2018 Goldwing handlebar shake

- I've seen a some chatter on Goldwing forums about handlebar wobble or shake. This only happens to me at about 45mph when I take my hands off of the handlebars. It's worse going down hill than it is on flat or up hill. I hope all that is needed is tightening the steering bearings. I'll find out in a few days when I take the bike in for service.
“Wavy” I’m having the same problem
No 1 problem with all the 1800 goldwing mine 2016, had 2008 ,and 2001
Well that sucks. If you bought it with those tires I would hope that they replace them with at least a discount
So what happened when you brought it in?
They said there was nothing to worry about. I'm pretty sure the guys on here saying its the tire are right. So, we'll see in 4k miles or so when I change the tire.
@@motorcyclemikeal3376 did the new tires help just got my first bike yesterday “03 Honda sabre1100” and it’s doing the exact same thing.
I just bought a 2018 model in Canada. Honda is supposed to cover my bike under warranty.
We'll just see what happens!
I have experienced the same thing and the bike is getting serviced as I text. Anyone else with this issue and what was done to correct it?
May I ask was it the wheel bearings??
I own a 2018 Goldwing Tour with 22k miles on it. I invested in The Centramatic Wheel Balancers (see Link) when I noticed the same shake on my bike. I think it was right before my 4k check up. It has helped a lot (not totally gone) but waaaay better.cyclemax.com/inc/sdetail/gl1800_centramatic_wheel_balancer/76/59906
This is normal happens to just about every motorcycle. Your front tire is likely worn. Different brands of tires do it more or less. It’s caused by the harmonic frequency of the materials and rolling masses. Nothing to worry about or fix.
Mine did it off the showroom floor.
from front tire It’s happen
Just subscribed. I hope you can get the issue resolved. I ride a 2008 GW.
Thanks for subscribing!
I am having the same problem - were you able to find a fix/solution to this?
needs a steering damper
@@MrMitokiller Steering dampers are bandaid solutions. They are a treatment of a symptom rather than a cause.
I have the same problem, can you tell me what is the solution?
I eventually sold the bike.
@@motorcyclemikeal3376 so the issue could not be resolved and you sold the bike or you know what the issue and just didn’t fix? I have same issue just not has bad in my 2022.
I only ask because your video is basically the best / only one truly showing my issue.
I’ve noticed no recent uploads. Hope ur still around.
@@michaelclark8253 I had the same problem and I just fixed it by changing the front tire
I have the same issue. my crown nut also came loose, and had to be replaced
Did you end up finding the solution?
I don’t have that bike anymore. If I recall correctly, the issue was resolved with new tires.
Did you solve the gold wing slapper phenomenon?
I want to solve the slapper phenomenon in 2015 when the gold wing was 45 miles away.
Please reply.
Not really. I just ignored it.
@@motorcyclemikeal3376 Tire balance.
Steering bearing adjustment
It's less effective.
Looking at another TH-camr's post,
It is said that the slapper phenomenon disappeared after the Centramatic installation.
Whether this is the last way or not...
I have a slapper phenomenon at a speed of 60-70 km.
I don’t have that issue or never had it on my bike with 14k on it. I would just replace the tires all together. My bike came with Dunlop’s that sucked. They lasted 9.5k. The Bridgestones are so much better. I bet that wobble affects your gas mileage.
I'm going to try Bridgestones for my next set.
Well I know tires are costly. I paid $455 including installation for mine at an independent shop. Ride safe.
@@stevesalins7561 by the way, if I keep it out of sports mode, I'm getting about 46 mpg.
Please a video of what u find out. This isn’t good.
I’m chalking it up to a bad front tire and the affect of engine braking.
MotorcycleMikeal I was gonna ask u if u thought the tire could be bad. Hopefully thats what it is!
I believe you would be right. Sounds like the same issue that the prior GL1800's had with their steering bearings. Even though this front end is different, I have heard of at least one 2018+ Goldwing that had the steering bearings loosen up with very low mileage. Unless you have a really great dealer, I would not be surprised that they tell you it is a maintenance item and you will have to pay to have it adjusted, and on this bike, unless they know of the shortcut to move the ignition switch panel out of the way, a lot of plastic has to come off.
Yeah, that's the only thing I don't like about the Goldwing... So much plastic to remove to get inside.
