Thanks for the part numbers Sreve , I called Napa today, ordered the parts, picked them up after work and I'll hopefully have everything done by the end of the weekend. I really let this leak slide for too long.

Hi All! I 've noticed lately that I've had an oil drip coming from the weep holes in my timing belt cover. It seems to get worse the warmer the bike is, I'll go for a ride and if I get out about 20 miles and stop and put the bike on the side stand, it has a pretty good drip out of the weep...

Thanks Guys, I just gotta get my feet out on those highway pegs. I didn't know running without a thermastat was even an option, I just replaced mine when I refurbed the front end, I didn't know I could leave it out altogether. Are there any down sides to running with out the thermastat?

Hello, I haven't really been riding a Goldwing with the horizontal heads for very long. Most of my riding has been done on parallel teins of some sort. So my question is this:I know it's hot out, it's summer. I feel a lot of heat coming off the valve covers when I ride. is this normal ? I'm...

Welcome to the forum Ryan, I'm in Ct as well in New Milford. I'm new here too. I'm thinking about a set of those progressive springs for the front of my gl1100 and interested in how that goes for you. I also have a set of progressives in the back.

Whoa! Thanks for the heads up Mcgovern! I think I'll be changing my oil tonight... :salute:

Ok I installed the new relay and did a quick check before I put the plugs back in, she spun like a champ. Then I started her up took about a 10 mile ride around town pulled back in my driveway shut the gas off and let her idle for about 5 minutes. Then I shut her off put in 8 oz of ATF (I've got...

I recently replace my starter and starter relay. The new starter really cranks the engine over great but then if I let the bike sit overnight and the next morning I get on and hit the start button and it just clunks but won't turn the engine over. I tapped on my starter button trying to get it...

I have not checked the timing belt, I think I recall the guy I got the bike from a couple years ago said he changed it, maybe it's a tooth or 2 off? I've never done a timing belt before I hope Roady's got some instructions on that. I used his tutoral on valve clearance and it was excellent.

No problem Dan, so glad I found your forum, if I can add to it, I'm happy to.

Now this is my bike after removing the idle jets, soaking them for about 4 hours in a gallon can of gunk carb cleaner, then running a guitar string through them. Then I put everything back together and this is the result, I did nothing else, I may try to synch them tomorrow. Thanks again Mr and...

Here's one of my idle jets out of my 1980 gl1100i

Here's my bike before the Mr. and Mrs. Beaver easyout idle jet treatment...

Hey Littlebeaver! I just want to tell you that it's after midnight here in CT and I just finished up putting my Wing back together after using the easy out idle jet method to fix my severely knocking low RPM problem. It wasn't easy getting those jets out I used a combination of number 1 and #2...

Hey Dan , I got my Stickers and patch today, they look great!
