What Will Fail On Your Goldwing? The Goldwing, being a Honda, is one of the most reliable, bulletproof motorcycles that money can buy. It's not at all uncommon to find Goldwings with more than 100,000 miles on them that run like new. There are many Goldwings with more than 200,000 miles on the clock, and the engines are still running great. This is possible with little more than basic maintenance - regular oil changes, and the occasional valve adjustment. Other motorcycle owners have engines that need to be rebuilt at 50,000 miles - particularly air-cooled V-twins. Tell these owners about your 35-year-old Goldwing that just turned over 250,000 miles, and has never required much more than an oil change - and they will shake their heads in disbelief. That said, our Goldwings are incredibly complex machines, with especially large and complex electrical systems, and despite the superior Honda engineering, there are some "weak spots" here and there - things that just wear out over time. This past month we have seen an incredible influx of new Wing owners on the web site, and a lot of them are either asking what they should look out for, or they already have one of these commonly discussed problems, and are looking for information on how to fix it. I thought I'd try to cover some of these common failure items, along with supplying links to the site where each of them has been discussed. There's also a catch-all topic for some that I haven't thought of, and that people have added: Common Goldwing Failures. Some of the items cross multiple models, and some of them are specific to certain types or even years of Goldwing. So with that, I give you: Common Goldwing Failures Engines There really isn't much wrong with the Goldwing engine design, as evidenced by the longevity of the engine in everyday use. There are three things that stand out - none of which are involved in the core engine operation: Starter sprag clutch: The four-cylinder Wings utilize a one-way sprag clutch to engage the starter motor to the engine. When the engine starts, and begins to spin faster than the starter motor, it automatically disengages the starter motor. It does this by way of tiny little rollers, held in place with even smaller springs. Unfortunately, this area of the engine receives very little oil circulation, so if the oil is not being changed often enough, sludge tends to build up and foul these little sprags. The end result is a starter motor that spins, but does not engage and crank the engine. Fortunately there is a simple, easy and cheap fix. Water pump: This is not so much of a weakness as it is a wear item. Water pumps will fail, it's just a matter of time. When the water pump does fail, it lets you know by leaking oil or coolant out of the "weep hole" on the bottom of the water pump housing. I have seen more than one instance where a misguided owner "fixed" this problem by jamming a screw in the weep hole, or by closing it over with epoxy. The correct way to fix it is to replace the water pump. Timing belts: Again, this is a wear item, not really a weakness. All Goldwings except the GL1800 use timing belts to rotate the cams (the GL1800 uses chains). Because modern engines are of the interference type, should a timing belt break, it will cause fairly significant engine damage - and can completely destroy an engine if you're unlucky. If you have bought a new-to-you Goldwing and don't know when the timing belts were last changed, the time to do it is NOW! Read more: How to replace your timing belts Cruise and Sub filters: Not necessarily a problem, but GL1500 owners have two filters on their bike that they often have no idea exist: the cruise and sub air filters. Over time, these often neglected filters turn to dust, allowing unfiltered air into your cruise control and air injection systems. Hyvochain Rattle: The four-cylinder wings connect the engine crankshaft to the transmission input shaft with a massive, multilink chain. At low RPM, particularly under heavy load, this chain can rattle, and the sound is horrific - it sounds like a bag of marbles has been emptied into your engine crankcase and are rattling around in there. Fortunately, the fix for this is quite easy, and costs nothing! Transmissions Transmissions overall in Goldwings are beefy and strong: they have to be, in order to handle the massive torque generated by the Goldwing engine. As such, they don't feel like finely tuned instruments, they are more clunky and truck-like in their operation. However, with the advent of the six-cylinder GL1500, a weakness emerged in the shift forks, particularly the shift fork that engages the fourth and fifth gears. With wear, particularly the kind of wear brought on by resting your foot on a heel/toe shifter, the shift fork can develop difficulty in shifting between fourth and fifth, resulting in worn dogs (the "teeth" that engage the gears). The fix for this, replacing the shift fork and fourth and fifth gears, requires a lengthy and expensive engine and transmission teardown. With the use of the beefed-up Valkyrie engine starting in 1997, this problem all but disappeared. Luckily, there is a simple diagnosis for this problem. The GL1500 transmission problem explained Testing for the GL1500 transmission problem GL1800 Transmission: