    I have my fathers ‘89 Goldwing gl1500, has 149,000 miles and runs great. Earlier this month, I picked up my ‘23 scout bobber. Both are great bikes.

    damn man I read about those worn shifting forks on the 1500 and wondered what that sounded like. Now I know.

    I put mystery oil in mine run a couple oil changes using Deisel Oil and Honda HP4 has been fine since, but then i think that sound could also be one of the cooling fans, sounds like dry metal, like a dying computer fan, which i also sprayed some lube into the electrical motors as well

    Yep. Had to watch till the end however I have heard that noise before. And it's a bad transmission. My dad had a 90se long time ago and he started experiencing that noise. Never went away. He rode that bike 3 or 4 years like that. It's a nice bike considering that problem.

    Fun project bike. There are still thousands of these oldies on the roads today. Nothing wrong with that. Typing before the video ends, it sounds like something is rubbing up front. Fender? (I will wait until the end)

    • @RickyBobber
      @RickyBobber  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      😄 I heard! The oil thing is new. Wondering if the plug got loose. Waiting to hear the update soon. Yeah, it could use a new body kit after 32 years. But like they say, if you can't fix it, duck it! For the record I offered Bolty my bike if he thought the Goldwing would make it. He's almost done! It was runnimg much better when he left then it was in this video before anything was done
