If it is a GoldWing owner, usually they are looking at those because they are not quite financially ready for their Wing to be a real trike. Unfortunanly, most end up disappointed with the ride and the amount of effort that is required to turn them. Those kits drive from the rear center wheel, but a...

As I mentioned earlier, 2002 bought in 2013 less than 7,000 miles. The seller told me it snatched a few seconds after changing up to 5th when he bought it at 4,000 miles. I find it extremely hard to believe someone could wreck a perfectly good "Awesome feat of engineering" (not my words) after poss...

I never have but am sure you would need a new rear stay. It is part #14 in the fishe below. The best place to get one would be from a trike shop. Often they are removed and discarded when a Wing is trikes. https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/hon/50bd2b9af870022a6884f25a/engine-guard Actually, I just...

Then at this point you need a 24k service with spark plugs. You might want to have your valves adjusted too, since the spark plugs need replaced and those need to come out to do a valve adjustment. The other important part about a 24k service is that the coolant gets replaced too. It's 5 coolant cha...

Most will describe your issues as a "hot start surge." To clarify, after turning the Wing off as you've described ... at operating temperature, for a short time (5-15mins), and restarting, it can surge to a point of it dying. The surge will completely quit after about 2-3 mins. A fuel additive will ...

I first posted this in the Valkyrie Riders Club after a ride last Thursday. Good luck with reporting your issue to the NHTSA. It's called ghost shifting. Apparently the term came from 10-speed riders. I've never heard anyone describe it as "transmission disconnect" but you've accurately described i...

Many of your parts still have good life left in them. On the other hand, certain parts are known to fail. For example, you might want to replace the final drive unit. Another is the drive shaft. Since the engine is out, you might consider replacing the alternator drive gear. I can also tell you that...

On a 5th gen Wing, the oil level is checked why it is still dripping into the sump area. It is called a dynamic read. Be sure to follow Honda's instructions completely. - put it on a center stand - start and run 3-5 mins - check the level between the 2-3 min mark Thanks WingAdmin for catching my er...

Actually, I don't think that gray connector goes to your headlamp motor and am trying to place it. Does your Wing have ABS ???

Is it time for new tires with thicker tread ???

The harness with the arrow might be your culprit as to why you turn signal switch arm came loose. Never should any wires or harness be rubbing or touching in the fork area as the forks are fully moved from side to side or moving up and down. That harness needs completely re-routed by following the p...

He's not alone with cracks there, and I've heard of some having their frames welded too. However, the frame should really be replaced. There are plenty of used frames for sale.

What makes conventional superior to Honda synthetic for these bikes? Synthetics can cause problems, and I believe Honda has figured that out too. There are 5 or 6 known ones, however my memory rarely allows me to remember them all at once. - clutch plates blueing - dry start rod knock - sprague gea...

Any time you change oil it will shift better with the new oil than it did with the old. Actually I used both and never noticed a difference in the way or sound in shifting.

That is so true. However, 5th gens even shift better with new oil and cold weather.

Honda GN4 conventional oil continues to be the best oil for 5th gens.

Maybe you are?

Today I saw another smoker who was still alive. Like many, he looked 30 years older than he was.

My 2001 GL1800 triked with a dft conversion. Every once in a while I will shift into OD and it will seem to engage, and take off ok, then a few seconds later it will click as if the original shift did not completely engage. Is this a warning of something to come, or is it normal ? Ed Sorry Ed, but ...

Thanks for the info to you all. To Goldwing Greg: My Goldwing doesn't make the same noise of the bike in the video, maybe I didn't explained properly, After I **** from forth to OD a few seconds later I can hear a grinding noise like the gear jumps out and quickly goes back in, I'm sure there is a ...

Year and mileage is always helpful !!! Yes I see your Avatar says 2005, but for all I know you're asking about your buddies Wing, or you've upgraded to another year. 5th gens should not have that kind of smell. Any miss firing, hesitation, wanting to die, idle surge ??? Pay close attentions while sh...

Others have bought used PGM-FI parts on eBay and have had problems too. It seems some seller will resell their bad units to recoup their repair costs. Unfortunately, "screwing thy neighbor" is beginning to be the American way.

Mine did that once before this happened. Be very careful. Wow ... 3 Wings on one thread. All with major transmission issues. Sorry ... but you also have a serious transmission problem. Many will think they shifted incorrectly, but their issued is more major. As in the OPs case, not having it fixed,...

All Honda manuals come from Helm. Some have been on back order for a while.

No ... just make sure all conditions are right. - engine running for it to back-up - side stand up - transmission in 'N' He's got a trike. Are they the same? Except the side stand part? Yes ... except that most trike kits either tape the side-stand switch in the "up" position, or by-pass the side-s...
