If you like looking over the windshield the vent is not as important. If you like looking through your windshield then the vent becomes much more important. It then makes a huge difference especially in warmer weather.

Did you check for loose connections and corrosion at all terminals?

Often when you hit the starter and everything goes dead, the problem is a bad connection on a battery cable - either on the terminal connecting it to the battery, the battery ground cable connection to ground, or inside one of the battery cables itself. The connection or cable can be good enough to...

Rebuild the petc0ck, kits are cheaper and it's easy.

You wasted money on premium fuel, it's premium because it has addatives to decrease volatility, it's a little harder to ignite.

Solid advice from Crystal, as always.

Guessing 1 of 2 things. As Denver said, clogged gas cap. Or fuel shut off. Maybe check condition of vacuum line to fuel shut off valve.

It sounds like a stuck float or dirt in the needle seat.

I agree with Blu, it sounds like the battery. And if you don’t have a DVM I’m sure someone locally could test your battery. That would be a good starting point.

Happy to hear you are up and running.

Huge help. Thanks Crystal. You are a wealth of knowledge,as are many members on this site.

Does anyone know if these shocks will fit my ‘96 Aspencade. I think they are 13”.

If it’s the same article I remember reading it was quite lengthy and the intake was made from scratch. From parts acquired from a hardware store and welded together. There were a lot of bugs to iron out as you can imagine and I can’t remember if he ever did quite get it running smoothly.

I use a magnetic screwdriver with JIS bit and as many extensions I need to get me there.

Fuel shut off diaphragm maybe?

I could find no instructions concerning the O-rings. I called Progressive and they were no help either other than telling me that the 416‘s were discontinued and they no longer service them.

The repair manual calls for 14ft/lbs. I’m not sure I would do even that. There is a fine line between enough and too much torque. Just enough to seal the washer and keep the bolt from backing out.

Millerized post/picture should be a sticky under "How To". I searched and read, far and wide...missed it. I wish I would have seen it sooner, saved me some time.

He even has some pics included. A drill bit about the same size or larger than the hole for the Allen wrench. Drill down abou...

The allen head bolt must be removed first before you can bump the seal out. It can be difficult depending on how long it’s been in and how hard it has been torqued.Make sure you have a very tight fitting Allen wrench. Make sure you have a very tight fitting Allen wrench.

Thanks for clearing that up for me George. Just judging from how well you took care of your 1200, you and that 1500 will be just fine. I have a feeling it will be in good hands.

Congratulations Alemayehu on your new ride. I’m fairly sure you’re going to get many hours of enjoyment out of your 28 year old gem. And by the way, I totally agree with your signature.

That is the first time I’ve heard of a “gizmo”that can kill the GL1500. My opinion, ride it and shift it and if there are no transmission issues, buy it. You will have a hard time coming across a better deal for a Goldwing of that year and model. Timing belts should of ultimate priority.

According to Partzilla it is the same OEM part number
