    Cylinder not firing

    What ultrasonic cleaner do you have? What is the cleaning solution capacity and what solution do you use? I may be in the market if I can’t find someone that has one.

    Cylinder not firing

    Yes. I have a set of jet cleaning wires and ran them through the jets. I’ll try swapping the ignition wires on both ends and plugs between cylinders 2 & 4.

    Cylinder not firing

    I’m quite sure that this is a carb issue. I’ve tested for spark at the affected cylinder and it’s getting spark. The spark plug is always dry when I pull it. Has to be a fuel problem. Besides the slow jet which has been cleaned twice, is there anything else that would prevent that cylinder from...

    Cylinder not firing

    I have a 86 GL1200 Aspencade that was customized a cafe racer style bike. Faring, bags and trunk all removed. The bike runs but the #4 cylinder is not firing at idle. When riding at cruising speed you can tell that cylinder is still not firing but when you get on the throttle hard you can feel...

    GL1000 shifting to neutral issues

    Oops. I mistakenly titled this thread “GL1000 shifting to neutral issues” when it should have been titled “What oil do you use”. Those are always fun. 😂

    GL1000 shifting to neutral issues

    I don’t know anything about the neutral diode. Everything that I have read indicates that when the diode fails the starter won’t work. That’s not what is happening here. The engine is turning over but the plugs aren’t firing. Can you confirm that my problem is a symptom of the neutral diode failing?

    GL1000 shifting to neutral issues

    I do know that the timing belt is new. I’ll follow up on the alternator wires. Thanks for the tips.

    I think that he was trying to match the fairing when he painted. It was brown when he got it.

    GL1000 shifting to neutral issues

    I have a 1975 GL1000 that I couldn’t shift into neutral at all while the bike was running. I adjusted the clutch this week. The adjustment screw was screwed all the way in. I adjusted it out 3/4 turn after contact and adjusted the cable as needed. I can now shift into neutral but it’s very...

    Hello all, I’m new to this forum. I’ve had several Goldwings in the past but I purchased my first classic Goldwing in January. It’s a 75 GL1000. I’ve wanted one for years and finally found one that I really liked. I already had a 2018 GL1800 DCT Tour and a 2010 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic...