Transmission troubles cropped up again with the GL1800, albeit much more rarely and seemingly on a random basis. Similar to the GL1500 shift fork failure, but not related to any one cause that has yet been figured out: GL1800 transmission complaints GL1500 Shift Shaft: The GL1500 has a very poorly designed shift shaft, where it dog-legs around the exhaust headers. The end result is a tremendous amount of pressure applied to the shaft bearings every time you move the shift lever with your foot, eventually causing slop and seal failure. There is an aftermarket shift shaft pivot available that fixes this problem quickly and easily. Drivetrain Again, with proper maintenance, the drivetrain on all models of Goldwing is really quite bulletproof. regular changes of final drive gear oil and lubrication of final drive and driveshaft splines will keep your drivetrain operating at peak performance for the life of the bike. The only real wear item is the universal joint - and this can normally be detected as a clicking noise under load, or a clunk noise when letting off the throttle. If left too long, the universal joint can completely self-destruct. Fuel System Virtually all of the problems with the fuel system can be traced to bad gas, ethanol, or a bike that has been left sitting too long. Carburetors have tiny pinhole-sized jets - particularly the idle jets - that clog easily if anything other than pure gasoline is sent through them. Fuel pumps on four-cylinder Wings can fail when their rubber diaphragm is attacked by ethanol. The same can happen with the rubber diaphragm in the vacuum-operated petcock. Carburetor slides need to move extremely easily and in concert with one another, to feed fuel evenly to all of the cylinders. Clogged Gas Cap: A common complaint is a bike that will lose power, particularly at higher speeds, after a certain amount of time. If the bike is left to sit for ten minutes or so, the problem fixes itself...until it happens again. This can often be linked to a clogged gas cap vent - and left unrepaired, the vacuum can become so strong that the fuel tank collapses! The fix for this is cheap, and quite simple. Off-Idle Hesitation: By far the biggest problem from the factory was the off-idle hesitation present in 1988 and 1989 GL1500's. There was a recall from Honda to remedy the issue, but many bikes did not have the fix performed, and now that the recall has expired, they are still exhibiting the behavior. We have a user that spent a great amount of time researching the issue on his own 1988 GL1500, and managed to solve the problem. Brakes Proper maintenance of the braking system, primarily in terms of regular flushing and bleeding of brake fluid, will go a very long way to preventing problems with your brake system. The same goes for the hydraulic clutch found on GL1200 and later Goldwings, which uses the exact same type of master/slave system. Blocked Return Ports: By far the biggest problem with the brakes in all Goldwings is unintended lockups caused by blocked return ports. When the return port in the master cylinder gets clogged, the brakes can't release, resulting in locked wheels. This is both simple to prevent (flush your brake system regularly), and simple to fix. GL1800 Brake Recall: The GL1800 has ongoing issues with its complex braking system, where brakes will be engaged without the rider doing anything - this is the subject of a massive recall by Honda. Unfortunately, the original recall did not solve the problem, and many people are left with continual braking problems with their GL1800's, while Honda tries to figure out the root cause of the issue. Rear Brake Pivot: Four-cylinder Wings have the rear brake pedal rotating around a pivot attached to the frame. After years of neglect, this pivot will rust, freezing the pedal in place, or making it very difficult to operate - sometimes sticking down and locking your rear brakes on! The fix for this is quite simple, and will last for years. Frame GL1800 Frame Recall: Only one model of Goldwing has a problem with frames, and it's a big one: 2001-2004 GL1800's, with their new technology aluminum frame, experienced cracks due to a design flaw. In some cases, the frames broke completely. This was subject to a recall, where the affected frames were reinforced with welding, however not all of the affected bikes were fixed, and as a result this problem still crops up from time to time. Fortunately Honda re-engineered the frame once the problem arose, so this problem is limited to earlier GL1800's only. Controls Clutch Bushing: Most models of Goldwing with hydraulic clutches use a rod seated in a bushing in the lever. This rod pushes against the piston in the clutch master cylinder. The brass bushing in the lever wears out over time, causing the clutch to become more and more sloppy. If left too long, the rod will wear completely through the bushing, and punch a hole in the lever, at which point the lever needs to be replaced. Replacing the bushing is a quick and easy job. Switches: An achilles' heel of all Goldwings is the switchgear. With so many electrical features, there are a lot of switches, and they wear out. Ignition switches wear out and cause the bike to suddenly shut off unexpectedly. High beam and starter switches wear out and cause