Sorry, I had taken the 1st disc out of a clutch pack I had on the shelf and measured it. I went back and took out the second friction disc, it measures 120mm inside. I hadn't noticed that first one being different.

Thats ok. thanks for rechecking.

How about 127mm (5.010") ID, 147mm (5.790") OD

Thanks.
I see there a lot narrower on the friction area than the gl1000 ones.

Hi Looking for some information on the clutch plates for a 1100.
Has any one got a spare one in there garage they could measure for me
looking for the internal and external diameter not including the tabs if possible.

Thanks

I have just had fitted a Avon cobra trike tyre on my 1500. not sure if you do notice any difference. but I didn't have any handling problems in the 1st place.

from what I can see is the tyre has a very slight flat profile.

Its a warning buzzer lets you know the indicators are on. disconnect it replace the relay and try the lights and indicators. it properly been wire up wrong.

Are the carbs balance and set right. sounds like the carb pistons dash pots are jumping.

The fuel pump only powers up when you press the starter button on later models.

To test disconnect the wire to the pump and run a 12volt feed from the battery

Did you balance the carbs and set the pilot jet when you refitted them

What was the relay fitted for. it looks like the wires from that haven't burnt.

The valve setting on a 1000 are not all the same
inlet .1mm .004"
exhaust .13mm .005

and should only be adjusted when cold like left over night

Hi, My bike is 1976 and im supposing they did all of those things but to be honest with you i do have some very serious doubts. Setting up the split timing is beyond my abilities as is stripping and rebuilding my carbs as they are not as straight forward as my old cb550 four carbs were, they were a...

What year is the bike. did they set Float levels and balance the carbs when they rebuilt and fitted. set up the split timing up on the dyna pickups David Silver sell the carb kits. for Goldwing's I have a set here that have just cleaned and rebuilt for a 1100 with all new gaskets and jets. ready to ...

Applying heat to the area of the sprang might loosen it up a heat gun or even a strong light bulb might do it. Another more involved method requires drilling a hole in a spot so you can squirt solvent right at the sprang's sprang's and plugs. Last pic shows a port added and the straw in the hole..O...

I'm not able to bum start it unfortunately. It's in my back yard and the drive way is on an uphill. What should I do if I pour the seafoam in and I can't get the starter to engage? Would I have to drop the engine to change the starter clutch out? Or is there a simpler way? Is it not possible to pus...

Have you checked the yellow and blue wires for continuity or any breaks in the wires

OK..... Perhaps if you watch this youtube clip you will have a better understanding of what the folks here are talking about. thanks to who ever posted this clip on the net................

I believe that clip was done by virgilmobile a forum member!.

Have a read of this it explains how to set the points and timing up. take from naked goldwings site. as previously said it a real pain to do but take your time and you will get it right.

Have you read Dave0430 post. you are looking for these two units. I think there along side the battery. swap then over https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1981-82-Honda-gl500-gl-500-silverwing-2x-regulator-ignition-unit-CDI-ignitor-ECU/392070844494?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D491...

Ok unplugged and plugged all plugs i could see, checked ohms on pulse coils, they are the same i have fire on front 2 wires but none on back 2. i switched the yellow and blue wires on coils and spark moved to the rear wires, makes me think the black cdi box is malfunctioning.any thoughts? When you ...

You can see where the drain hose goes on these images

Sound like a coil. When you swapped the coil wires blue and yellow did you swap the ht leads

The carb may have been flooding for a while that could have caused the back fire!
fuel leaking from the tube is from the float chamber you will have to have the carbs off to check the floats

Hi 1st you don't want to be checking ohms readings with the ignition on or any 12 volt live feeds.
It sounds like the coil igniters check the connections and try swapping the coil igniters over

Don't the buttons just operate the electric valves?Screenshot_20180628-135525.png Any hoses in that area may be only for the carbs not the suspension. Just guessing. Yes you are right. theres no hoses in the area for the compressor. just the switch controls. you may have dislodged a wire or plug to...
