You are correct. #1 is the fill plug, #21 is the drain plug.

The breaks on your wing have more then enough power for towing a trailer. I tow a Roll A Home camper and have trailer breaks. On a trip, I had an electrical issue with the trailer breaks and they were not working. The trailer was at around 600 lbs. and the wing had no problem coming to a stop. I jus...

I second adding the relay. Along with the added power to the horns, you will put less draw on the old bike wiring.

He is replacing the HIGH beam bulb, not the low beam.

I think that someone had the ball bearing size in the other post you had about what spring to use. Make sure you put some Dielectric Grease on the moving parts to keep things running smooth. I cleaned mine out on my 88 about 8 years ago. Still nice and smooth. I would not cut and splice!!!! You are ...

I would pull the top inner lit out and start from there. The plug may have come off the USB plug. Use a tester on the plug and see if there is power. If not, then start working your way to the fuse panel. Also check the wires where they go from the lid to the back of the passenger seat. They have be...

I have one on my 2012. It is more for extra protection. I have run over a few things and there are some scuff marks and small dents on mine. There are a few people that have had rocks hit the bottom of the motor and crack the case. Not many compared to how many wings that are out there, but it has h...

No, you are not missing anything. Just some people like to change their oil before it is due on the maintenance schedule because it makes them feel good, or it is easier to remember at say 5K miles. I run Rotella T6 synthetic for 8K miles or one year, what ever comes first. No problems and shifts ar...

It would be a good idea to get it done. I did mine at 32K. I did them myself. All the valves were within spec, but a few were close to being out. I now have a baseline to see what they look like at 64K.

From what you described, you need to check both the clutch switch and the kick stand switch to make sure they are working.

When I download them on my 2012, I have to do one at a time or they will not show up. So, for a 4 day trip, I download day one to the card. I make each day a separate file. I then take the card to the bike and power it up. It will tell me to import the file. I import it, and it shows up. Power it do...

The bolts are not designed to take the constant pounding. When I bought my 2012, the shipping company tied down the rear of the bike by the rear crash bars. Sure enough, when I checked, the two front bolts on both bars were broken. I have towed my wing a lot of miles the following way without any tr...

I don't remember any O rings either. The kit could be used on another bike that needs the O rings. I have had other rebuild kits that came with extra parts. Not sure why you are sucking air unless there is a fitting not tight somewhere. When I did my brakes, I rebuilt everything from the master cyli...

I checked the part numbers and they are different. Looking at the parts fiche, the Gold Wing unit is backlit, the F6B looks like it is not. So, the wire connectors will be different. If they are, you will need to replace the wire connector and leave the backlight wires out of the connector.

You don't need to pull the whole fairing off to remove the fans. You just pull off the side panels off the fairing. The fans are in there tight and a few of the bolts are a pain to get to, so take your time. It will take some twisting to get them out. There are wire connectors on top of one of them ...

Do not get SAE hose from the auto parts store! it is to small or to big. As stated, the to small hose will crack and fail over time. I got my metric bulk hose on Amazon. Just type in 3.5 mm (4.5, 5.5) Metric Vacuum Hose. Honda uses 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 mm for most of the hoses. A few of them you need to...

I also use JIS screwdrivers on my bikes. But for those rubber boot screws, the one Bellboy40 is showing will do the trick. I use the long Craftsman #2 phillips for mine because it was in the set I got years ago.

I use the Throttle Rocker brand on my 2012 with stock heated grips. It works great. You can move it around on the grip if you need to adjust it. I never find it in the way. The one I have is about 18 years old. I used it on my ST 1300 before I moved to the wing. https://www.jpcycles.com/product/503-...

Most states that have the non steady flash law are 5 flashes and then steady red. If you don't change it over to this, don't go to California. They will be more than happy to reward you with an expensive piece of paper! And you don't move you bike until you unhook them.

I am a Odyssey PC 680 fan. Mine has been in the bike for over 8 years now and still starts the bike like the day I put it in. I have even killed it twice by leaving the ignition switch on in the ACC position by mistake. Charged it back up and it is still going strong. I had one in a Suzuki that was ...

Check to see if there are any salvage yards around. Not sure how popular the wing is in Australia, but you might find a compressor there.

You would be better off picking up a complete compressor off E Bay. Otherwise you would need to put a air stem on the compressor line. Way easier to just get a newer compressor. I looked at the parts fiche, and there are no internal parts listed for the compressor. You need to purchase the complete ...

Agree with the other posts. The carb float is sticking or the valve is not seating correctly to shut off the fuel. I had this happen on a ATV carb I just rebuilt. It eventually sealed. With replacing your jets. Was the slow jet a #55? That is what Honda replaced the stock #50 with when they did the ...

Look for a referb Zumo. They are waterproof and sealed for dust. They are also built for the road shock on a bike. Mine (550) is about 15 years old now and still going strong. Because it is waterproof you can use it when it is raining. With a car unit in a case, you can't use the touch screen if you...

Another vote for the Odyssey. The one in my 1500 fits perfect. It is going on 8 years old and still starts the bike like the day I put it in. I have even killed it twice by leaving the key on in the Acc. position. Just charged it back up and it was as good as new.
