    Starting issues...HELP!

    I'm having a weird, (to me), problem. A couple months ago I put on a brand new starter. Now it won't spin but I'm only getting 6 volts from the relay. The battery checked good and it's putting out over 12 volts to the relay, but when the relay engages, I only get 6 volts. I thought it was...

    Brake caliper rebuild time.

    The right front caliper on my 'wing started getting sticky so I bought a couple rebuild kits to redo them both. I've been looking at the kits and the new EBC pads sitting on the work bench for about 2 weeks and I finally got some time today to tackle it. :) The left one went smooth as butter...

    Water pump issues...

    Hello y'all, Just have a quick question. Will bad water pump seals cause coolant to get into my oil? I've got drips coming from the weep hole on the pump housing so I'm pretty sure the pump seals are trashed. My big concern is that my oil level seems to be rising. The oil looks like oil...

    Y'all's opinion on tires...

    I'm getting ready to put a new rear tire on my GL1100. Just thought I'd canvas for opinions on the best choices. I'm looking at several different ones. It's got a Continental on there now. The Metzeler ME 88 looks good but is kind of pricey, Bridgestone seems to have good reviews and there's...

    Unexpected light problems...

    So I haven't been able to ride for a few days, so tonight I'm getting ready for work and I finally had time to ride the 'wing to work. I was all suited up in my new cold weather suit I've been dying to test out. I had the bike warmed up and was getting ready to do my walk-around when it dawned...

    Timing Belt Question

    Ok, I changed my timing belts. I lined up the marks and they looked good before I removed the old ones. When I pulled the old belts off, the right side cam pulley (if you're on the bike) moved about a half inch. I turned it back into position and put on the new belt. Once everything was in...

    Did I do ok or get robbed?

    I found a guy with a set of carbs, airbox, k&n filter, electric fan and valve covers from an '82 GL1100 for $150. According to the PO, his dad removed the stuff to install a supercharger back in '84 so the stuff is clean and looks damn near new. I figured since my carbs have almost 73K miles...

    Rear air shocks.

    This is probably going to seem like a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. :) Can anyone tell me where the damn air inlet for the rear shocks is usually located? I haven't pulled off the saddle bags or seat yet, but I've been looking everywhere else and I can't locate it. It's a...