your headlights to stop working without warning. And on the GL1500 - and especially the GL1800, pushbutton switches get stuck in place, and can't be turned off. Lastly, the reverse control on the GL1500 has a switch that seems to fail more often than any other switch on the bike - so much so that Goldwing online store Cyclemax keeps them in stock! GL1500 Cruise Lag: The cruise control GL1500 often develops a lag, where it takes several seconds to actually engage, or make corrections to speed. This is fixed with a simple adjustment that takes only a few minutes. Electrical I saved the best for last: our Goldwings have massive, complex electrical systems, and things can and do go wrong. Often it is "modifications" made by clueless previous owners that cause the problems - an example is the picture to the right: this is all the aftermarket wiring added to a GL1800 by a previous owner, after it was pulled out by the new owner. However, Honda can definitely take the blame for a lot of the problems. GL1500 LCD Failure: This is becoming more and more common as GL1500's age, and it is disturbing: The LCD display lamination fails, causing a large dark spot to begin to appear from one side. Once this has begun, there is no stopping it, and there is no way to fix it - it must be replaced, and replacements are not cheap. Stators: Four-cylinder Wings use internal stators to generate power to run the bike and charge the battery. These stators are bathed in engine oil, and are under heavy stress. As a result, they can and do fail - particularly on the GL1200, which seems more predisposed to the problem. You can sometimes predict the failure, and perhaps postpone it however. Replacement requires removing the engine. Some people choose to install aftermarket external alternators, like the Poorboy Conversion for the GL1200, or a homebrew conversion on the GL1100. Stator Connectors: The connectors Honda used for the stators on four-cylinder Wings are undersized and fail regularly. They will overheat and melt, which can cause your stator to short out and fail, or worse, your bike to catch fire! If you have a four-cylinder Wing and the connector has not been removed and bypassed, you should do it immediately. Alternators: Just like the stators in four-cylinder Wings, the external alternators in GL1500 and GL1800 Goldwings are under heavy load - and this causes failure sooner than you would expect. Many owners choose to replace their OEM alternators with high-output aftermarket alternators. Unlike the stressed OEM alternators running at maximum capacity, these aftermarket alternators are loafing most of the time, and as a result tend to last much longer - along with the added benefit of supplying full voltage at idle, and allowing the addition of high-current aftermarket accessories like lights and heated clothing. Neutral Diode: This diode on four-cylinder Wings gives up the ghost after a number of years - a giveaway is when the neutral light comes on every time you squeeze the clutch lever. Replacing this failed diode fixes the problem. Loose Battery Terminals: The battery terminals seem to work loose on a regular basis. Symptoms are a battery that is fully charged, allows the radio and accessories to operate, yet won't crank the engine. Bad Grounds: Goldwings are fond of developing bad grounds. These can manifest themselves as perplexing problems that seem completely unrelated - for instance, the radio stops working, but turns on when the left turn signal is activated. The GL1800 has frame grounds that are coated in paint, leaving the bolt threads to carry the current. Four cylinder Wings often have the ground strap from the battery become loose at the frame. Relays: GL1500 and GL1800 Goldwings are absolutely packed with relays: small electromechanical switches. These relays seem to fail with alarming frequency, particularly on the GL1500. A failed relay can leave you stranded - but replacement is cheap and easy. Pulse Generators: With the exception of early GL1000's, which used points, the engine computers of our Goldwings use pulse generators to detect the position of the engine crank. Over time, and with exposure to repeated heat cycles, these pulse generators fail and must be replaced. Symptoms are a bike that quits when it is hot, and magically fixes itself once it has cooled off. Spark Units: Four-cylinder wings have two spark units (part of the ignition system) mounted near the top front of the engine. Whatever potting compound Honda used during manufacturing tends to turn to black goo 30 years later, and leaks out of the units. The fix is simple and cheap, and doesn't require replacing any parts. 7 Volt Regulator: Most of the GL1000 and GL1100 (and the 1984 GL1200 Standard) Goldwings use a 7 volt regulator to operate the fuel and temperature gauges. When both gauges begin to fail at the same time, it's usually this regulator that has in fact failed. It's simple to fix, and the replacement should last much longer than the original. Starter Relay/Solenoid: The starter relay on four-cylinder Wings does have a limited lifespan - when it fails, it either causes the bike to not start at all, or it sticks on and runs the starter continuously - even when the key is shut off. There is a temporary fix, but replacement is in order.

