It's not YouTube, it's the site - I never wrote the code to handle YouTube shorts. :) In any case, that's not a healthy noise. Almost sounds like valve-hitting-piston kind of noise. When was the last time the timing belts were changed on this bike? A 1991 with only 10,000 miles has spent a LOT of it...

Are you getting air bubbles when you vacuum bleed, that might indicate a hose is leaking? That said, if a hose was leaking, you probably would see brake fluid weeping.

Also, try pumping the brake lever WHILE you vacuum bleed, to dislodge any air bubbles that might be in there.

Gas won't go bad that quickly.

I would first try some Seafoam in the gasoline, just to see if there might be a deposit that needs to be cleared out.

You didn't post the video...

One thing I noticed with my 1100 is that even with incredibly bright bulbs, I still was having trouble getting a lot of light out the front of it. Once I looked closer, I realized that the reflective surface on the inside back of the headlight had gone dull, and in some parts even started to flake a...

A couple more details - membership has dropped from a high of 82,000 members to only 10,000, which is why the organization is no longer sustainable. Next month will be the last time Wing World is published, and the shut down will occur at the end of this year. Insurance services will continue until ...

Did the filter fix things for you?

It's been almost three weeks since I did this, and my sprained ankle is still not fully healed. I suppose a six hour ride home after I did it was not exactly recommended therapy.

The front master is a 16mm from a VFR750. All the lines are new braided, so no bulging.. When I pull the front with moderate force, I have a firm lever +- 1" from the bar. If I do a full on hard pull, I can almost get the lever to about +- 1/2" from the bar. This all stems from a incident...

What material are the brake rotors made out of? I'm trying to decide on if I want to go full sintered or semi-sintered pads. I currently have organic pads on there and they just don't have enough grab (bite), even with a nice firm lever and pedal. But understanding that the Aspencade's front rotors...

Lithium Sulfur batteries might be just the ticket for an electric Wing. That is if it can move from the lab to the factory floor. https://drexel.edu/news/archive/2022/february/lithium-sulfur-cathode-carbonate-electrolyte Yes, I read this a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing, and just what the electr...

I have to say, I'm not entirely surprised by this. With the poor quality of management that took over a few years back, it was only a matter of time. They made some REALLY poor decisions, and did not plan well for the future. I hadn't made this information public before, but with the demise of GWRRA...

When the bike's fan comes on, it adds electrical load, which will slow down the engine, which will affect the vacuum readings that you're trying to match. So you use an external fan to blow through the radiator to keep the bike cool, and prevent it from turning on its own fan.

No, the "cancelled" is just a stamp I used on the thumbnail. I couldn't find a "discontinued" stamp image to use.

Thanks guys. Realistically, I've never used it much so I wasn't aware of the smoke issue. Got the timing belts done but had a time of it. The pulse generators were glued to the block due to over use of thread sealer at the factory. I followed wingadmins article. It was a very good tutorial. Thanks!...

Honda has stated that ALL of its vehicles - cars and motorcycles - will be fully electric by 2040. They already have patent filings on hybrid and electric motorcycles, so it's coming...

I posted a video on this...

Go to the GL1500 Section and click on the yellow "New Post" button.

Yup, it's that time again.....

Nothing improper about the oil you picked. A 15w-40 oil is readily pumpable well below freezing temps, so for the majority of riders it will work for most all riding seasons. Rotella T4 15w-40 is used by many as motorcycle oil with no issues. Diesel oils in general work well in shared sump motorcyc...

This thread is way off track, and veering into politics, which is guaranteed to end in a flame war (it always does). No more political posts on this thread please, or the thread ends.

So doesn't sound like ALL the Goldwings...just some. I suspect this might mean the non-DCT Wings will go away. Why would the DCT goldwings have lower emissions than those with manual transmissions? One of the ways manufacturers are modifying vehicles to get around the Euro 5 standard is by increasi...

Take the seat off and the inner steering covers. Strap on both sides of the frame, right behind the crosspiece in front of the trunk, as well as around the steering head. You can safely lift the bike that way.

The fuel system currently has about 2 gals of gas with an entire bottle of Sea Foam added. am also getting what smells to be oil smoke out of both exhausts. My guess here is you are smelling Seafoam instead of oil, That's a REALLY strong mix you have there. Try to ease open the throttle with choke ...

Might be a little bit viscous for low-temperature riding, but for normal, everyday riding it should be fine!
