When I was 16 my father had an 84 aspencade he dropped the bike and never really rode it again but I sure did I was the man back in highschool riding around on the wing but it wasn't long before I had to give the keys to my uncle who bought the bike I have never forgotten that day and just last month I was able to fix that I bought a 1800 wing and man I'm in love for sure ur video brought back some great memories thanks
Brother you really handed out some good info on these general maintenance items for this bike. I always wanted to own a '84 or '85 naked or "standard" version of this bike just never found one when I had the money to buy one. You and the boy seem to work well together.😁
I have a 1987 GL 1200 aspencade, appreciate the pointers gonna being doing all this soon. My bikee drives great currently but not sure when last owner did all this. thanks for the video love these bikes
Nice video. Happy to see your having your son learning what was taught to you by your father. That's the only way to learn is to watch and help. Great job Mathew! Keep learning. I have an 84 Interstate and I love the bike. Spoiled myself last summer and bought an 06 wing. Goldwings never die. Ride on my Goldwing brother keep sharing your knowledge.
I have the same bike. Got it from my dad and his dad bought it new. My dad and I have our victories but I will be working on the goldwing this summer. Can’t wait to ride it again! Im also in WI
Great video, thanks! I have an 87 Aspencade, live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho been riding around for years with out the metal washer between the spring and filter, didn't notice until I saw it in your video. Probably don't need it but got one anyway. Safe riding to you!
Greetings from Appleton, WI! Nice bike! I'm looking to get a Goldwing next spring (I currently have a VTX 1300). I'll be 50 next year, and my hiney is crying out for a nice, comfy Goldwing seat.
I've just bought goldwing aspencade last week for 300$ I'm in the process of removing the carburetor which is Surprisingly easy this video helps a lot for future tune ups bike sounds amazing by the way.
@@DeadMotherDucker I just got a gl1200, its my dream bike! I'm fixing up a wicked death wobble... th-cam.com/video/EqKFPfXaQeA/w-d-xo.html but then ill be right as rain! Cant wait to get on the road (and live)
Gold wings are the best, definitely better than a Harley in terms of engineering,longevity and reliability. I own an 86' interstate model. Currently waiting for parts, going to have her up and running like a new bike.
Hi enjoyed the video. I owned a 86 Aspencade with 36k. The owner had just done the timng belt(a nightmare from what Im told) I paid around 3g. Bike was very clean minor wear. It had the driver backrest and some other add ons. One dislike was the color maroon and tan. I put around 25k in 2 years. It had the"notorious handlebar shake around 60moh and would disappear around 70. I heard it was a common problen on theses models. The fork seals were good and pressurized properly. Another issue that usually occured was after long rides. Such as a 400 mike trip feom Boston to NY. It had the shaft drive that was maintained every year. What would happen after long highway straight run then when gwttin closser to home on side streets on turns I would feel a type of binding feom rear. IDK if that was a common issue and being the low mileage and previous owner maintainance I juat dealt with it and took it slow around turns. I advised the new owner of these quirks and he was none to worried. Another problem that were common problems from factory stupidity was the magnito failure. That also was a time consuming expensive repaire. There is an easy preventive fix(posted on ebay someware) that I advise you address before your outsourcing a new magnito for a faulty 4 cent wire. I still have my first new bike 1979 suzuki GS1000L chain drive. After selling goldwing I bought a truly mint 93 HD Ultra Glide Candy edition. I dropped a valve(i think) running lean(outofgas) on highway and the harleys roller rocker pins gave out and just bought a 1340 totally rebuilt. That was years ago and evertrome I think of openinf my toolbox my lower back spasms feom the thought. Anyway dig your white honda and would love to have another one day. Be sage. Peace. Andy
Nice video. I have a 87 GL1200 and I was easily able to replace the air filter without removing either the seat or the fake fuel tank. Just opened up the both FFT doors and removed (Relocated out of they way) the fuse block. Remove the wingnut holding the fuse block bracket and air filter cover then removed both. Replaced filter and reassembled.
In 1986 I had Yamaha Venture Royal an wanted a 86 Honda GW? But I waited an got GL1500, so 86 never graced my shop! But I like that bike today!:the other older GW I really liked was bike with map readout on the tank! You remember that wonder?
I suppose if you let the bike set all winter you might need to worry about Ethanol gas. But I've had my anyone gold wing for 15 years almost I use out and all I started at least ever 2 weeks in the Winter never have a problem
Thanks for the video. Have an '85 GL1200A, gunning it in 4th in passing situation it is way to easy to pass 90. From a standing start, the harley probably is better given its low end torque. Passing not so sure.