Honda Moly 60 Paste Discontinued Long known as the only correct lubricant to be used when lubricating your final drive splines and all drivetrain joints from the engine output shaft backward, Honda Moly 60 Paste is so well-reknowned that it is commonly used by motorcycle mechanics everywhere to lubricate shaft drive motorcycles of all makes and models. Using anything with less than the 60% Molybdenum contained in this Honda paste can cause serious damage to your drivetrain. So it was with a bit of alarm that we noticed that Honda quietly discontinued this product last month. What are we Goldwing owners now to use when lubricating our drivetrains? Not to fear, Honda has a solution for us: Moly 60 Paste Replacement An Alarm System for your Goldwing? Motorcycles are a popular theft item - they have relatively few security features compared to automobiles, and the smaller motorcycles can be quickly loaded into the back of a van or pickup truck by a couple people. Probably partly because of its size and weight, Goldwings are the target of motorcycle thieves much less than other bikes. However, our bikes do tend to have lots of buttons, gadgets and devices on them, which are tempting for people to play with...or steal. And I have more than once seen someone who thought it was perfectly OK to just "try out" sitting on a stranger's bike. Alarms can help prevent motorcycle theft, but a determined thief will get your bike, alarm or not. I think alarms are far more useful in keeping casual "browsers" from messing around with your bike. With that in mind, have a read through the thoughts of Goldwing owners on the topic, along with suggestions on which alarm system works best for your Goldwing: Security Alarm System Mad Max Goldwing? If you've caught the recent film Mad Max: Fury Road, you might have recognized a familiar bike: One of the motorcycles in the film is a highly modified GL1200! Purchasing Decision: GL1200 vs GL1500 A site member has a friend in the market for a new motorcycle, and he has a limited budget. The friend was looking at GL1200's, but our member was trying to steer him towards an older GL1500 instead. Several people chimed in on the benefits of a GL1200 in great shape vs a lower-cost, older GL1500, and which would be the better choice. Some just preferred the GL1200 overall, others preferred the GL1500. What do you think? Faced with a limited budget, which is the better bike? Join the discussion: GL1500 vs GL1200 Top Tier Gasoline What is Top Tier Gas? In 2004, a group of automakers, feeling that the EPA minimum standards for gasoline were insufficient, came up with more strict standards for higher quality gasoline, with higher levels of additives. Gas stations that sell this type of gasoline are known as Top Tier stations. Our bikes are extremely sensitive to the quality of gas we put in them, so it is a good idea to try to feed them the best gas we can buy. Learn more about Top Tier Gas, and which stations are categorized as Top Tier: Top Tier Gas Stations Omron G8MS-H30 Relays for GL1500's Goldwings, particularly GL1500's and GL1800's, are filled to the brim with relays. These electromagnetically-actuated switches are used to switch all kinds of circuits, from headlights to radios to even the starter. However, they are a mechanical device, and after some time they will fail. I have less than a hundred of these relays left, and I don't have plans at the moment to order any more. So if one of the many relays in your GL1500 has failed, or if you'd like to have a few on hand to carry around just in case one does (to avoid being left stranded!) - and you'd like to take advantage of my quantity purchase, now is the time to buy them for less than half the retail price. Check out our GL1500 relay store page: Goldwing GL1500 Omron G8MS-H30 Relay Of course, we still have our other products as well: GL1000/GL1100/GL1200 7 volt regulators, and our ever-popular GL1500/GL1800 GPS Input Devices.

