    GL1100 - fill empty radiator from overflow tank?

    Ok. By now most of you may have gathered that I can tend to be a 'jump in with my eyes closed' kinda guy. Although I find no greater satisfaction than the feeling of taking my time and doing something right, my schedule has become so complicated that if I am to take my time, the job typically...

    Timing Belt - great price

    OldHondaJamie looked through my maintenance log and gave me some advice - timing belt may only have a couple thousand miles on it, but it's 11 years old...as cheap as hey are, and as big an effect they can have, you should probably just go ahead and replace it.

    ATF instead of Sea Foam

    In my recent thread (Oil Change...) I used Sea Foam to clean the engine before dumping the old oil, and found that a lot of you are using automatic transmition fluid as a regular additive to both fuel and oil. I'm excited to start trying this and to start a log of ratio:results for both...

    1983 GL1100i Front End Wobble

    Front end wobbles (that word seems a lot goofier in print) at low speed, particularly during a left-hand turn. After an average test ride (~20-30mins), the left front rotor was warm to the touch, the right front rotor was completely cool. I pulled both calipers and their respective pistons...

    New winger/two tour vet
