To me it sounds like your starter got fried. When it is removed, smell it ... it will probably have a strong, pungent electrical burnt smell if opened up. This happens if the starter continued spinning after the engine is started. The start button is release, but the starter does not turn off ... it...

Hopefully this is what you want.

Are you aware that there are color settings for that in you Set-Up screens.

If that does not work, got some Battle-Vision glasses as seen on TV.

i live in Florida were it is hot and I going to service the differential and just wondering if I could use synthetic gear & axle Lubricant SAE 75W-140 instead of SAE 80. also how hard is it to Replace the clutch, or should I take it to Honda and have them do it. sorry I have a 2003 gl1800 Here at J...

As always, compression, spark, and fuel.

Assuming the compression is good, pull the spark plugs and see how they are burning. Then check the spark to all.

I have a 2003 in my shop right now, and it too just got a new ECM. Every situation for repair is different, and that can greatly affect the cost for repair. In this customers case, at times he'd get an FI light, and over time it wanted to die at low RPMs, and if the side stand was lowered, code 26 w...

I can tell you that according to the wiring diagram I have for my 2013 GL the wire colors used are: Brown with white stripe = Tail light Orange = Left turn Light Blue = Right turn Green = Ground I believe those colors are an SAE (society of automotive engineers) industry standard. From my Chrysler/...

I forgot you have a trike, but you should still have access for that test after only removing the right side cover.

Sorry I dont understand what the " shelter" is Generally the shelter consists of an assembly of mainly parts #15, 16, and the radio. In the fish below, it does not show the radio. The shelter comes off as one assembly consisting of those 3 parts. Once the shelter is remove, the radio can then be re...

Thanks. I actually called US Paint and they told me that they're not into motorcycle paint anymore. You can always get a can of Honda touch-up paint, and go into various paint centers to have the color matched. Or, if you Wing still has the OEM lower center cowl, have that scanned. Up through at le...

Although I only see 5th gen body colors listed on their page, I believe US Paint was the supplier for it all.

So that you can have an answer the next time Rob steps in, he is probably asking you to do this test. However, for this test, you may not have to remove/pull loose the right saddle bag. You will have to remove the right side cover. See picture in your Service Manual ... in my manual 15-11. 12.Actuat...

I didn't see anything that appeared to be wrong. Anything else I can check? Thanks again for the help, Bill Sorry ... but I'm gonna send Techdude your way. I specifically wrote the 1st paragraph in post 5 for his info. I was hoping he'd visit this forum by now, but let me see if I can get him over ...

mileage, and year ???

If it's a GL1800 from 2001-05, a new meter lens is cheap. The next question will probably be if the FI light comes on.

Can you make a video of it with your smart phone, post it on YouTube, and paste the link here.

Tip ... play the vid yourself. If you cannot hear the noise in the vid, we won't either.

I'd recommend that you purchase new. There are stories out there where a used one seemed like a great choice. Here are a couple of reasons not to buy used: - unless the ECM was recently replaced, all 2001-03 ECMs are failing. In short, they are failing because "their DNA" says that their end is near...

A solid axel Champion uses an unmodified OEM rear shock system. The only difference is that the bottom of the rear shock mounts to a modified swing-arm instead of the OEM swing arm. Everything else is the same. Make sure the battery tests good, and that the cables are clean and tight. Pull the right...

I had to read this 4-5 times to retain it all due to the picture, but Kill switch is being replaced. Battery is new and fully charged DTC codes showed all six injectors failed Main harness to be inspected. Sometimes she gets me all twisted up !!! Regarding the DTC codes for the 6 injectors. It's no...

Does your Champion have solid or independent rear suspension.

I've seen fuses that have a hair-line crack, and to the naked eye, all was well ... but no voltage is passing thru.

That's right, it cranks over but won't start. Usually these cranks but will not start problems can be intermittent during diagnosing too. Here are some things to check for, and I would do it in the order listed: - if able to start, while running ... tap the kill switch and then with your fingers gr...

I'm gonna assume the complaint it really that it cranks over but will not start. Is that correct ???

Because a rodent is involved, check harness for chew marks.

I don't think there are a lot of F6b owners here; however, you might get better help here. Everyone over-there owns one.

... fuses all appear to be good. Any thoughts? In the world of electricity, "appear to be good" is often not good enough. Use a test light or a VOM (volt ohm meter) to know for sure, and recheck those fuses. Your camera may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse. Also, be sure your battery co...

You can order them from a Honda dealer, but all manuals ultimately come from Helm. However, a Honda warehouse may have one, but probably not. I believe they've been on bo for a while, so all Honda warehouses are probably out of them.
