Sounds like a small leak for sure, , ,remember a while back when you dealt with the water temp sensor?? The sealant/tape on the threads of that sensor would probably be the first place I check for a small drip.

There is a really good DIY (with pics) that will walk you through the easiest way to remove the mirrors without any trouble; Check this one out, , , , https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10998 There is a thread that discusses a VERY similar issue with the plastic/ABS fairing and mirr...

There was a discussion about an extra fuel tank in the left saddlebag a while back, , , https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33462 You're the first that I've read who wants to put the aux tank behind the license plate between the saddlebags though. I'm questioning your success if you t...

I have replaced the OEM fuel pump which failed, with the NAPA/Carter P72190 and new strainer with 12" Gates 27093 submersible hose. Specs and confirming "member tests" seemed to show that the pump was closest to the OEM specs. Additionally, the cost was a fraction of the cost to replace with an OEM ...

A decent fix used by many riders is two-fold;

1.) inflate tires to a tick below maximum (as stated on sidewall)

2.) Put 2-3 oz. of Balance beads (dyna beads or CounterAct seem to be popular)

12 mpg is horrible, , , If it were MY ride, I'd strongly consider, 1.) doing a compression test on ALL cylinders to compare with the "specs". 2.) Check my spark plugs to "read" their condition and focus on any that show black sooty electrodes. You say that you've read that the fuel petcock could cau...

There are too many possible causes, , , but my first thought is, Have you considered a Fork Brace to stiffen up the front forks and make them more "solid-feeling"? Maybe consider jacking up the front end and see if you get "wobble" when you force the wheel to the left. Make sure all the bolts/nuts a...

After letting my beast sit for 8-10 years, I was lucky that my carbs and hoses were in good shape, , , BUT I've seen where "gas leaks" have been successfully diagnosed, , , , I would be less surprised that one, or BOTH of your floats are stuck. Inspect the fuel hoses carefully too, , , maybe one cra...

Oh OK, , those panels have been tough to get. The Unobtainium 2.1 panels that I am involved with making is a flat panel that fits the hole where the OEM stereo sits. The panel provides a form fitted surface to mount a new stereo with all the high-tech bells and whistles. I've shipped them worldwide ...

I didn't know there was another source for that panel other than what I have. I see you joined a few days ago, , , if you had emailed me, I would've saved you time and effort, and gladly helped you with one of those Unobtainium 2.1 panels. I've shipped the Unobtainium 2.1 panels all over the globe, ...

Which brand/model of marine radio is that, and what did it cost, from where? Looks good What features does it have? USB? AUX-IN? BLUETOOTH? Is it 4 ch 40Watts to speakers?? Were you able to get the left handlebar controls to work with the new stereo?? How are the buttons for "ease of use while ridin...

looks like a decent unit, , , does it get sun-glare in direct sunlight?

Jtd,
Glad to hear you found the color code under the gas door, , , ,What color code was there???
I might need to update my documents if it differs from what I told you.

Good luck with your project, , ,

The '89 Red is called "Candy Wineberry" (R114CU), and the '95 Red is called "Candy Spectra" Red (R176C), OR the other reddish one is called "Candy Garnet" Red (R199C). I don't think the exhaust covers are interchangable color-wise because of the different color codes. But honestly, I'm just not sure.

I agree with Erdeniz, ,atleast regarding the BAS on my '91, , the BAS is below the trunk on the RIGHT side. I removed the seat and the right side saddlebag to get to it (4 bolts for the seat and 4 bolts for the saddlebag). I even think you can just wiggle the saddlebag away/out far enough to access ...

Checking the wiring down by the battery/fuse area is a good place to start. My thoughts are more along the lines of the "pressure build-up" in the gas tank usually caused by a clogged gas cap not "venting" as needed. Was the weather fairly warm?? Do you hear a "whoosh" when you remove the gas cap to...

Digividsmith, , The documentation I have says that the '93 SE called "Pearl Glacier White" lists a code of NH326M. I went through the entire list and find that the '97 Aspencade "Pearl Glacier White" has the code of NH326P. The "equivalent" ColorRite paint is listed as 2660 for NH326M, but I am not ...

My first thought is "battery condition", , , what's the voltage with NO LOAD, , what's the voltage WITH LOAD? If both those are in the 12.7 V or better, , ,start investigating the BAS (bank angle sensor) as I notice that you've got the trunk/bags raised up.

My .02 cents, , , , Trust what AZgl1800 (John) says about the Madstad, , ,he knows of what he speaks. The cost of a new windshield is something only YOU can make a decision about. . . HOWEVER, , I also endorse the FIRST attempt to resolve this issue should be to raise that windshield as high as poss...

Those don't look right, , to me. My boards were put on 20+ years ago and went on in about 20 minutes without a problem.

It looks like you have two different brands/styles of board.

I replaced an OEM fuel pump a couple years ago using the NAPA/Carter pump and its still working great, , ,I will NOT discredit member-754's comments, ,merely state that unless the Carter pump quality control has fallen drastically in the last couple of years, ,it worked fantastic for me. The NAPA/Ca...

I would guess that the 2500-3000 rpm puts the exact amount of tension on the belts to make em "sing" like that, , ,lower or higher is enough to nullify the sound, , ,but NOT the problem.

+1 on the timing belt tensioners, , , ,it is possible/likely that the squeal will get progressively worse as the bearings get more and more abuse/worn. If I were you, , , I would consider taking the hint from the "squeal" that the tensioners are NOT HAPPY and check em out before they crap out comple...

My right mirror is vibrating more than the left mirror so I've been wondering how to resolve the issue before it falls off completely. I wonder, , , if the threaded plastic "sleeve" becomes stipped so the bolt won't seat properly, and tighten the mirror to stop the vibration, , maybe it would be pos...

Sounds like you should be alright, , ,How are those spark plugs though? New, properly gaped plugs will help. Plug #6, (left rear), closest to the shifter is the easiest to get to without alot of tupperware removal. It might be a good indicator of "plug condition". That Seafoam/gasoline mixture will ...
