I just wanted my headlights to stay off when starting the bike and since I usually start it on the side stand, I just cut the ground wire for the low beam relay and tied the ground wire from the side stand when it’s in the up position to the relay. This keeps the lights off until I put up the side s...

AZgl1800. I won’t go back and check up on you.

I think you got your knock sensor and oxygen sensor codes crossed up. The knock sensor codes usually point to the ECM. The oxygen sensor codes are usually pointing to a bad sensor or bad gas. Glad he got her going again.

If I have a LED flasher unit installed on my 2010 GW will the OEM incandescent signal lights still work? My bike is in the shop having a crankshaft position sensor replaced and while the deck will be all opened up for that I thought it would be smart to have the LED flasher installed. I won't be ab...

No, all 13 are in place. Is that all that remains of the bearing cage in this part of the engine? If so, you have a lot that has made it to the sump area of the case, which means the rest of the cases need to be split to find it. There’s a large drain back hole at the bottom that it probably migrat...

Sorry to say it, but nope, the rough running in conjunction with a knock sensor code points to a bad ECM(engine control module). A bad knock sensor won’t make the engine run badly at idle. This is a common failure for the 01-05 wings.

I have read that the average age of goldwing rider is a bit older. I'm wondering what the average is here on this site ? and why it's older riders on goldwings ? is it price ? or knowledge ?what is it ?? I find that at 47 I seem to be young for this group but also fine that even if going a bit fast...

Another point of why some of us leave it on all the time, is the cruise control system fuse powers the ignition line for the alternator. If for some reason the cruise fuse blows, the alternator will stop charging without any warning and you may be stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery. O...

Can we install a 2006+ agd on a 2001 wing? I have to replace the agd Thank's It can be done, but it can be expensive. The crankshaft scissor gear has to be changed as well as the rear cover and the oil pressure regulator for the clutch. Honda changed the regulator and the rear cover to accommodate ...

Wish you could fix it!! America sadly is the last place we would want to be at present. Don't really want to spend any more money on it now. It will probably become a white elephant now, like a lot of others around the world. Good for parts. I understand, some days I don’t want to be here! Don’t pa...

Ok, so, there’s either an issue with the power for the neutral light and the reverse relay or there’s an issue with the gear position switch and the ground for it. If you were in KY, I would have you on the road by now. Just ship it over here and you can tour the curvy roads of KY after I fix it! :D

The bike is currently in bits, however it was possible to push the bike even although the dash was showing the reverse was supposedly engaged. Ok, the reason I asked, is there’s really no way for the cruise/reverse module to keep the bike from starting unless the actuator is not fully in the neutra...

It doesn't make any noise because the reverse light is on and wont go off.
It will start if it feels like it, but then wont start again for a month or so.

Ok, do you know if the actuator is moving to the reverse position and locking up the rear wheels before the starter button is pushed?

An auto electrician has had the bike for the past 4 months. He is a bike rider (both road & track) and is very clever. He has access to all the Honda data and it still has him beat. The reverse was working correctly before this happened. What does it do when you try to start it and it fails, Just c...

After riding a few miles my Neutral light will come on and stay on while riding in all gears. it seems to be brighter when it's in neutral.

Do you have a gear indicator? If so, it may be damaged.

ill continue checking manana, tired and pissed, thanks for the info and help. one thing, how do i check or what do i check for with side stand switch? thanks, will get back tomorrow afternoon...again, thanks... however, in my fuming stage, i noticed, i dont have any lights obviously as stated, but ...

Yes to all the above questions Ok, did the mechanic check the reverse switch on the right side of the block? If the cruise/reverse module was changed, there’s no other ecu or processor involved with it. If the switch on the block was checked and the cables are properly adjusted, then it’s a wiring ...

Yes, that has been replaced with a new one. Ok, you said earlier that the reverse module has been replaced as well and it shorten the failure occurrences. Were you referring to the reverse regulator? Has the cruise/reverse control module been changed? Has the 4 reverse relays been swapped to see if...

In the early days the reverse light flashed while riding the bike. When the bike wouldn't start the light was on all the time. The actuator has been replaced with a new one, but it has made no difference. Ok, has the reverse regulator been looked at? A little corrosion in its connector can cause we...

What type of pliers needed to for removing/installing clamps from here part#18 and #19 https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a/hon/5053ed70f870021c54be4716/throttle-body-tubing ? Those are just spring clamps that channel lock pliers will squeeze and release by their tabs. That’s the return line and it ...

The wing has been modified to a Champion Trike so has no side stand. 10 months ago i put the bike into the shop who had it for 6 months. Replaced the handlebar switch block and replaced a cable that had parted and reset the tension. They got it to start about once every 3rd try but could go no furt...

No, it does not. I did find if I tap it with my heel, it will work.

Thanks,

Try some Triflow contact cleaner sprayed into its crack between the moving part and the stationary part of the switch, then work it up and down a bunch.

2015 Goldwing 1800 When my side stand is down, the dash light will not come on. It will start in neutral, and dies when put in gear. So it works as needed, but the dash light does not come on. It was flickering on and off. Bad Switch? Or can these be adjusted to work? Thanks, Tony 2015 Honda Goldwi...

Please tell me where C5 is, so I know where to look when it happens! It should be wrapped up in the large harness right in front of the relay bank under the seat, it’s hanging out of the harness on some bikes. It’s blue and has 20 wires in it, but they are not all connected to each other. There’s 4...

I also found the problem with the ground. It was the gang connector on the left side under the upper vent. Water has been dripping through the vent and laying in the connector causing corrosion and a enough heat to deform the plastic. I had to remove the ground from both sides and connect directly....

So, did DB clamp their shaft in a vice and squish the splines or is it machined off center? That’s some messed up stuff right there!

The scissor gear is on the crankshaft and drives the ADG.

I think Greg is thinking it’s an 01-05, they have two washers on the ADG. The 06 doesn’t have them.
