of me on the racetrack, "ST1300 Part 3 FASTER Booster plug", I did have more power from deceleration back to full throttle, I also had maybe 5 mph faster on the top speed, throttle response is better,,, basically I have no complaints at all and it performs as it was as advertised since I installed it September of 2019. It does idle high at 2000 RPM on a cold start for about 60 seconds but goes back down to 1,000 RPM where it belongs and I have no complaints, one of these days when I have time I'll probably make a video but I think the racetrack video pretty much explains most of my positive benefits compared to Part 2 on the racetrack video. Enjoy the beautiful weather while it lasts
❤️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Hi Mike, first of all congratulations on the news of your growing family, always an exciting time. Hope you are able to make it up here again soon. I am enjoying my new to me super low mileage (6K) 2004 ST1300, which I found out came from Edmonds WA near you. I have noticed some very mild idle and light throttle choppiness (almost feels like hunting) when cruising on flat roads at light throttle, and the need to give just a little more gas than expected on takeoff to keep from bogging down the motor, brought to mind your experience with the Booster Plug. Yes I saw the racetrack video, but since most of us (myself included) don't run our bikes on a track I was hoping to hear about your experiences with the BP from a daily street use perspective. Ie: behavior in slow moving traffic, low rpm, take offs and low speed pulls, hot/cold weather response etc. And if you also experienced any of my observations, did it fix them. Anyway, If you find the need to ad some video content here a short follow up review would be great. Ride safe and thanks for helping us get through that long winter. - Rob
"...pick any hole you want..." 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 haha brilliant.
LOL,,,,, you heard and noticed!! You are the first to finally comment on "pick a hole",,,, LOL... AND thank you for watching. 😂🏍️🤙
I think that wire you mention at czcams.com/video/dnfysJbFPqw/video.html isn't a ground wire - it's a retainer to stop you lifting the tank too high and over-bending the pipes at the other end...
Hello Hugh. Thanks for watching.. I just confirmed that it is indeed just a strap. You are correct. I thought it was a Static Electricity Ground wire when filling the tank. Thanks again, :>)
Did you reattach the ground wire to the tank?
Hello David... LOL.. You noticed. .. Good eye. Yes, I did. I also found out that it is just a strap to keep you from tilting the gas tank back too far. If tilted back too far, the fuel line may break and cause more damage. Thank you for watching. Be Safe and Ride Safe. Warmest Regards 🏍🤙
What brand and where did u get those led lights on the bottom of ur forks?
Hello Greg, thank you for watching, they came on my motorcycle and they are from a company called Moto lights. They are the lights that the police officers use on their motorcycles. Here is the link, again thanks for watching. 🤙🏍️🤙

@@MotoTouringWorldWide sweet! Thank you kindly
Where can I get a Pan European seat like yours?
Good Eye Steven and thank you for watching. Here is the video I made 3 years ago of the Top Sellerie seat at: czcams.com/video/HRSRPqr-ukY/video.html
You'll see in the description and the comments, the model number also. The seat is made in Paris at www.topsellerie.com/.
Be sure to NOT get a seat with a lump of padding in front of your crotch. You'd want a seat like mine. Otherwise you'll smash your man goods. Have a great weekend :>)
PS: here is the full video list: czcams.com/users/MotoTouringWorldWidevideos
FYI, no drilling is required. You can use existing screws.
Thank you for watching. There are no "existing" screws. Installation is universal for multiple motorbikes and the sensor "can" be placed in various locations based preference.
@@MotoTouringWorldWide I must have an earlier model then. I have a screw and the horn vents available close where you drilled. How did it work?
@@opsecalpha ,,, Ahh, yes, that makes sense. My placement of mine worked out perfectly. I have a video link for you on the BEFORE and AFTER results. End of the day, the money was worth it. Be sure to remove the 4 air snorkels above the air filter. The snorkels do nothing except restrict airflow. Combining the Booster Plus and the air snorkels removed will give a noticeable improvement that you can feel on your butt. The top speed increases to about 5 MPH more FULL Throttle. Here is the before-after video link: czcams.com/video/4aJf6-4xJ2Q/video.html
Be careful, your bike will be funnier :>)
nice work, no such thing as a five minute job.
Hello and thanks again for watching. If I had to do it all over again it will take maybe 46 minutes.. ,LOL. ❤️🤙🏍️
I`m a little confused. What were the results of the install???
Hello Josh and thank you for all your comments. I made this other video to show before and after results and towards the end of the video you will see my scores that I gave each topic. Here is the link:

Also here is my second response to your question here is a video on the racetrack after the booster plug installation.

