Welcome to the forum. Good looking bike! I need to do the brakes on mine, but I ride it (very carefully) anyhow. Rear brakes are almost non-existent, and the front hang up a little.

First snow of the season. Just a dusting, but probably the end of riding for a while.:(

Could not let such a fantastic day go to waste. Short easygoing road trip with Bridge97, who lives about 20 miles from me. After that I gassed up and put Stabil in the tank. Today was 70s, tomorrow is forecast low 50s. I used to ride year round, then I got old. If we have some decent weather, I...

Welcome to the forum! I don't think the 1000s came with a single carb, but I could be wrong. Depending on how much it's been ridden there could just be some crap built up in the low speed circuits. Note my location. Ride sometime? I need to get at least one more ride in before winter.

It's been a month since my GW moved, so I took it out for a short run today. I only went 26 miles round trip, but at least I blew some of the cobwebs out. She started instantly, and ran really well after short warmup. Can't go so long next time, but next time will probably be the Sta-bil ride...

That may not be possible. GW fever is very difficult to cure. (;-)

I haven't had to mess with mine at all, so I don't know if this makes any sense. Are the carbs all the same? What I'm getting at is, could you swap the position of two carbs and see if the problem follows the carb? I know there are all kinds of passageways in carbs, and some of them are...

Welcome to the forum. I'm no expert, but if it's warmed enough to run well off choke, it should be off choke. The purpose of the choke is to enrich the mixture for cold starting. If you want it to run at 3500 rpm, you should use the throttle - they sell a "cruise control" that's really just a...

First I'd check the 7 volt regulator. Goldwingdocs.com has details, and I believe he sells them. I'm not sure if a shorted temp sensor wire would cause that issue or not, but that would be another place to look.

Just make sure you change the timing belts. 5 year age out on them, and they give NO WARNING before failure, which can brick the engine. Steve OBTW: welcome to the forum.

I finally got around to replacing my right mirror, due to a minor drop. She's been sitting for over a month, and fired up instantly. I had a little gas smell, then noticed a puddle on the floor. Main fuel line from the pump had a tiny split, so I replaced that too.

Did you listen until the end? Sounded like the perp and the cops are old friends.

Makin' me want my '69 Chevelle SS396 back. Nicely modded 4 bolt 396, high rise Wiand, Holley double pump 750 cfm, Carrillo rods, TRW pistons 12.5;1 compression. Hooker headers to straight 3" all the way to the rear. Stone crusher 4 speed, Hurst straight line shifter to Mickey Thompson M50 15s...

When my 750 got mad and threw me off (40 years ago!) I was wearing an open face helmet with a flat face shield. If I had not had a face shield, the front two inches of my face would have been on the roadway. I never tell anyone they have to wear good protection - it's your head. I still won't...

There's an excellent video (probably 100 or more excellent videos) at . I used it to do my belts, and the bike runs great.
