Cranks over but just won't start? hmmmm, ,, , These beasts are VERY power hungry at start up. My first thought is that your battery needs to have 12.5+ volts without a load, , ,and anything less than 11 volts WITH a load could be problematic. How old is the battery and do you have a DVM (digital vol...

Didn't know the '94 GL1500 had a speed sensor, , , sounds like something the ECM would control but I have no idea what pin its on, , ,

Sorry I couldn't help more, , , I'll be watching (& learning) though

Dennisml, That Unobtainium 2.1 (radio blank-off) panel looks and fits seamlessly on your centershelter! The Unobtainium 2.0 is an Ignition panel that allows for two 2" gauges, voltmeter or oil pressure or anything else. Thanks for the pic and you deserve cudos for an outstanding job!! Which radio di...

The 21 days may NOT be enough to curb the infection of this pandemic. It COULD take another 3-6 weeks to flatten the curve, ,look at how it took close to 12 weeks before China was able to report NO NEW CASES OF INFECTION. (thats assuming you believe a single word from China). The point is, , ,the in...

IIRC the lines I got were by HEL brand and both front lines went in relatively easily, , ,took the better part of an afternoon though. There are 2 "clamps" on the frame just up from the lowest part of your fairing that need to be "opened" to get the new cable on. They're welded on one side and just ...

Only reasonable cause now is the rubber hoses could be an issue if they "balloon" up with the pressure of the fluid. Steel braid brake lines made a difference on my beast, , , not a MAJOR difference, but it was noticeable. They are a bit "spendy" but for peace of mind, you should probably check em o...

Much of what you are describing could be related to a battery issue. And its a common problem that most riders have gone through. A DVM (Digital VoltMeter) is the tool to check voltage, , you wouldn't change a set of spark plugs without a spark plug socket. Use the right tool for the job. Take a few...

Am I correct in assuming that when you hit the start button you can hear a click but the engine doesn't turn over and crank? You say that the starter is good when you "bench-tested" it? I would start at the battery to eliminate it as a possible cause, , , Using a hand-held voltmeter, check that the ...

Silicon Valley (Bay Area) and 6 counties with about 7 million people are in a "Shelter-in-place" condition. After doing my best to make sure family, friends and neighbors are doing OK it was time to "polish the Beast". She looks good now, but what do I do for the remaining 20 days????? I've ordered ...

When I decided to tether my side panels to the bike, I leaned toward the phrase that "CHEAP AND GOOD" will do, , instead of "Expensive and good". I have had a few years worth of VERY good luck with plain 'ol fishing line from the frame through the base of the "boss"(the stud that goes into the gromm...

It has been said that seat height on '88's-'94's were 30.3 inches. I'm sure thats on a stock seat but I don't know what the "air pressure" was set at on the rear shocks for that to be true.

The flag has the end folded and double-stitched already, , , and I sure as hell aint no Betsy Ross :lol: The brand is "In the breeze" out of Bend, Oregon and well made. I was wondering if anyone knew of any product I could apply to the end to keep the fabric more "connected" to prevent fraying. I ap...

I have been flying an American Flag on my beast for a few years now but have trouble keeping the flag from "fraying" at the end after a few months of riding. I want the flag to look good for as long as possible but no matter how "sturdy" the stitching looks when new, , it always seems to give way an...

The '88 '89 models had a relay below the trunk for the fuel pump that would power the fuel pump once the key was turned on, , you could hear the pump "prime" for about 2 seconds. From '90 onward, they used the ECM (electronic control module) to power the fuel pump and there was no "prime" sound when...

From what I see, , , #3 and #4 cylinders are your problem. The readings from the coil and ECU point to a bad connection or a bad device for the #3 and #4 pistons. Try swapping coils to see if the "suspect" coil affects the #1 and #2 , or #5 and #6 piston which will prove that you need to replace tha...

That mileage is quite a bit lower than I would expect. A few tips, , , , 1.) Some bikes don't really "like" 91 octane and its not really gonna help, , ,go with the 87 octane and see what the mileage is after two or three tank fulls. 2.) If you use the choke to start the bike, , ,MAKE SURE you turn i...

There is probably one "input" line from the reservoir to the rear master cylinder, and two "outputs", one to the front left brake and one to the rear left brake. I don't think it matters which line you use for output to front or rear since the master cylinder will put equal "pressure" to each line.

Hmmm, , ,your question seems a bit confused about the brake setup, , The front right brake is controlled by the brake lever on the right handlebar and the master cylinder/reservoir there. The front left brake is linked to the rear brake pedal through the master cylinder behind and below the battery....

There are dozens of videos on Youtube if you search "How to bleed brakes on GL1500". Watch a bunch of them to give you a decent idea of what is involved. Some are decent and some aren't. Another source is; https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=29447 or even; https://www.goldwingfacts.co...

Since you just bought the bike, I suggest the first thing you do is CHANGE/BLEED front and rear brake fluid to see if the existing fluid is partially causing the mushy-ness. A bottle of DOT4 is far cheaper than paying someone and you can do it in a small(ish) area. Use of "speed-bleeders" is highly ...

GOOD JOB!!!

Only thing left to do now , , , RIDE 'ER TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!!!

Is it cranking over? Battery should be fully charged, , ,if "no load" voltage is below 11 volts, it might not start because the coils need a bunch of juice to fire it off. Did you remove the plugs when your changed the timing belts? Were you careful to put the correct plug wires on the correct plug?...

I replaced the OEM bulbs with LED bulbs a couple years ago and the improvement in appearance was stunning. I used the DIY thread on this site to get the bulb numbers and they worked out great. It seems that SuperbriteLED's have "updated" their bulb numbers, , some newer bulb info is nearer the last ...

Glad to hear the timing belts were correct, , and changing the belts will be a piece of cake.

I tend to agree that the pilot/idle screws need to be checked/replaced AND those float bowl gaskets should be changed out.

The 41K miles isn't the main reason for checking the timing belts, , the fact that those belts are probably 27 years old is the most relevant factor. 27 yr old belts with 41K can "look" perfect but the "BEST" idea is to put on new ones and make sure the timing marks line up correctly. You've done a ...
