Re: New Battery, hmmm
I replaced the almost 5 year old battery in my 06 a few months . I used Yuasa YUAM620BH YTX20HL-BS Battery, 310 CCA. I had to fill it with the liquid supplied, charged it in a low amp battery charger for several hours, works great. I put it on a tender whenever I park it in the garage, The old batte...

Re: Air Filter
You're doing the labor, and that's not easy, don't skimp on the product and have to re do it sooner.

Re: Dead. No power. Owned 2 days. HELP
I never use the park or lock position on any bike. That includes 8 Gold wings I have owned. They do not steal Gold Wings. A Harley once posted that his anti theft device for his Harley with the word 'GOLD WING" on it.

Re: lights wanted
I do not know where you can get them but can offer advice., They were not popular, all the bouncing around made the bulbs go out fast. Not a good idea.

Re: Battery Tender
My bikes are always on a battery tender when parked in the garage. Can you overcharge with a Battery Tender? It stops sending a charge once the battery is full. The result is that a battery maintainer won't overcharge the battery like a charger might, which can help extend the life of the battery ov...

Re: Start button
when I bought my 06 from a friend that was not able to ride for awhile some of the switches didn't work. Cruise control, shock memory button and CB transmit button. Sprayed then good a couple of times with contact cleaner, NOT WD 40. they work great now. I would try that first

Re: Thinking of adding a trunk rack
There are a couple different ways top reinforce the trunk lid. Star washers under the legs is an easy one. My 97 SE had a thin metal bar on the inside of the trunk lid that went from bolt to bolt. it was installed by the previous owner

Re: Given a 1997 GL1500 SE Canadian Limited Edition, that has fuel injection on both sides of the fairing??
No fuel injection on GWs after the '86 SE-i FI model. Having mentioned this, Wingadmin posted an article about the 1500 engine design and it emulates an FI engine in quite a few ways. There are IIBC 5 different circuits, each doing a specific function that emulates an FI engine. Honda was very inno...

Re: Given a 1997 GL1500 SE Canadian Limited Edition, that has fuel injection on both sides of the fairing??
It's called UP BADGING, people do it on cars a lot, makes others think they have a more expensive model than they have. For instance, Nissan has several models of each vehicle. S, SV, SX etc., so if you have the base model, you can put the SX emblem on it to make it look like a more expensive model....

Re: Remote keyfob?
The FOB is nice to have but after awhile some of them would not work due to Honda routing the wires by the trunk hinge and the wires would break after several years. My other 2 1800 never had an issue but the 06 I have now the remote does not work. I changed the battery ibn it but I guess the wires ...

If the bulb comes on with the key you know the bulb is good. but if you only take 4.5 gallons on fill up you not low enough for the reserve light to come on. run it about another 50 miles and see if it comes on. If not you might have a bad thermistor in the sending unit 37810-MN5-008 This is the low...

Re: Is This Plug Un-Used? Or did I goof up?
If I remember correctly the early 1800 wings had the CB plug by the side of the radio, I know on the 06 up wings Honda moved the plug by the right side key panel that opens the fairing panel
