I was in Sanford and asked an old timer how to get to Machias. All he said was "you caant get theyah from heeah.

I learned something new today. Four years and I just found out the fan blow backwards at stop. Mine rarely come on anyway.

I should have explained why I went to higher pressures. After about 1,000 miles I started to notice a hum while cornering. Inspection showed the beginning of cupping on the front tire so I went from the spec pressure to 42 psi which does give a harsher ride but the cupping has not worsened. I raised...

Not sure I can be of help, but I bought a 2016 at year end. It came with E3s which I run at 45 rear and 40-42 front. Lower air pressures give a more comfortable ride but also mushy. I have not experienced the jarring you are getting at any pressure.

Let's all be clear.
GL1800 2017 and earlier never came from the factory with LED headlights.
GL1800 2018 and up came factory equipped with LED headlights as noted previously.

More info required.
Is this a 2008 1800? Can't be if its "new".
Recently painted? By Whom? What paint? Was it properly prepped?

Ground wires are notorious for developing bad connections. The high resistance cause by poor conductivity is heating up the wires cause the insulation to burn. Clean the wire connections to assure good conductivity and that should help but not necessarily cure the problem.

I'm not familiar with 1100s, but first check the starter switch to make sure it is working properly (making contact and passing current). Then check the kill switch to make sure its not shorted out (you can bypass it with a jumper). Also check the ignition switch for proper function.

OK so it started as reserve fuel capacity and access and has expanded to fuel mileage etc. Has anyone given any thought of effort on the Brand of fuel we use? Many years ago I had a '66 Superhawk. As I was young and suffered from the dreaded disease of fundsrlow, I wanted the best fuel mileage I cou...

I'm with c-dub. This year instead of winterizing it I'm taking it to Florida (Odessa) for 3 months where I'll be shooting trap and riding my ride.

Why bother? A total waste of a perfectly good GW1800.

That's what I get for making an assumption (that it was ABS). I should have realized a different material was involved. Guess the older age is slowing me down. When using dissimilar materials its common to use a third, usually a rubber (butadiene), as a bonding agent, blended in. We developed such a...

I've been out of the Plastics Industry for about 15 years but I do remember a few things and offer some to help you all understand what is happening with the ABS. ABS is a blend of Acrylonitrile (for strength), Butadiene (Rubber for flexibility and impact resistance) and Styrene (to reduce cost). It...

Forgot to add, they all bite the big one. Sorry

I avoid Google as much as possible. Yes I have a gmail account but that is not used for normal use. That's the throw away account.

I thought I was nuts. I have the 20s and the exact same issues. I thought it was me so I just use one Sena bluetoothed to the phone. No problem. Turn on the second Sena and wham. I have not and probably will not take the time to figure out the procedure that works. As said IT SHOULD WORK, OTHERS DO!

Steve, I cant recall the models I have had but it started with hunting. I purchased two units from Cabelas back in the 80s. The only reason I don't have them anymore is that they "grew legs". I purchased a RINO in the early 90s and still have it. It did go back to Garmin once for repair and still wo...

Sorry I'm late on posting. I've been on the road at several trap shooting events. I WAS a long time Garmin user. Got tired of them dropping support after a few years forcing an upgrade to a newer model. I have a gps in my tundra, but Toyota is no better than Garmin or Honda. Now I use my iPhone and ...

I have a toy hauler which has six d-rings in the floor, three on each side. I checked out everything I could find. Use two straps on the triple tree, one each side. Two on the frame members under the battery/brake cylinder and two on the frame under the front of the rear bags. I use a condor wheel c...

I got mine on Amazon. There is a loss of signal strength but I don't use it much anyway. Its nice to have that big whip out of the way.

I'm waiting to hear that now your neighbor wants you to replace his wire fence

I need to apologize for my outburst. There is no need to bring personal feelings or politics into this forum. Guess I had a bad day. I'll try not to do this again.

You can use the OEM lens and just replace the incandescent bulb with an LED. SoCalMoto gear has them as do Cyclemax and Amazon. I just replaced my rear bulbs with LEDs. Now I have to swap out the Flasher as the OEM flasher does not work well with LEDs (rapid flashing due to resistance). I have the f...

Yes, the Mass RMV has been negligent on processing out of state DUI cases for more than 15 years. They are more interested in catering to illegal aliens and welfare recipients than to care about taking unsafe drivers off the road, after all, many of them are the same people. We call them democrats. ...

I had a deposit on a new Indian Chieftain after a test drive. Sweet machine. Then I test rode an F6B. Then I couldn't decide. I kept the deposit on the Indian but I bought a 94 GL1500 to ride until I could decide. I knew I wanted fuel injection so it was either the Goldwing or the Indian. I never co...

On my '16 the starter does not work with the kill switch engaged. Where you found a partially eaten air filter, my first suspicion is that some residue found its way into the fuel system and possibly the cylinders. I would first check the plugs for fouling and if possible use an inspection camera to...
