Absolutely amazing article. My problem is I have got the lip of the boot out of the groove in the collar but I cannot get the collar to move at all. I am guessing it has a lot of build up and is seized. I have sprayed with brake cleaner and will let it sit for a while and then spray it some more. O...

So I was able to purchase the factory repair manual thru my local dealer that is specifically for the 1996 model GL 1500 and it says the pump should run 1 to 2 seconds. No matter as my pump is shot and I've ordered a replacement. Many have staked and lost their reputations on what the service manua...

If the double-sided tape is foam tape, I've also successfully used monofilament line slipped underneath to slice through that foam enough to get the piece off, then the remnants of the foam tape can be removed afterwards, like this:

The 88-89 (and perhaps 90? I would have to look it up) do this, but later models do not.

Could also be a faulty bank angle sensor. Try jumpering it and see if it solves the problem. If so, then replace the bank angle sensor. If it was the BAS it wouldn't crank. When the BAS start to fail, they will trigger a quick, transient "hey I've fallen over" signal, usually when you hit...

Pull the spark plug boots off the plugs (one at a time, so you don't get them mixed up) and make sure there isn't any water in the spark plug well. If there is, it can short it out and cause no spark. There are drains in there, but they can get clogged.

Post it on our Air Filter Hall of Shame thread!

I like the green and black! People might mistake it for a Kawasaki, however.

I ordered a 7v regulator from this site and had it shipped to my brother's place in Michigan. OH to MI 'next door'. It was shipped as PRIORITY MAIL. 😈 https://www.stamps.com/shipstatus/?confirmation=9405511202540563853664 Read from the bottom up... Our tax dollars at work. 🤣 Ron in AZ That's nothin...

That's great! Definitely post it to our air filter hall of shame thread!

Without the ads, this site would not exist. It's very expensive to run, and the ads pay for it. Just.

Not yet, but it's coming....

I am looking to buy new brake lines for a 1983 gl1100i. Has anyone recently had the three flexible brake lines replaced? If so where did you get the lines. Thanks Tim I replaced mine with braided stainless lines, and it was the single best upgrade I did to my 1100. The supplier I got mine from no l...

I have a 1977 GL1000 with a 1979 engine and possibly some other 1979 parts. Someone else was doing the restoration, so I don't know the year of all the parts. I have a 12V to 7V regulator from GoldwingDocs which my shop found online. Recently, on a ride of a little over 100 miles, all electrical we...

Wow, not much left there. You REALLY don't want to let your pads get this low, if you start scraping metal onto your brake rotors, your wallet is going to hurt when you find out the price of replacement motorcycle rotors. Unlike car brake rotors, motorcycle rotors are expen$$$$ive!

Cycle the reverse lever a few times to get the neutral light back on. You, Sir, are a complete champion. This just happened to me after washing it, I thought I blew a fuse, cycled the lever ONCE I and she roared into life :) Thank you :) Start planning to replace your reverse switch - this switch d...

Welcome, sounds like you have a great project ahead of you. I loved the Pacific Coast, and you'll find quite a few similar parts and systems between it and the Goldwing (although there are many more similarities and parts between the PC800 and GL1500). Glad to hear you're changing the belts, that on...

FIXED --- guess I should not rely on "visual" inspection. Went thru process of elimination using a multi-meter, was the fuse after all. Learnt something today. #1 lesson learned about fuses! :) Yes, a fuse can look obviously blown: electronicdesign_com_sites_electronicdesign.com_files_Fig...

Yes, it's time for another Q&A video!

Hi, can you give a hint where I should buy the gear shifter pivot? There are really many of them in the ebay, all from China. They are quite cheap. Then in the CycleMax there is also the pivot for sale, but it´s much more expensive. I quess it´s better quality material. Do you know any other places...

Be sure to replace the nylon spacers that Ram-Mount supplies with metal ones. Here we install custom made black ones instead. As time goes on, if you use the nylon ones, then continue to compress and eventually will cause the m/c to rock when being used. I had completely forgotten about that until ...

I would pull the covers off the right side of the bike and see if you can localize the buzzing sound.

What I use is a reservoir-fastened RAM mount . You remove the two machine screws fastening either the left or right clutch or brake reservoir to the handlebar, and replace them with the machine screws supplied with this mount, fastening the mount in place at the same time. Then you can clamp any RAM...

Are you getting a click from the right side of the bike when you hit the starter button?
