If you have power on the same connectors on both bikes and neither headlight works on one bike then the only thing it can be is a bad ground. Check the ground points on the frame and behind the fairing and you should find a bad connection on the green (ground) wire. It could possibly be a broken wir...

Sounds like the float valves are stuck closed. If it has not been sitting to long, try putting some Seafoam in the fuel inlet hose and after a day of soaking, rap on the carbs with a plastic handled screwdriver or some other item that won't damage the carbs. This may unstick the valves and allow fue...

That is your idle adjustment knob. You can turn it to raise/lower your idle RPM. You may have to force some lubricant down into it as they have a tendency to freeze up.

Maybe you misunderstood what they said and they wanted you to check back with them in an hour and your bike has been sitting there ready to go for five hours. Just my $0.02 worth. Don't ask how I know, but, I always like to do my own maintenance anyway. I don't know the quality of your work but, I d...

If you wonder about your 'Tip Over Sensor' called Bank Angle Sensor, you can have your local Honda dealer run your VIN to see if it has ever been changed. There is a recall on '88 to '93 models and if it hasn't been changed they will order a new one for you and replace it at no charge (FREE). The re...

And Honda always placed the 'SE' , 'Aspencade', or 'Interstate' emblem on the left saddlebag at the same height as the 'Honda' emblem on the right. That 'Special Edition' emblem is quite lower than the 'Honda' emblem, which makes me think an ADD ON. Russell Those who say it cannot be done should try...

Try removing the kill switch (two screws underneath) and check the two electrical connections for the kill switch. Years of vibration can sometimes cause these connections (screws) to become loose and then you have no spark or fuel pump. Russell Those who say it cannot be done should try not to inte...

Check the terminals under the kill switch. Years and miles of vibration can cause these connections to loosen and then you don't have power to the fuel pump or ignition. I had that problem on my 92 Interstate and if I had known about that I would not have had to be towed home. Russell Those who say ...

Find someone with a 3D printer to scan one in and print a copy for you. That seems to be the thing now-a-days.

If you don't mind modifying the trailer, try installing a power roof vent to exhaust the air near the front. Then install intake vents in the rear walls and build sealed filter boxes over the intake vents. That will allow the air in and keep the dirt out. Then go to Harbor Freight and purchase a 15 ...

Keep watching ebay and other auction sites. Be patient. Those covers won't stop you from enjoying the ride so, don't get in a hurry. They will show up, just when you are about to give up looking. And for the right color and for a decent price. It took me a year to find a left side inner fairing in c...

It would be interesting to try it. If it bolts up correctly, it may work, as the later model would ground through the housing and simply not use the negative cable. I'd be apt to trying it. Let us know if you decide to try it. Russell Those who say it cannot be done should try not to interrupt those...

Been There/Done That: Run a whole can of Sea Foam in a tank of gas. You may have to run a couple of tanks to clean the carbs out but, keep the choke on slightly until it starts to clean up and idle higher. Soon, you will be able to take the choke completely off for a smooth idle. Russell Those who s...

NO!!! That's what they make Harleys for.

I had a similar problem with my 86 Aspencade. I found that the right front carb wasn't getting any fuel. I removed them and cleaned this carb and for a short time it ran great. But, that didn't last long and back to the problem. After two removals I came to the conclusion that the float valve was st...

Simple solution: If you want a crotch rocket, buy a crotch rocket and sell the fine Goldwing.

Why wouldn't you want the shifter shaft to rotate arount the axis if the shifter shaft, instead of around an axis that is 29mm from the C/L of the shifter shaft? Because there is a secondary shifter shaft that is ofset from the main shifter shaft by 29mm which causes an offset pressure on the shift...

I modified my cornering lights. I originally ordered extremely bright white LEDs for my tail lights and then learned from WingAdmin about the proper color of LEDs. So, I ordered red ones for the tail lights and used the white ones for the cornering lights. I have them set for the lower brightness wh...

So, if you turn the key only two clicks to the left,(off but not locked) do the lights still stay on? If they do I would think you have a sticking relay. If they go off at that point, I would think that maybe you have defective ignition switch. One more click to the left and the lights should be on ...

An easy fix for this has been described in various threads, find the black/white wire feeding the ECU and coils. Clip this wire, and use it to trigger a relay instead of feeding the ECU and Coils. Run a direct line (fused) from the battery thru the relay contacts to feed the ECU and coils directly ...

I have been riding this bike for about five years and have never used a battery tender on it. It has always started right up, even first start in the morning. I just push the choke down, turn the throttle a couple of times, and press the start button. It would be running in less than five seconds. B...

I think I might put a volt meter on one side and a weather proof power outlet on the other side to charge cell phone. The power outlet would be more convenient than in the fairing pocket.

So. . what is the outcome? Did this help? Or are you still having problems with it?

OK. . . My 92 Goldwing Interstate has, over the past couple of months, gotten very hard to start when cold(first start in the morning). I can crank, and crank, and crank for about two minutes and run a nearly new battery down too low. Then I jump it off with my truck and after about ten minutes it w...

I think I remember paying about $5.00 each but these replacements keys are not HONDA keys. If you have the original key they can PUNCH a new generic replacement key which should be exactly the same cut as the original was when it was new. The code on the key will allow them to copy, precisely, the o...