Depends on the Harley. I also have a 2014 Harley Davidson with the 103 Cubic Inch engine. I can't see me Goldwing out doing that bike from dead stop or rolling stop. That being said I love them both for each of their attributes.
I had a 1982 Honda cb900c, it out ran my coworkers 2014 103 wide glide with a stage 1 with no problem at all, his bike didn't stand a chance, the gl1200 has a little more power than the cb900c did and not to much more weight, it would take a pretty good modified Harley to out run it, low end torque though the Harley has that won, but for passing I don't think it will beat the Goldwing, maybe I am wrong
Hey great video. I noticed your lower fairing is missing ....did 85 come with out it ....my 86 has it . But the holes are getting or are warped, actually have gotten bigger then the screw .
I own an '86 1200....have found that it never Smokes when it has been on the Kickstand....if the 3/12 Quarts is used..it will Smoke on 4 Quarts....guess that is why the Dealer said to use the lesser amount?
My '85 LTD's AGM batt has lasted 5 years. It's on a tender when not in use. Lead/acid gets weak in two years and requires distilled water every few months or it will sulfate and last one year.
Damn l need a gold wing. I’m coming from sport bike and 70s enduro world but I love to travel and road trips and 8 hours on even an ‘upright comfortable’ SV leaves you sore. I am searching FB marketplace there is one in Greenbay I might have to make mine

Hopefully you’re still around looking at comments on these old videos. I have that same bike (year and color), what size jets did you go to? I am finishing up up a very extensive restoration of my bike and live in Kalifornistan where ethanol is in everything. Also, any recommendations on octane level, high or low? Thx
i have an 87 goldwing 1200 and i was wondering about some hoses. they go in between the carbs and the body. on is a bigger one that connects to the engine. and the other is a smaller hose that leads to a little black tank???
Remove the box above your gas tank ...once you remove it ...its on the left side ....if you have to add , use a long funnel ...and pour in .....make sure you use the anti freeze it requires....blue antifreeze....just ask them in the parts dept ...good luck
@@calkendrick384 i had blue . That what it had , thats what i used . Ask the dealership that what they gave me ...im sure green would work too .....100, 000 . Thats awesome....just 32,000 on mine
At beginning you mount bike on center stand easily , is that something like a hydraulic lift for bike to be place on center stand ??? I’m looking at a 84 aspencade now with carb and battery issues...
I seen on TH-cam there’s is a hydraulic center stand ( 2 legs with plates goes down to ground ) that riders would use instead of kick stands on heavy big bikes.
A friend bought my uncle’s ‘86 Aspencade. The bike overheats when going up mountains and shuts down. Happened to him on the Million dollar highway. Dangerous! He can’t figure out why. Any suggestions?
Check the fan relay switch and connections. I had to bypass mine as I could never get it to work, installed a switch that I can reach when it starts getting hot that turns on the fan manually.
agm battery in a motorcycle i had no luck with agm batteries gone back to lead acid battery the agm i kept use it for phone charger when power goes out when watching TH-cam videos and dont know why agm wont start the bike and its fully charged lead acid no worries
Achte bitte mehr auf deine Hände und pflege sie besser! Benütze täglich eine gute Handcreme! Öl und Benzin schadet den Händen und trocknet sie aus ! Wir wollen noch viele Videos von dir sehen!
not smart to have those wires running on and in the fins of rectifier, that gets hot and can melt those wires if the charging system start to fail causing the rectifier to get realy hot.
Goldwing very low work to do run 91 octane 02 victory v92 sure can tell the difference power wise with the gold wing taken the motor out rebuild it very simple it work on but everything is very close so better have a lot of patience working on these kind
They had a recall on the (charging system ) around that many miles if it hasn't been changed it may go out. Engine has to be pulled to change it Make sure the wires or not burnt coming from the charging system.
There are a few in the past. More to come too as its winter here in Wisconsin. Start here. Was a road trip on the Harley. th-cam.com/video/K04cFg9r2og/w-d-xo.html
So sorry for not stopping the not one but three different things I do to provide for my family to not respond to you. Ill be more careful to not further damage you're delicate nature...😇
hello guys are these engines horizontaly opposed or boxer engines ？. i thought that ho engines shared crank journals for opposed cylinders, so the crankshaft on a 4cyl would only have 2 conrod journals. boxers differing in the fact that each rod has its OWN journal so a 4cyl box engine would have 4 rod journals im confused as i see these mc engines reffered to as both types.please help someone smart . thankyou

Ethanol in the fuel unless you re-jet the carburetors to run it.
They had a recall on the (charging system ) around that many miles if it hasn't been changed it may go out. Engine has to be pulled to change it Make sure the wires or not burnt coming from the charging system.
