Then you will have a bike that leans more on the sidestand.

If it is corrosion on the connectors, pick up a can of Deoxit D5. It will clean the connections and protect them from further corrosion.
Pricy, but works.

I have then on my 2012. Makes a big difference with the foot vents open.

has any one had problem with heat on your feet from the motor Are you getting to much ... not enough ... is this a trike ??? And, what year is your Wing ??? His profile shows 2008. Depending on what model it may or may not have foot warmers. Look like the base model did not have them. He hasn't res...

I change the Final drive oil every engine oil change, which is every 10K Km, I put a manual pump in the oil bottle it takes less than 5 minutes. I use gear oil from Honda dealer. I know doesn't need to be changed so often but its not expensive and doesn't take too much time to do it. Do you keep a ...

My 2012 was doing the same thing. Sprayed it with some silicone lube and that fixed it.

I had the Shinkos on my 2012. I actually got them free at Americade for second place in the poker run. I had the same problem. Plus pulling out on wet roads the tire slipped a lot. Also the front tire wandered a lot. I had them on for one year and then trashed them. Worst tires I have ever used.

Are the foot warmer vents open? Of course you don't say if it's too much heat or not enough.

thank you sir. i will try all the things you mentioned Tightening the head bearings is an involved procedure. It is not hard, but it does take time and patience. You need to follow the procedure correctly. You will also need the proper socket/sockets to use on the castle nuts and a good torque wren...

With only 11k miles, the steering head bearings should not be worn yet. I had this problem on my 2004. I re-torqued the steering head bearings and the problem disappeared. You can try increasing the front tire pressure to about 40 lbs. It may help. As far as the tires being good, a lot depends on th...

Check the ground strap on the antenna inside the trunk. Goes from the antenna mount to a screw on the bottom of the trunk. They have been know to break. Adding an amplifier probably will not increase signal. The amps are mainly used to push a good signal through a longer cable.

The only red color listed on the parts fiche is *R259P* (ILLUSION RED). Not a true red, but more iridescent. Changes color in different lighting conditions.
Look under the door for the gas cap. It will list the color codes.

By the time you put that kind of money in a 1500, you could probably buy and 1800.
The 1500 has 100 HP and 110 lb ft of torque. The 1800 has 124 HP and 125 lb ft of torque.
My 1800 can pull the same Bunkhouse near anywhere in 5th gear.

Hot Rod Lincoln, err... Goldwing! What's not to like about that. I do not recall ever seeing such an offering of revised camshafts. There are a couple variants of a "trigger wheel" that changes the ignition timing which may improve low end performance. There also is a service bulletin for...

I just tapped into the 1500's "R" lamp on the instrument panel to activate the LED panel. Since the reverse controller is under the trunk I found the wire connector under the seat and ran my wire to it. Does the 1800 have a reverse light or indicator? If not maybe the relay that controls ...

I was told by a Honda dealer that the switch was not available separately, and I had to buy the complete panel, hence the price. Don't forget, I also live in Canada, where everything costs more, and nobody knows why. Thanks for your note. You could order it here: https://www.mrcycles.com/oemparts/a...

Looks great. Would be nice to find a way to install then on an 1800.

I've been reading about the reduced luggage capacity of the 2018 + Goldwings. I can't find any specs on my 1983 Interstate. I'd like to get some idea of just how much the new Wings have, compared to what I've been used to for the last 37 years. Does anyone have the capacities of the side bags and t...

What are you towing that you need more torque? When I had my 1200, it had tons of low end. I pulled a 450lb Bunkhouse camper and never had any problems pulling out. High end was a different story. I had to run 4th gear on most small hills.

Limited warranty is just that, LIMITED. What is the mileage limit in those 24 months? I would ask just what is covered, and see it in writing, and what is the deductible. It's easy to tell you that the repair needed is normal wear and tear. The drive train is pretty much bullet proof on an 1800, unl...

The foglight switch is not part of the OEM panel. It is added when foglights are installed. As stated above, you can buy the FL switch separately.
Where did you come up with the $600 price? Partzilla shows it for about $190.

3M weatherstrip adhesive. Put a thin coat on both rubber and metal. It will hold better is you scuff up the metal and then clean it and the rubber. Brake cleaner works good. Make sure you have both pieces aligned. Once cured it will not come off.
Needs to cure for 24 hours.

What is the condition of the battery, how old is the battery. Does the bike crank and not start? A weak battery will allow the bike to crank and not start.
The ECM needs at least 10.5 volts to start. Take the battery to an good auto parts store and have them load test it.

You say the silicone spray does work for a while. The spray does not last on metal parts. Try some light grease on the catches on the opener unit. Do you hear the mechanism trying to pop the trunk? Also, try it with the trunk open to see if it's even trying to unlatch. You say it's a 'new' 17. If al...

This is an outstanding reason to expect that it is, in fact, the lever.

Or did they disturb or break one of the switches? I am not sure if the switches can cause this problem.
