you just saved my butt with this video...thank you brother
Thank you very much. I like ths format
Exellent thankyou, regards steve uk 🇬🇧
Good video it may be worth mentioning on the first question a problem I had a few weeks back, very similar situation ignition and everything working but press the starter and nothing happens. Replaced the starter solenoid and starts first time.
In that case you would not see any change in the battery voltage. If you hit the starter and you get nothing, or just a click, and the battery voltage stays more or less the same, then suspect a starter relay or the starter itself. If the battery voltage dips way down, then suspect the battery.
I had that last issue on my GL1200 but came to the conclusion that the 36 year old Reg/Rec was shot
A $25 Chinese made one from Ebay fixed everything 👍
Just to say that sometimes it’s just an old worn out part that needs replacing.
Great video!
Thanks 🙏
That $25 Chinese eBay one might not fix it for too long... :) Or it might, luck of the draw, really!
The gold standard in terms of aftermarket Reg/Recs is really the Shindengen MOSFET unit.

Dude buddy bike brother bro ...got to let you know how much I appreciate you answering these questions especially the first one I've been searching for years and years maybe eons on TH-cam to find the answer to that question and you are the only one I could find.
I just want to say thanks a lot 🙂me and my bush pig Dr 650 will be failing at wheelies in no time again. Thank you very MUCHO. 🤙
Very informative. I would like you to address the LCD screen reverse system.
Well done.
Thx, really helpful!!!
I picked up a barn find GL 1100 being standing since 2011 needs a lot of tlc . No key, help me to get spark. Cleaned up heads and bores got engine to turn over but need to hot wire to get spark. Thanks from Richie.
Hello, Thank you for your videos, they are very informative. I myself have the problem you talk about in your video, the one where when you put the ignition key, everything lights up and when you push the start button, everything goes out and the starter does not turn. A "tick" is heard in the relay box. at least, a relay engages.
I recharged my battery with my stabilized power supply, under 14v, it first pumped 2.8A, then 0.5A after about 7 to 8 hours. there, it gives 12.7Volt. The starter relays A and B do not work at all, I disassembled and tested my relay B (solenoid) it works well with my lab power supply, but I don't know if it is still good for a strong current . My relay A (to the left of the battery) does not receive current and does not activate when I push start!
I checked all the relays, they all trigger, but I don't know if the internal contacts are still good.
The start button is good, then we hear a relay.
Tomorrow I will shunt the solenoid to see if the starter spins.
For everything to go out like that, it's necessarily an opening of the general power supply circuit, isn't it? Especially since the battery voltage does not move, if it had a short circuit, it should drop..
If you have any advice, what I should look at where on the bike, I would love to hear your opinion. :-)
Super Infos! I have an issue on my 1986 gold wing 1200. My speed is stuck at 0 all the time. Everything else is ok. Thanks!
Dig the way you're going about this!
But now a question. I have an 83 gl1100i and it's been pretty much finished being restored by me. I'm having issue with it getting poor fuel economy. I'm getting just under 25 mpg. The carbs have been rebuilt and can't seem to put my finger on it.
Thanks for the video. Do you have a video that shows how to actually do this?
You are genius
Great content, I currently have a 1996 GL1500 that was passed down to me from my grandfather. It has 177,xxx miles and runs great but I have a issue with the cruise. He checked all the switches on it and everything was working fine, I changed the cruise control valve and all the hoses due to it being plastic and rubber age was showing but the cruise is still not setting at speed. I've read over all the goldwing docs and cant seem to figure it out. Could you shed some advise for myself and others. Thank you for the content.
The cruise control system is quite complex - in the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual, the diagnostic tree for diagnosing cruise control problems is 12 pages long. I'd suggest posting on the GoldwingDocs forum and we can help you out - it's beyond the scope of a TH-cam comment!
I put the battery in backwards on my 2009 Honda goldwkng and now it's completely dead. What should I do?
I had a similar event that turned out to be a bad cell in the battery. Didn't notice that my tender was telling me this.
Even if only one cell is sulfated - the 6 cells are in series, so if one is sulfated and choking off the amount of current it can supply, it means it chokes that current for the entire battery.
@@GoldwingDocs Interstate battery was only nine months old. Now I use their float charger so this one will be cared for better.
Maybe in an upcoming q+a: what is going wrong when a gl1100 gearbox sound like a tractor gearbox and sometimes misses a gear when accelarating?? 🤢
Late in coming to your channel, My mistake I'm finding!
I just bought an 06 GL1800 and for my long distance riding I am in need of more power points. Can I put a fuse block off of the Accessory connection from the fuse panel or should I wire directly to two of the "free" fuse locations? Those "free" fuse locations have constant power where I would prefer they only come on with the ignition.
How would I wire to the fuse block and only have them come on with the bike running?
Thank You
You all are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
I would definitely use an Electrical Connection Power Plate. You can see our review here: goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10890
They now have a newer, universal one that fits any bike. Make sure you replace the cheap relay that comes with it with a quality one, I had problems with that (relay heats up, restricts voltage).
Can you make the relay wiring diagram available to us on the gold wing docs site? Please?
Sure thing, here it is: goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=65654
Can you post the wiring diagram for the relay that you used in this video?

