Re: valve seals
Oil burning smell could also be coming from a leaking gear shift seal. If you haven't put in a new seal chances are it needs one. You should look into installing a shifter brace too, but not a Chinese knock off. Lots of info on this site about it and even a "how-to" thread in the D.I.Y. se...

Re: Front left and right rotors
#45251-mt8-000 right front brake rotor
#45351-mt8-000 left front brake rotor
Different part numbers,, prob different parts.
I am not positive that they are different but I would suspect they are.

Re: 1993 Gl1500 paint schemes, badging and buying advice
It is hard to say from the pictures if the bike has been repainted or not. My 1993 SE is one solid color,, as I understand it, the first few years SE's did not have the two tone paint. My bike does not have a vented windshield either but the windshield may have been replaced at some point in the las...

Re: Rotation undulation, loss of power
Glad to hear you are making progress.
Unfortunatly I do not know what the extra plug in the picture is for and I can't find any info on it. Hopefully someone here will know.

Re: GL1500 (1988) Overheating issue (Yes the fans come on)
My bike used to overheat when sitting when I first got it. I flushed the rad and put in new coolant and it solved the problem. I think there was air trapped somewhere in the system.
I followed the steps outlined here in this thread

Re: Engine not cranking.
How did you get the neutral light back on? Are you sure the reverse lever is returned all the way back down and is pushed in? The arrow is probably a directional arrow for the auto reverse cassette. I dont think it should be on if the stereo is switched off though,, is there a cassette in the player?

Re: Engine not cranking.
Try rolling the bike ahead and then shifting into first or second. Then try going back into neutral. You should get athe neutral light then.

Re: Help with oil level from Honda Service Manual
I would just dump 3 1/2 qts. in and start the bike and let it run for a minute. Then just check the dipstick and add as needed. Dipstick not screwed in to check.
3.7 is 3 and 7/10,, just a bit under 3 and 3/4

The bike has to be running, in neutral. The pump won't run in with the bike in gear. You have to hold the "P Check" button and push either "increase" or "decrease". The pressure should show on the LCD screen in the center of the dash. The engine doesn't have to be runn...

Re: Help jack cable
It may be wired into the cassette. If it is you probably have to put a dummy cassette in the cassette player. You could just find an old cassette and take it apart and pull the tape off of the reels and then put it back together. Put it in the player and switch the radio/cassette button to cassette....

Not sure why that would be happening but this link may help keep you from losing the cover.

I don't think you can get these anymore,, but you could come up with a similar D.I.Y. that would do the same thing.

Re: Rebuilding a 95’ gl1500 I - weird one
There are copper crush gaskets between the heads and the exhaust headers. Ideally they should be replaced whenever the headers are reinstalled. I think you can probably reuse them provided they are in decent condition. If you don't see any when you remove the header, check to see that they are not s...

Re: What kind of Detail products do you use?

I havent used it on the seat,, I just had it recovered. I got mine at NAPA

Re: did GL1500SE come with a Alternator light from the factory
I just looked in the owners manual, It does not show an alt light on the dash anywhere,, pretty sure my 93se does not have one. I cannot say for sure what other models/years have.
Where is the light located?
