Thank you very much for this info. I had a similar problem with my SRL3 and CarPlay. Once I applied your fix, it is sounding so much better. Happy Riding!! 😎

Perhaps consult some riding experts to assist in your "scraping". IMHO you are relying solely upon lean input and not employing additional techniques. Good Rides

Any updates , how are the camshaft’s fairing ?

You really should think about your prior videos on the DCT. Think about erasing them. Those videos do not make you, or Honda look good. Imho. I have 400,000 miles on GoldWings from 1977 forward. Ive owned 4 and buying a 5th one. In all those miles and years, not one break down. They handle like a dream. All of them. Your expirence on smaller engine, motocross size frames, is not the same.

You can spray the silver parts black or a different darker color to cut down the reflections. Easy fix.

I don't wish to go keyboard warrior on you, but imho you are pushing the bike out front if your ability. Far too much speed in blind tight corners with the likely potential of tree leaves, or wet leaves on the ground. I have 400,000 miles on multi GWs and other bikes, and I'd nit do what I see you do in the first 2 minutes of your video. For months and years, you need to figure out everything that can go wrong, and drive in that knowledge envelope. Be Safe.

Don't know if RainX or similar would stop the windscreen fogging up?

Interesting to me, I didn't know looking through the windshield was a thing. I've been riding touring bikes for decades and my replacement shields are always purchased at nose level, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Thanks for the video.

Spyder is safer than two wheels but not as much fun IMHO.

I’ve bought my 18 new that same year. I learned early on that the phone goes against the pad, not in it. Mine stays cool that way.

------------------------------ waiting for Hondo .....to implement E- shift .on GW's ....imo engine too good for just bike ....can we add a liter , turbo , lightweight rear engine car , lines similarly to forever young 911 but better ....nsx is jet airplane money.....thx

How to do it for Apple CarPlay, please

Honda offers a 12V receptacle that you can install, there is a factory wire supplied under the fairing you can connect it to. You will need to drill a hole, use a step bit so you don't crack the crapy plastic.

I have been riding ADV bikes for the last 30 years and decided to go gold wing 6 speed tour and I love this thing. I'm 57 years old, But I do own a 22 KLR for riding to work. I bought the 23 Goldwing for touring and man is it great for that.

Hey there, I’m wondering after having it for a few weeks, if you still think the 14” version is big enough? How much of an improvement did you get over the stock one with a clip on deflector? Thanks for the help! Update: just got mine installed and I’m riding 80mph with my visor up and no earplugs. ‘Nuff said!

Transitioned from 2 wheels(last one a Goldwing) 6 years ago to a 2016 Spyder RT-S. It's allowed me to extend my riding time at my age(85). Coast to coast once and working on one more this year. Love the Spyder. Had a few problems over the years but all were solvable. Also more visibility for the cagers. No regrets at all. Nice to hear that she enjoys it.

The 2018+ Wings are beautiful bikes. I do not own one but do ride an 08 GL-1800 GoldWing which I love riding. I also ride a near classic Harley Electra Glide which has become part of the family over the past 22 years and I will never let go. Enjoy your new ride and keep on eye on the myriad of distracted drivers out there.

I had the DCT on an Africa Twin and came to dislike it. In normal mode it changed up to quickly but in Sport just irritatingly low gears. I would have been happy had it changed down when I wanted it to accelerate but, despite all the clever electronics, it didn’t. We parted company after a year and 2,000 miles. I missed the GSA it replaced……

Maybe someone needs to report it, i dont know were to Report it to but it needs to be done. These companys Need to take care of issue like that. If not sooner or Later people well start no buying there items. Ps. Does the company even know ?

Learn how to ride fool!

I have a 2024 Sea to Sky that I bought at the end of Feb. Not sure of rhe year of your Can Am, but I just rotate my right hand forward for a quick second to kill the cruise and then roll back on the throttle. Very easy with mine, but that would not be the same previous models. Can I ask what is mounted on the left handle bar? Ia that a drink holder and something else? I am looking for a drink holder and phone mount for my new ride. If it is those, can you provide a link for what you have? Love your qife's new ride. I bought mine for similar reasons as I just sold my 2020 Harley Road King. I have a neck disk issue and was not feeling xomfortable with the Harley's weight and handling it at slow speeds in less than idea situations. Love the new ride and have been putting in a lot more riding rime as it does not affect my neck and I ust feel like I can enjoy the ride a lot more and relax qith the Can Am. Glad she is enjoying hers!

Ya bud! Spyder is FUN!

So the website shows options from 14” to 20”. Which one did you go with?

I just got my spyder about 3 weeks ago from the same dealer. My question is where were you in that last few seconds of the video.