My Goldwing will not start it's not the relays is not the fuses the side stand is up and I still can't get the bike start it's not the battery either I have no clue what's going on and why won't it start I got lights but it will not turn over
Definitely post on the GoldwingDocs forum. We'll get you running again! goldwingdcos.com
i have a 93 1500 the green nertural light comes and goes when it is on it starts good
2007 GL1800HPN - Bike died on a ride. Smelled something burning, volt meter showed between 13-14. Stopped, at idle showed 9 and engine had a grinding sound. Charged battery on a trickle charger once towed home. On a full charge, the engine only turned over a couple of times very slowly before clicking. Replaced battery. Same issue. Alternator is less than a year old. Any thoughts?
Chucksterwv. Do u have any experience with torqloopz cat delete? I have 2013 f6b.
Shouldn’t the charging relay be a normally open relay not a normally closed relay as you mentioned in the illustration?
I have a 1991 GL1500 SE. When I turn on the cruise control the light goes on saying "Cruise on", but when I hit the "Set" button, nothing happens.
Any suggestions on what to check to get the cruise to work?
Thanks
The troubleshooting diagnostic tree for diagnosing cruise control problems like this takes up almost 20 pages in the service manual - a bit too much to try to cover in a TH-cam comment. I'd highly suggest checking out the GoldwingDocs forum, as this problem is covered often. goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
New battery on 2010 GL 1800. When I press the starter button. Nothing happens, no clicking. No Starter drag nothing.
Not getting power through the solenoid to the starter. What do I need to do.
I have a 1998 Es 1500.
I am having a problem with the left fog light keeps burning out. I am also having a problem with the cruse control working. Can they be related?
Not likely. I'd suggest you post your question in the 1500 forum on GoldwingDocs: goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
Hello there I have a 1998 gold for some reason all the lights work in the back but nothing work in the front the front lights don't work the light to turn Sooners don't work the radio don't work the dashboard don't work nothing worked in the back but everything working all right the back stickers work the back lights work to turn fingers in the back work problem solution

I have a Goldwing F6B Deluxe that are well known when you are gliding to a stop and not using your brakes yet the front forks, and handlebars start shaking. Other than buying an aftermarket clamp for the forks what can I do to stop this?
This is deceleration speed wobble, and it happens to many Wings when decelerating through about 35 mph. It happens more if you do not have a solid grip on the handlebars. Fork brace can definitely help, so can retorquing the steering head bearings properly. It also happens with newer front tires more often than worn.
@@GoldwingDocs I purposely let go of the handle bars to see how much it shakes because I was aware of this with Gold Wings. I don't know how to torque the steering head bearings, can you show me?
Hello I have a 1988 gl1500 when the bike is cold the bike starts good and rides good but if I turn off the bike for about 20 mins the bike doesn't start just you can hear the starter working but the bike no starts
A lot of the time with a GL1500 this indicates a weak battery.
I have a problem with my turn signal. My turn signals on my mirrors don't have bulbs they are integrated circuit. My problem is that my turn signal does not flash. What could be the problem?

Can any body recommend a good multi year rated gel cell battery for a GL-1500

How do you operate your CB on a 1500
It's hooked up into the headset in your helmet. You tune the CB, when it receives, it stops playing the radio so you can hear the CB. There is a transmit button on the left handgrip that lets you talk back.
