Where the leak emerges is seldom where the leak is actually coming from. Whenever I get this kind of thing, I will hose down the oily area with brake cleaner to clean all the oil off, then dust it with talcum powder or flour. Wherever the oil is traveling from will become visible very quickly. soli...

Shifter shaft seal is a possibility. More towards the left side and rear of engine. Visible with the left carb side cover removed.

the leak is coming from the dead center of the rear of the engine unit
Thanks for your reply

I have a 2000 Goldwing and I have noticed when the bike has cooled the next day after a ride, small drips came from the rear of the engine, the drips about the size of a quarter ... the bike is on the center stand when its parked, I'm asking the forum what it might be or where to look before diving ...

After looking at the problem... they are two lights in parallel one shining outside to the world the other shiny to the wheel, the one shiny to the wheel isn’t working ... so time for a replacement... I see Cyclemax sells them ... wish to thank everyone for the replies

The 2000 ASP front chrome rotor covers has the LED lights (so called ring of fire) in them one side is bright the right side other side left side is dim ... there not nearly as bright as the right side... just asking what to look for before I tear into tracing wires that the PO has done or didn't d...

If they work at all they must have 12V+ and 12V- and they should work the same on both sides. LEDs do go bad sometimes and I would think that that is what has happened here. Of course, it wouldn't do any harm to test the wiring connections and make sure that there are no frayed wires but, I think y...

My ring of fire were dim and the whole strip was coming un glued from the cover. Used a heat gun to soften the adhesive and pulled them out. Cleaned the brake dust and grime with alcohol. Bought some 3m 2 sided adhesive tape and reinstalled them. Good as new. Will look into that ... thank you for t...

My wife and I will, hopefully, be on this very Highway in a month on our way back from The Natchez Trace. I even have Queen Wilhelmina SP as a waypoint. If I can swing it I’ll see if I can get a photo of our Wing in the same spot as yours in that last photo. The Lodge seem like your on top of the w...

Trying to find a rebuild kit for a 2000 Goldwing Asp w/reverse .... I don't know if they make one, But I be happy if they do .. I tried to do a Google search for one... but came up empty ... so I'm hoping on hope fellow Wingers would know of something

I wish to thank all who offered suggestions ... I checked the usual ... battery connections...grounds on frame and motor... when I got to the starter relays A & B ... there was corrosion and typical dulling of the pins on a twenty year old Wing.. I pulled the fuses and sprayed Deoxit on the connecti...

I went for a ride today .. nice weather in the 70's ... I stopped by a friends house... when leaving I press the start button nothing happened ... I pressed it again and a click noise followed by a buzz sound... sounds as though the noise was coming near the battery ... .. was puzzled for it never h...

I'm looking for a left 1800 horn ... IM or call (leave message) 870-914-0728

Just be patience my friend... someone will see it and want it due to the care and maintenance you have done ... it will happen for your Wing is in excellent condition

Sorry to disagree with most, but to many buyers, the 1500 is the pick of the litter. The earlier 1800s had issues that many potential buyers have heard about. Many others place a higher value on the carrying capacities of the 1500s trunk and saddlebags. Still others value the more ample space for t...