Thanks for video I guess..? I mean what does it actually do?!
Hello Chris, thanks for watching. Below I've provided the Link from the "How it Works" page from the manufacture. You'll see all the information explaining what it does and how. Warmest Regards, Ride Safe :>) www.boosterplug.com/shop/cms-21.html
Did you ever get one?
@@joshmoore6165 no man I wound up selling my St. I do miss it but enjoying my Vtx1800 as well
@@Chris-Brauch I remember having the bone for those VTXs when they came out...Have you considered getting a Booster Plug for the VTX?
@@joshmoore6165 no I never gave it any thought.
6:45 Dude. That location DID NOT work for me. In fact nothing even close to that. I'm still trying to figure this stupid thing out. Getting closer though...
Hello josh, thank you for watching, Would you happened to be near Seattle? I'd be more than happy to ride my motorcycle out to you and we can work on your motorcycle together. If we're not close, be sure to watch the video step by step and it's actually pretty straightforward, the last few minutes of video I take the motorcycle outside and there's a better view so I hope that helps you out a lot. Keep me posted and in the end it's pretty straightforward. What matters, the outside temperature sensor needs to just have ram Air touching it and you can even keep the outside air temperature sensor inside the air filter housing because the cold air gets sucked through there however I prefer to locate outside and keep it exposed. Let me know the outcome. 🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide Nah man, thats nice of you but I live in Corpus Christi TX. Although I do have a co-worker that lives in Mount Vernon. South of Burlington! Wherever the hell that is!!! lol
@@joshmoore6165 , hello again, I'm jealous that you live in Corpus Christi Texas. That is a wonderful area. I actually live about 45 minutes south of Mount Vernon near your coworker. Mount Vernon is about 40 minutes north of Seattle. I ride through the Burlington Mount Vernon area on a regular basis to go see my kids in Canada. I'm going to give you a link of my video of me riding through Mount Vernon Burlington about 3 or 4 minutes into the video which is a beautiful area also. It took me forever to edit this 7-hour trip with a bunch of drone views so I hope you like it.

I hope your successful with your project and everything works well.
@@MotoTouringWorldWide I`ll be sure to pass it on to my buddy Jeff. Thanks man
In your experience so far, did this device give you all the gains the box said it would?
LOL nevermind, found the other video. Great videos Michael!
LOL,, i was just getting ready to give you the link. Thank you for watching. What kind of Motorbike do you ride?
@@MotoTouringWorldWide an 05 ST1300 and 01 CBR929RE, I know you from the ST Group on FB
ok buddy well obviously the daughter is kinda gorgeous but I'll try stay off that subject, I'm over in Scotland and I'm trying to understand what the purpose of this device is, was there a problem with the bike running?
Hello bigpicturestudio 🤙🏍️🤙🏍️ thank you for the compliment, yes I knew one of these days somebody would bring up my pretty daughter😊😊,,, now on the performance I'm going to give you a link on all the things that it will help improve. With my situation it improves the open throttle from closed response with extra fuel mixture for a few seconds..and extra power throttle especially on the racetrack. I was able to grab an extra 5 miles per hour top speed up to 152 mph.. if you take a look of my video list of choices take a look at the race track video "ST1300 FASTER with booster plug race track".... Thanks again for watching, have a wonderful week and ride safe.. 🏍️🤙🏍️🤙

by the way Scotland is beautiful countryside, I watched touring videos in your Backcountry and love it, greetings from Seattle Washington 🏍️🏍️🤙🏍️
@@MotoTouringWorldWide thanks appreciate that. Always wanted to go see seattle, not been as high up on west coast there and vancouver another place I'd like to see. North west an area I haven't yet explored. Been lots of others in Canada and US. Give me a shout if ever in Scotland :) Take care! Joe
yes couldn't be avoided that ...she must get her looks from her mum huh hahahaha!!! (just pulling you leg)
@@bigpicturesstudio ,, LOL,, yes yes my daughter has my smarts, and her mom's looks, LOL. When I made that video she was almost 15 years old, yes I know she looks older,. 😊,,, 2 more daughters live in Canada in Victoria British Columbia on the island only 90 air miles away, but what an adventure to get there with various boats. My other two daughters live in the state of Oregon, hence the reason I have some touring videos on the Oregon coast from my tour videos just recently. Scotland is on my bucket list and I would like to start my adventures and head a cross up into the mountains that I saw on some touring videos. By the way I am the group administrator for MotoTouring World Wide for all motorcycle brands. We post beautiful pictures of our touring adventures with our motorbike, you're always welcome to join. Would love to see some photos of your adventures and motorbikes. 🏍️🤙🏍️🤙

Очень не аккуратно
Спасибо за просмотр
Goddamn why would you drill through the bodywork like that 🥲 on the police models they have a whole bunch of brackets/mounts for antennas, radios, microphones and it’s a bolt on piece
Thanks for watching. Yes, I know,,,, buy the area I chose is pretty inconspicuous and not even noticeable. So far has been the best spot. I thought about maybe if there is next time, I would put the sensor inside the air filter air tube.
