For quite a while, my speedometer would occasionally admit a high-pitched whine especially when cold. After a short period the whine would go away. Now the speedometer has quit working. I have disassembled it and couldn't find any obvious problem. I used a drill to spin it and it moves the...

This GL1000 GoldWing was purchased by my father from the first owner in 1975. He gave it to me in 1996. 46,00 miles

On my last ride last fall, just half a block from the house, I heard a clunking sound and the bike stopped moving other than rolling slightly downhill. I'm ready to start working on it soon so I'm looking for suggestions. I figure it's either something with the clutch or maybe the driveshaft...

Is there an alternate method to setting the float level on the GL 1000 carbs without the float level gauge (HC 23892)? The photo in the manual is difficult for me to interpret.

I'm having trouble interpreting the wiring diagram in the 1975 GL1000 manual. When facing the switch from the operators right hand side (brake pedal side) should the green wire be on the right or left post of the switch? Or does it matter? Fan works on bench but doesn't come on on the bike. I...

I have a nice '75. The left turn signal comes on but won't blink although the right one blinks. Where should I start looking? The fan won't come on either. How would I test it?

I need to replace the tach drive gear in my 75 GL1000. I have the part but I'm unsure of what to expect when I get started. I can't find any diagrams in the manual relating to that area of the engine. I thought I'd ask before I start pulling the fuel pump etc. off. I'm hoping its a pretty...
