High Idle on new 2018 GoldWing

Post by 2018HighIdleWing »



I have just had it with my new GoldWing. It immediately goes to high idle at startup. Stays at 2,000 rpm for 5 minutes. Smells of burnt rubber. Something is terribly wrong. Has done it since day 1

It's under warranty, take it to the dealer.

Agreed, the amount of money paid for a new Goldwing not operating properly....that bike would be at the dealership yesterday for repairs and tell them not to call until it's working properly.