Thought you might be hanging on to it. Ha! If I sell the van, I am hoping to pick one up this season. Stay safe. Thanks for your honest input.

I have a 2012 Goldwing and it is my 3rd. Never have I had an issue with the turn signals not turning off, as a matter of fact, I think they turn off too soon and I have to keep flipping the switch to keep then on long enough. Be safe, have fun.

I bought a 2022 DCT Tour in Blue and loved it. But 7 months and 8000 wondeful miles later later I sold it to buy a Indian Chieftain Darkhorse. The Indian is great but I missed the goldwing so much that I've just bought a New old stock 2023 Goldwing and Pick it up at the end of the week. I must say I never once left the handbrake on but then there is a huge red light on the dashboard to remind me it's engaged so as long as you actually look at your dash before moving off its not something you have to worry about. I adjusted my parking break as it wasnt very efficient. Its easy to do and should be done from both the brake and at the cable if you want it to be right. Use cruisermans videos and you can do all your own servicing with ease.

Can you turn on your fog lights? Does not look like they are on

Time to a add more lighting both on the front and back making sure you have a modulator on some lights front and back. The fogged up windshield was a surprise though. It would be interesting to do a comparison on the the same route using your KTM bike at night. Nice video from Ontario, Canada.

Interesting video ! I just got an 08 GW and haven't rode it yet . I will be thinking about things you pointed out this spring . Thank you

Change your approach angle to the corner and learn your body towards the inside of the corner

My dog and I leave in April on a 4,000 mike trip. I’m a 72 y/o newbie.

You have to drill a hole through the front wall of the glove box to pass a USB cord and plug into a hub. Feel around and you’ll find the best location to drill.

Solution for the reflection in the windshield. Not a good one but effective! Put blue painter’s tape on all the reflective surfaces!

There is more than just the one adjustment point for the parking brake. Both should be adjusted.

You are right. Riding at night and in the rain unnecessarily adds to risk. I have precious cargo aboard: my dog in a sidecar. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her because of my carelessness. And, it is always best to release the parking brake before accelerating to cruise speeds! Lol!

I have a black ‘23 Gold WIng and both trim pieces around the instruments and buttons below the windscreen are a muted, dark gray, not silver. The part is probably silly expensive-aren’t they all-but you could order the “dark” part to replace the highly reflective trim causing the problem. On a bright sunny day I tried to capture the sun at an angle to reflect the trim into my windscreen. There is a slight reflection at just the right (wrong) angle, but nothing like you’re experiencing.

in other words.you dont know what the hell you want.you just buy bikes because you can.oh well, its your money & your channel.YOUR RULES. just sounds like a silly way of paying tons of depreciation for something you dont even want to begin with.

I feel as though the wife feels safer and at ease on a trike than on a two wheel bike and this is due to the dangers she may feel on two wheels and has not really told you because she wanted to enjoy that life style as you. Due to my limitation i also prefer a Spyder than a two wheeler and riding on any weather would be less stressful. The Spyder RT are expensive but i would buy used and upgrade it to my satisfaction.

The 6th generation wing has a slipper clutch, that's why your not able to use engine braking by down shifting quite as much

I am really surprised that a one time event taking off with the parking brake on wore it enough to become ineffective. I'm not familiar with the setup, but the contact area for the parking brake must be TINY.

I've only driven away with the parking brake on once and it wasn't far because it really put a drag on the bike... since then, it's must muscle memory now... part of my startup routine. Same bike, same color as yours. I'm with you.. not a fan of riding at night.

King of kings. A tittle that the bike earns , definitely!

Down by your left knee is where the cig lighter goes. It's all marked out on the backside of the plastic on where to drill, it's even prewired! Why they just didn't put it on the bike from the factory, I don't know.

I was thinkin the scenery looked familiar then you mentioned Romney cycles! Looking forward to owning a goldwing in the future!

All the 5 Goldwings I’ve ridden had the same cruise control cancelation the Spyder has. The only difference is I would touch the front brake lever to cancel and now I just turn it off then back on again for when I need to activate it again.

Agree about the lack of power ports - unsatisfactory. I never used the parking brake - I just parked where it wasn’t necessary. Get a REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT tag! Also, search for the mod to make the fuel door access manual, rather than that side pocket thing. And learn the convoluted procedure to open the bags and trunk without a key fob.

Sport tourer for sure. It’s not the Gold Wing of yesteryear - it is a small bike. You’re going to discover all kinds of new things about this bike in the beginning. Learn the DCT re-calibrate procedure and do it somewhat regularly. I kind of miss mine, so when you’re ready to sell it in 2 weeks let me know 😁

Your audio is only in my left ear... strange.

Thanks for the video. Should you decide to sell it in a couple of weeks (which I doubt) give me a shout. Lol Safe travels!
