I wish I knew what fixed it, but I am thinking it was the sidestand switch. It is very touchy in its position.

Have you cleaned the sidestand switch?
Or cleaned out and greased the sidestand pivot bolt?(very necessary maintenance item- full disassembly)

Thanks everyone that gave me answers to this problem. After the the bike was serviced, oil and filter and air filter changed. The bike was on its kickstand (indicator illuminated), in neutral (indicator illuminated) and clutch out it started. So I don't have an issue any longer. What fixed it then?...

How about a picture and model of this mini spray gun you mentioned Welcome to the madness. Painting is quite addictive. Painted my 1500 this past spring, 3 part system - Pearl Glacier White - base coat, pearl, clear - did the trim as well. Just finished painting my '85 Limited Edition, two tone - go...

First off if you have the single Showa air shock and the other is the coilover shock then yes at 89 you probably have blown the seal in the air shock. The manual says more like 50 psi max on the Showa. If you have Progressive brand replacement air shocks,(??? You didn't say what you have on the bike...

Hello all, I'm glad to have joined the forum. Good stuff on here! I'm a new owner of an '82 GL1100 Aspencade. It is currently Sorrell brown. For all of you that have painted your bikes, I have two questions: First- How much paint did you actually need? I plan on a basecoat/clearcoat system, but I c...

I am not yet 100% sure it is the stator. I did take a multimeter and disconnect the negative cable and then measured the amps which came back as .01 which would tell me there is not a constant draw on it. I took the battery off, recharging it and when I get it started back up will put the multimete...

You may also need to clean your turn switch. The contacts get dirty.

On the flasher, just get an electronic flasher at an auto parts store to replace the old thermal type flasher, that way if you or someone wants to put in LED turn bulbs(saves draw on the stator) they will flash at the correct rate.

Turn signal flasher is under the shelter on left side.

BTW you have a gl1200 if it is an 84. Not a gl1150(no such animal).
1983 was the end of the gl1100.

Throttle shaft felt washers..... Must be on the carbs???
Maybe get felt at an auto parts(battery post felt) or at a fabric store or a thrift store-old hats....
Get leather punches of the right size for the OD- outer diam and the ID.

Greg Yes I have a local guy I talked with on Monday that has worked on these and knows the alternator is the same as the Civic and has brushes and bearings on hand. And yes I won't use an aftermarket alternator because of the post you were involved with(?) on an 06 that destroyed the ADG. But at thi...

I live 3 miles down a dirt/gravel road. Every time I go out for a ride I get 6 miles of dust. The Wing is a dust vacuum under all the plastic. With that, I usually do a dusting of the alternator, wheels, underneath and the dash/switch buttons with compressed air at days end back at the house. When ...

Update! I started checking things, fuses, wires, blew out all the dust under the seat and then around the alternator... Then the old thought came to mind.....tap on the alternator...sure enough...It is a sticking brush(es) in the alternator. Back to charging again for now. I have a call in to an alt...

What is the reason you want another harness for?

28665.jpegVin plate on my bike

You have the naked GL1200 Standard SC140 vin that the bags were added.

And to add to that there have been folks that have taken the dressed parts off the Aspencade and Interstate and made them look like a naked Standard so vin identification is necessary.

Ok, can you tell me how to tell the difference, I have one plug in for rectifier, one plug in for fuse box, and another seal unit on top of frame as well, needing to try and fined this best I can, mine is just a regular Goldwing sir There was no 'regular' goldwing. Look at the vin plate on your ste...

How about making a video to capture the sound and pinpoint the area it is at.

I'm needing a main wiring harness for a 1984 Honda goldwing gl1200, if you have one or know where I can locate one, please message me immediately, Thank you

1984 had 3 different models with different wiring harnesses.

I'm pretty sure the frames are the same on the 1000 to 1200 so, the tanks should fit unless they did some changes that I don't know. I don't think they are interchangeable between models. There were 2 different gas tanks on the 1000. The early ones have a drain bolt. The 1100s have a different tank...

If the cruise control fuse is blown, it will not charge. Check the cruise light on the dash, if it is not on with the cruise switch on, you may have a short in the harness running up the handle bar risers or around the headstock. If the fuse is blown, turn off the cruise, replace the fuse, then see...

I saw last night a couple YouTube on removing but nothing on testing them. I don't have $650 to throw away if it is something else... I hadn't heard that Ken H had passed. Bummer. I've recommended him many times over the years. There was a rebuilder here in Pahrump, but the shop he worked at closed ...

No 1800 experience here, but if you can measure power on the back of the alternator at the main terminal whatever fuse link the 1800 has is good. Then measure power on the small (excite) lead to the alternator, that should have power with key "on". I can't imagine an 1800 alternator not being repai...

Yes. The woman that makes the harness found that there was no advantage to buying and shipping the jugs. They are readily available at many stores (B&M or online). Just tell MotoJug which jug you are going to use and they will make accordingly. My daughter bought a Coleman one gallon jug to go with...
