I think one of the problem when buying a older bike is you have to be able to tinker you're self, i dont mean replacing engines etc, but removing pipes to replace exhaust gaskets etc, 5 yrs ago i bought a 91 with 132000 km's on it, the owner was one of those guys that like to put on stickers, cheap ...

there actually was an anniversary addition produced for the Canadian market, i posted some pics of the badging a year ago

Yup use the chisel and hammer method, get a new plug, the reason this happens is someone probably did not put a little oil on the o ring, if you do not the o ring will seize the plug ,same thing that happens to a oil filter, always use you're finger and wipe a little oil on the oring

Harbor freight has a kit of screw drivers in a plastic case, they are in fact JIS screwdrivers, most people don't know the difference, but there is a difference, when you put a JIS screwdriver into a JIS screw instead of a phillips you will know the difference, they really grip , not like a phillips...

Ya they don't look like the one's on my 91

No need to buy different caps, just drill and tap to 1/8" NPT and go to tire palce and get adapters and screw in, i wrote a post on this a few months ago
Curt

hmm. i have floor boards for the passenger, Thought they were stock
Curt

the idea of lifting you're foot of the board and on to the heel support iam sure was going with the premise that these bikes are for highway cruising and not spending a lot of time braking, Which makes it very comfortable for cruising, but is a pain city driving, Were the mods a product of Markam, w...

should be in bar , 1 bar =14.5 psi

You will not be dissapointed with the purchase, i have a 91 which i love, also have a 2003 VTX 1300, which i had before the goldwing, My poor VTX sits in the garage, i never ride it since i got the goldwing, maybe a new owner in its future. still love the VTX but it is just not the same as a goldwin...

Well, Replaced the voltage regulator and still not producing voltage, Is there a way to check the voltage regulator and the rectifier, i did all the stator and Armature checks Etc and all checks out, only thing left is the rectifier, or i got a defective regulator, Regulator was kind of a pain in th...

with my issue checked all the antenna connections and even plugged in another cheap antenna of ebay ,but still the same thing, wonder if it is a colder solder joint or something in the radio, i have been putting of pulling the radio because it is a pain in the A

thanks for confirming Bellboy40
Appreciate it

Curt

a year ago i installed a Lactrical which ran for a few months and it died, i returned it and was sent a DB electrical, the Lactrical alternators are hard to find now for some reason, DB seems the common one now , and the price is right, i have a friend that has Compu fires but seems to replace them ...

bellboy40 , so according to the elec print, i think i have it right by putting bat voltage to both of the terminals where the plug goes, acting like a bat voltage sense, and large lug back to bat
Correct ??

Does anyone have any info on the wiring for the alternator
thanks Curt

cyclemax is a good resource for us guys holding on to history
Curt

ok here is the bearing numbers for the Oem Hitachi LR40 front NSK 60/22DU Front seal is NSK AE1133G Back is NTN 6000LU if anyone needs them before i spin it up do both wires on the plug in get battery power, according to book it says white wire gets bat voltage and black gets voltage when key is on,...

Any one know what bearings go in these alternators before i put the voltage regulator in it ???

Die grinder with a socket adapter works , they spin 20000 rpm's but i throttled the air back to get about 1500 rpm's

Could you use a drill to spin it, you may net get the full voltage out of it, But you could tell if it is working, wonder what RPM it spins at when on the bike ??

Curt

Well , scrap bin it is i guess

Does this mean it is made in China ???

Hmm very interesting
Curt

I believe mine is an original vintage 91, Is it worth $125 u.s plus $25 u.s shipping when i can buy a DB 90 amp for like $175 Canadian ????
will have to think about that
Curt
