Motorcycle specifications DucatiST3 1000 2007 Sport-GT tendance sport

Sport touring

farewell to the ST2. The one that paved the way for Ducati's sport-touring activities has been replaced by the new ST3. Three for three valves per cylinder. Engineers have taken the 1000 DS, which powers the Multistrada and Monster 1000, among others, and grafted onto it a cylinder head with 2 valves on the intake and one on the exhaust. The ST3 engine is also liquid-cooled. Power climbs to over 100 hp (20 more than the ST2) at the expense of torque, which drops by 1 mkg. Stylistically, only the design of the fork head has changed, and that's enough to give the machine a new personality. All to the great benefit of protection, which was the ST's main weakness. The new, classy dashboard offers a wealth of information, and the lighting adapts automatically according to outside light conditions. Another practical feature is the ingenious height-adjustment system for the exhausts: low position for stowing suitcases - high position to gain ground clearance when you decide to exploit the machine's sporting potential. The handlebar elements are also adjustable, as ergonomics play an increasingly important role in Ducati's drive to conquer new markets. After themultistrada, the ST3 is full of pleasant surprises.

The ST3 may have refined its road-going pretensions, but it doesn't betray its genes. The seat has been made more comfortable thanks to a thicker saddle; nevertheless, its consequent height will hardly enchant you when you have to put your foot down. The excessively tight turning radius and the twin's muted suppleness are not exactly conducive to city riding. Add to this a virile clutch, and you'll soon be heading for the main road to sample the real virtues of the new Bolognese tourer.

The newDUCATI 1000 ST3 forkhead may no longer have the typical Italian charm of the ST2, but it now effectively protects the rider up to 150 km/h. The 3-valve twin breathes quietly, soberly and politely, with just a hint of vibration - a far cry from the SS that unlocks your fairing. Powerful, it gives the ST3 wings, rewarding every twist of the throttle with a vigorous push. Once you've fine-tuned your riding position, it's time to revel in the road and suspension; although identical to the previous model, the components carry the bike better, making for a more skilful, safer ride. Like fine wine, the ST family improves with age. It doesn't have the velvety smoothness of a BM, but much more passion to offer.

French DucaTotof Model 2004
Hello, After a Mostro 600 I wanted a boon father bike with a rolling sofa and I'm very happy with it, the only problem I can find with it is the release of heat on my left ankle and under the seat, I had to put a wet towel during a trip on the freeway this summer. And in the rain too I have mist everywhere on the bubble ... Apart from that, I love this bike. Rating : 4/5
Does it have a stop-start problem? Rating : 2/5
I've been driving an ST3 since 2004, my 1st...97000kms...sold
My 2nd 117500kms...loose embiellage on freeway...repaired, she's approaching 130000kms... Looking for a 3rd to complete my collection. Needless to say, I love this bike. Viva DUCATI ST3 and don't even get me started on the lack of reliability of these bikes!

What can I say about the st3 except that it's an excellent bike ....... After a very small modification of a few cents !!!
Indeed, after many kilometers, the throttle body clamps loosen very quickly, with air intakes at the end! Guaranteed to sweat in small traffic circles when the bike is on the verge of stalling!
To remedy this problem, there's one obvious solution: "Prevent the clamps from loosening! "Lapalisse couldn't have said it better - LOL ......
It's been a year and a half now that these damn parts can't get loose!!! ..... It's absolute bliss!!! I can handle the city limit in 4 without a care! Who would have thought it .... ( not too much under 50 though lol )
Virtually no more detonation from the exhaust despite absorption mufflers without baffles !!!
Now that's an interesting modification!
For the rest I think everything has been said !!!
Bonne route à tous et tous ....

Hello;
I think I have the same problem as you.
Could you show me the area where the collars are located (with photos for example) and tell me what your solution is?
Best regards.

Hello Spoky
I'll try to explain it here!
The clamps are located under the air box and under the "injection". There are no other clamps in the center of the engine!
You'll need two 7" open-end wrenches and 4 nuts (M5 I think) for this operation
A word of advice: ALWAYS put the fuel tank on its stand!
There you are Spoky, I hope I've enlightened you a little
A minimum of knowledge is still necessary to carry out this operation.

Hello ducateman;
Thanks for your help; it will allow me to check the tightness in the area.
I've already changed the air filter, which allowed me to see the little stand. This should be done when the tank is 3/4 empty to avoid a shower.
Thanks again; I'll keep you posted.
Headlight call.

French Slow Philou Model 2003
After 50,000 km on the ST2, I switched to the 2005 Ducati ST3 (oil-bath clutch), which has the same chassis but a more powerful engine (around 105 hp) that's a real pleasure to ride, a much more protective fork head, improved lighting (although still insufficient for code riding) and a very comfortable seat.
The only drawback is that this bike eats up wheel bearings (every 25,000 km at the front, twice that at the rear) and steering column bearings (every 40,000 km), and that Ducati overhauls are ruinous because of the number of MO hours required (every 10,000 km).
But it's still the hottest bike I've ever owned!

excellent bike all the problems inherent to city riding, except for the large turning radius, are eliminated with a PSB of 14 and the perf kit

All the same. Happy owner of an ST3 without abs for 1 year and 23,000 km, this bike suits me perfectly. Comfortable, with plenty of power and torque. No problems whatsoever. I recommend it
Bonne route