Brake Pistons for 4-Cylinder Wings For many years, WinGovations has produced replacement brake pistons for the GL1000, GL1100 and GL1200, in high-quality stainless steel. Many of these pistons have not been available from Honda for many years, and never in stainless steel, so they're doing the Goldwing community a great favor by making these available. Missing was the 1982 GL1100 Aspencade: this lone wolf bike used brake pistons unique to the Aspencade for one model year only. At long last, WinGovations has now announced that they now have this piston available as well. If you are a 1982 Aspencade owner with pitted pistons that needed replacement years ago, now's your chance: GL1100 Aspencade Brake Pistons |
Tires - How Old Is Too Old? It's a fairly accepted fact that tires should be replaced after six or seven years. Any older than this, and the rubber compounds become stiff and brittle. You can find out just how old your tires are by decoding the date code molded onto the sidewall: How to tell the age of your tires But what isn't commonly known is that this clock starts ticking when the tire is manufactured, not when the tire is purchased. With some dealers holding tire stock for years, tires can be several years old when you buy them brand new! You need to protect yourself by checking the date code on "new" tires. So just how old should you allow "new" tires to be when purchasing? Take the poll and see what other Goldwing owners have to say: How Old is Too Old When Buying New Tires? |

Goldwing GL1500 Omron G8MS-H30 Relay The Goldwing GL1500 Omron G8MS-H30 Relay is a relay used for quite a few different functions in the GL1500. The GL1500 is filled with relays - there is a box full of them, next to the fuse box! These relays are mechanical devices, and have a limited life. When they do fail, critical systems can be affected, leaving you stranded! It's always a good idea to carry one or two spare relays with you. Honda sells replacement relays, Honda part number 38380-MN5-003, for over $25 each! These are the exact same relays, brand new, from the original manufacturer. Thanks to a quantity buy from the original manufacturer, we are able to offer them at a much reduced price. Stock up now and make sure you never end up stranded because of a failed relay! |

7 Volt Regulator for Four Cylinder Wings If you have a GL1000, GL1100 or GL1200 Standard Goldwing with mechanical (not electronic LCD) temperature and fuel gauges, you've had this problem. Or...you will. It's only a matter of time. You'll start noticing thkat your temperature and fuel gauges are reading off the scale - the temperature is in the red, and the fuel shows full. The only thing is, the bike isn't overheating, and you know you've only got a quarter tank left. Or...even worse: your bike is operating normally, and suddenly your temperature and fuel gauges just turn off, and look like the picture to the right. How much fuel have you got left? You'll have to guess! What's causing it? A faulty, worn-out 7 volt voltage regulator. Behind the fuel and temperature gauges is a special voltage regulator that turns your motorcycle's normal 12 volts into the 7 volts on which these two gauges run. When it starts to fail, it typically starts doing so intermittently. Left in a failed state, it can cause damage - allowing a full 12 volts into your temperature and fuel gauges, destroying the delicate coils inside! That gets expensive, requiring the replacement of the entire center gauge cluster! What's the solution? For almost five years, we've been manufacturing a modern, solid-state 7 volt regulator to fix this problem once and for all. Hundreds and hundreds of Goldwing owners all over the world now have operating fuel and temperature gauges thanks to our 7 volt regulator. If you've got this problem - or you know someone who does - check out our 7 Volt Regulator and get it fixed! |
