It would appear that you have a defective alternator and need to return it for a warranty replacement or a refund.

Excellent. Thanks for that. I'd been thinking of Bluetooth for phone to headset communication for when the phones no longer have a phone jack in them.

It is good that you got it figures out.

So what Bluetooth adapter did you go with?
What does it do for you; tunes, phone, navigation, headset communication? Do you just use it to listen to audio from a phone or tablet or does it do more?

Who manufactures and sells the Bluetooth adapter that you installed? Does it come with the appropriate plugs to plug it into your Gold Wings system? You say there are no instructions; can't you contact the manufacturer or get info online ab out the adapter? Without more information, it is really har...

The original poster was looking for the white snap on the end of the cable.

Unfortunately Motosport can't get the part either. I ordered a couple of these clips just in case I needed a new one and the order was cancelled today. It looks like a different method for attaching the opener cable will have to be devised. Like WingAdmin says, maybe a 3D printer job. Here's what th...

Great job, Joe.
Congratulations.

I am relatively certain that the sub-frames are all the same.

That being said, a broken sub-frame is easily repaired if you have any welding skills.

I guess it's possible that you have an antenna fault. If you had the bike apart recently maybe the antenna got disconnected and or broken. I do not have a nav equipped goldwing so I don't know where the antenna is. You will have to look it up and see if you can find it and then follow the antenna li...

I think the first thing to do would be to check the fuel filter. As long as you're in there, if you haven't replaced it recently go ahead and replace it. The next thing I would check is the vacuum operated petcock which is right underneath The fuel filler door and forward of the gas tank cap. There ...

Great job, glad to hear it.

In the 23 years I have been riding and wrenching on Gold Wings, I never used BikeBandit. For some strange reason I was put off by their name.

Step one would be to check the coolant level in the overflow and the radiators.

I do not know what the service manual says but I am pretty sure there is no easy way. The fairing has to come off and I believe the radiator needs to come out. I've replaced the left radiator and fan in the past after an accident on a 2003. The fairing was off at the time because it was pretty much ...

Yes it does sound like you have a cooling problem. In those temperatures I would anticipate seeing the needle at the halfway point on the gauge. With the three GL 1500s I have owned I've never seen a temperature gauge needle go over halfway in hot weather. The normal heat range is about 1/4 scale. I...

I certainly ope it all works out. It can be an emotionally painful and drawn out process dealing with an unscrupulous dealer.

I'd been reassured all was as it should be with the bike (respected bike shop), so figured she'd be better after fresh fuel added, and fully warmed up: She wasn't! Was this reassurance coming from the dealer you bought the motorcycle from? Was it a salesman or a technician? Obviously wasn't about t...

Sorry if this isn't making much sense but I'm a rider, not a mechanic. My husbandxand I gavexa weekend ride planned for next weekend and I'd rather not do it on my Shadow 700 if possible. Can anyone give me any idea as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? Thanks! It would be beneficial i...

I can't say with 100% certainty but I'd say every bearing in the engine that is lubricated with engine oil is in jeopardy.

I also do not know how quickly they would be affected.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the brakes. DOT4 Brake fluid is used in the clutch system. Brake food will leak through the clutch cylinder into the engine and cause bearing failure.

That handle looks to be unobtainable online. You may have to canvass local, and not so local, accessory retailers to see if they have that item on the wall somewhere.

You said...

But you did not say if the oil was drained and refilled and what oil was used. Was the engine flushed of any brake fluid that may have gotten into the crankcase?

Had you replaced that bulb with an LED before you put it away for winter?

Here is a You Tube video of Chris Caliente installing a Kuryakyn 3215 handle and why he had to install it.