French Brasletti Model 2003
I used to have a 7500 SSIE, but since 5000 km I've been riding an ST3, and now it's really great. Power, smoothness, equipment... nothing to envy to the jap, the biggest flaw is the noise of the gearbox when shifting, otherwise it's a real pleasure

Hello,
I've been riding an ST2 for 2 years. I'm very satisfied with it, which is not the case for my passenger. She complains that the rider is too far away (due to the too sporty position) and that it's difficult to stand on the saddle
Is the position on the ST3 more roadworthy?
What about passengers?
note: I have the comfort kit on st2

French Meshza Model 2003
Kikoo to you all, first of all, and I'm glad you're interested in a bike that deserves much better, especially compared to the endless VFR.....
I've already ridden an ST2 (70,00 kilometers, just kidding), and now I'm hitting the 30,000 mark with the ST3. And not much to complain about, except that the rear brake, even with progress, could do better... Otherwise, for those who do city driving, and I'm one of them, you'll have to switch to the 2005 model, as the oil bath makes things much easier at low revs. The engine picks up without too much fuss from 2000-2500 rpm. And the electronic management system has made considerable progress compared with the first models
Otherwise, as far as roadholding is concerned, it's Ducat, it doesn't steer well, but it holds the road perfectly in all circumstances, minefields excepted
As for the rest, it's a well-disguised sports car that's formidable on corner exits, with very available torque that really kicks in from 5500 rpm
It's ideal for "fast" two-up riding, or even circuit racing... but the fall is very quickly expensive, as the fairing obliges..

Headlight call to all, and FOrza Ducati....

French J-Claude Model 2003
The comments I've just read are all correct. On the other hand, you quickly build up the muscle in your left hand, and after 15 days you stop thinking about the "virility" of the clutch. The fault of this ST3 is that it's totally unsuited to city driving: it knocks too much at low revs, the turning radius is gigantic and the 1st gear is long!
The rest, on the other hand, is a delight... On the road
Power, character, roadholding, braking and comfort (well, for a Duc...) Reasonable fuel consumption
And it looks so good in red! Reserved for customers who want to be somewhere between the 4-legged Nippon asceptized and the BMW 3rd age

sincerely this st3 is a good wheel, comfortable and safe, it's true the original tires are not at the top of grip (it changes) and the rear brake is not very ferocious but I bought this bike to rest my old back while wanting to keep a bike alive, but not too tiring to do a little terminal with what I have left of vertebrae and well my brothers, i'm happy, it's still a Duc, it's comfortable, it holds up well on the road, and it doesn't consume (life's not pretty) for the stereo option, the silmotor pots are good and not too expensive, and it's Italian, so don't hesitate, character, comfort, red, buy!!!!! Bonne route a tout ce qui roule sur 2 roues , et longue vie aux petites routes viroleuses et pendant qu'on y ai ,et que je suis de bonne humeur joyeux noel a tout le monde sincérement Rating : 5/5
The same one 6 months later. I was pleased to note that Ducati now offers an oil-bath clutch on the 2005 ST models, which will undoubtedly bring welcome riding comfort. As far as engine smoothness is concerned, while it is possible to reduce the engine speed from 4,000 to 3,000 rpm, below which the engine is totally unpleasant to ride, I would strongly advise Ducati engineers to come up with new modifications to make it more user-friendly at these speeds, which are relatively frequent when the machine is also used in town or in the suburbs. There's no shortage of technical solutions, even for a 90° L-shaped engine. Guzzi has recently redesigned the connecting rods on its new engine to make it more flexible at low revs, not to mention the possibility of shifting the crankpins for a smoother cycle, as on some Japanese V-twins, or variable valve timing, or perhaps, more simply, the use of more sophisticated electronic solutions. Last but not least, without detracting from the character of these machines, something needs to be done, at least for the ST and Multistrada models, which are intended to be more accessible, and for which it's still impossible to wind up serenely from low revs. Rating : 5/5
French DUCAPHIL Model 2003
It's a very good tourer, equally enjoyable as a duo or solo, although the suspension is a little uncomfortable on rough roads. The "scotch" effect of Ducati roadholding is present, but the original tires (Michelins Pilot Road) may not be optimal. You should also bear in mind that the engine's minimum speed is 4000 rpm, below which it always feels as if the second cylinder doesn't want to turn in the same direction as the first, but this stops when you turn the throttle firmly, and the engine behaves better when saturated (under load) than at intermediate speeds. Thrust is crisp and quick, and more suited to attacking than cruising. Ducati has made efforts to improve user-friendliness, but hasn't gone as far as it might have for this model, which in the sport-touring category could do without some of the brand's specific features, such as the dry clutch (as on the 620 and 800) for a smoother, quieter system, as well as greater ease of use at low revs (cf.above), another example: the handlebars are height-adjustable but not spread-adjustable, and the controls are not tilt-adjustable either, which makes it impossible to adjust them precisely to the height of the handlebars, and can cause wrist cramps given their very horizontal configuration. All this may be mere detail, but Ducati still needs to make a little more effort, at least on certain models, the ST being the right niche, because what is sought in this category is more the homogeneity of the concept for an objective that is efficient and comfortable mobility in all circumstances than this or that specific feature, to win over a wider clientele often raised on Japanese four-legs.
