Does anyone know where I can get a front fender emblem for my GL1100? :beg: It was just gone one day? :headscratch:

I don’t know if anybody has had this problem but My low beam stopped working. I used my ohm meter to check the headlight bulb & is has continuity on all contacts. So I check voltage & ground. Ground has 0 ohm, the high beam has 12 volts but the low beam only has from 8.7 volts to 10.9 volts. I...

I changed the oil in my 1980 GL1100 last Thursday and this little piece of nylon came out. Can anyone tell me what it might be from? I don't think it's a cable tie. Also I went on a 200 mile ride on Sunday & nothing different happen. I'm have no idea what it might be. TNX, Jim

My neutral light started coming on in 5th gear about a month ago. It works fine for neutral and doesn't come on at any other time. Just 5th gear. I have been reading here that the 82 switch is internal and 81 is it external. So is my 80 external and can I adjust it? TNX, Jim

My transmission is going and I'm not going to try and rebuild it because I don't have a garage or the tools to work on a transmission. I did resurface my block on my 80 GL1100 and pulled it out of the frame before I found out that the machine shop here in my town couldn't resurface the block...

I know it's not a big deal, but the fairing deflector on the left side of my '89 GL1500 had a broken hook and I wanted something that would hold the part in the hole. I found a small part from a florescent light (the little tab that holds the sheet metal on the box) and thought it might work...

I'm pretty sure they are not connected in any way but I wanted to ask and why post two different post. I don't think my reserve gas light works because the owners manual say the tank is a 6.3 gallon and the light should come on when I have 1 gal left. The other day I had 197 miles on a tank and...

I got a new oil filter today (Amazon.com) & I'm going to change the oil in my GL1500 on Wednesday. I was told by the forum back a few years ago when I had a GL1000 that I should only use Shell Rotella 15W-40 Engine Oil. And I also use that oil in my GL1100. But my question is why & should I use...

I pulled the side cover off my GL1500 for two reasons. One, to check the oil (going for a ride later) & two because the side cover has a crack in it. I'm not sure what they tried to repair it with but it looks like chewing gum. I peeled it up with a small screwdriver to remove it. Then...

On my recently acquired (because I can't really say new) 1989 GL1500 I feel every bump in the road. Is it the tire pressure? I think I a Dunlop E3 because I can read “Elite 3” at one place & I know yesterday I saw “ E3”. But my question is if I'm riding by myself, it says in the owners manual 36...

My engine RPM surges up and down while at idle. Engine runs rough and hesitates on takeoff. So my question is, do you thing carburettor cleaner or maybe Seafoam might help? Or is this a vacuum leak? Any idea how I can check for a vacuum leak? TNX, Jim

I can't afford pay $125 for a new one but if anyone has a used one that they would sell me cheap I would be interested. One other thing. I'm not sure if it will fit my bike because I have running boards. Product details are: GL1500 shifter pivot. This is designed to give stability to the outer...

How hard is it to get the front fender off my new GL1500? TNX, Jim

Well I did it again. I bought another GoldWing last night (& I still have the GL1100 for now). I got 1989 GL1500 but the speedometer needle fell off. Now I have everything off but I don't know if I can just push the needle back or if there is something I need to do. I'm looking at it but it...

I’m looking for the spec for the block in the center between the two cylinders on #1 & 3, not that it will make much difference from 2 & 4 or 1 & 3 but I seem to have a problem blowing the head gaskets on the right side only. Now the bike sat for 7 yrs but I have put a couple thousand miles on...

Riding down the freeway or even side streets my speedo looks like it is bouncing about 5 mph over the speed. I just bounces at what I think is the same rate no matter if I doing 30 or 80. Not that I ride 80, well maybe some times. Okay, okay, all the time. Anyone got an idea has to how to fix it...

I’m not sure if the button is dirty or if maybe there is another problem but this is a 1980 GL1100 but it only has 25k miles on it because it sat for 7 yrs. 5 yrs in a guy’s garage & 2 yrs in my driveway/carport while I was working on the 75 random things I needed to do to get it to this point...

I have to ask if this has happen to anyone. I had to replace the cam on the right side so I replaced the timing belts at the same time. Well I got it all back together & ran it for about 15 min then I remembered that I had forgot to plug in the fan so I let it cool down for an hr or so & plugged...

How would I find out the exact specs for the o-ring on my jets for 1976 GL1000 Keihin carburetors…? I have a local company here in Chico, CA called Valley Rubber and Gasket Co., Inc… I know that they make o-rings & have all sizes… So how would I know what to buy w/o taking the carbs out again…...
