I knew this worked on cars, but seeing that the GL has 2 solenoids, reverse and many "old" circuits, I wouldn't have even tried it for fear of making everything worse. In fact, I bought a spare solenoid to take with me in case something like that happened. Anyway, now I know it can be done. A big greeting from Argentina.
Clifford! You saved us a huge hassle.
Wife and I were stranded in a café parking lot 70 miles from home when our '98 Wing would not start. It had been running well but when I reversed out of our parking spot the bike would not go into neutral, at least I could not get the green neutral light to come on. While we were sitting in a nearby park under a shade tree I decided to check youtube while we waited for the AAA tow truck to arrive. I watched your video and tried the technique you showed here and it worked perfectly!!
Needless to say we cancelled the tow and made it home with no further problems. Incidentally the problem has "fixed it's self" though I am wary of a recurrence.
Thank you
Glad i was able to help.
@@CliffordRice I will be trying this now, I was backing my gl1500 and it quit on me and wouldn't crank, I was getting ready to remove the starter but I will try this first as my neutral light isn't lighting up
Great videos, AND EVERYTHING!
I wish I had watched this , since I was stranded 125 miles from home . I didn't follow procedure using reverse and blew the 5 amp fuse for the reverse and start circuit . luckily the tow truck driver used to own a Holding and said it would start if we pushed it , which it did . It would have meant a motel and waiting until Monday for dealership to open . when your not in the convenience of your garage , along the road , things just don't click in your mind . These little tips can make a big difference . Thanks for these videos .
I just bought a 1986 GL1200 that wouldn’t start, this video led me to the fix! Thanks so much!
I found this video both educational as well as entertaining, "and everything!"
This may come in handy!
I’m buying a 1996 SE tomorrow, thanks for all your advice.
Awesome!! I'll definitely remember that for my GL1500.👍🏻👍🏻👌
enjoy your videos. I watch everyone you put out. Thank you for taking time to educate some of us new riders.
Stewart Guthrie , your welcome.
i'll second that, Stewart. thank you indeed, Clifford - very helpful for sure, sir ;-))
could you do a video on fuel pump replacement, I have a 1988 Goldwing. You have been a great teacher so far, keep them coming brother!
Thanks Cliff needed to know wish solenoid was the start.
yet another great video from Clifford. thanks Clifford
Good video dont that many times on cars and tractors and other motorcycles now I know where the starter Solenoid is
thank you, I modified my bike so this cannot be done now. very greatful
Thanks. I've done that over fifty years ago on cars. But, I didn't know it was right there on my 1500.
Thank you so much I’ve had two gold wings with a green light comes on and they won’t start I was parked on a hill this will help thank you

Have a 88 1500 that won't start from de seleniod!! Start button just click 😢 any ideas??
It's Such a pain in the ass working in tight places, with big meat hooks, for hands....LOL, Love your videos, Keep Up The Informative Video's, Appreciate All Your Efforts !!!!
...like having a GoldWing tutor...
THANKS!
Thanks for the video, will I be able to Jumpstart with jumper cables as well.
And EVERYTHING !
You should sell shirts, and stickers that say "And Everything"
So what would he wrong if this was needed? Bad switch? Bad solenoid? Mine won't turn over or anything but battery is good. thank you
People say there’s a second solenoid where is it located?
Oh wow great information sir
What happens if I jump it like that and still nothing
Thank you Mr. Rice. I look forward to buying my own GoldWing this winter and not sure whether it will be one like yours, a 1500 or a newer 1800, depending on what type of deal I can find for a decent used one. Thanks again from your newest subscriber and keep the videos coming! Congratulations on your new phone too!
RubenAlonzo , thank you.
Excellent tip but mention to put it in neutral first! Be a shame to have it start while in gear.
thanks for sharing some awesome videos !!
So if the 30 amp fuse is fried will it still start. May have to put my melted one back in to see.
Thanks it was helpful.
So what part do I need to fix that problem? The solenoid?
How to connect a manual fan switch 1991 goldwing 1500
I'm that new-bee... I jump started my 1500 with my car and forget to shut the car off first. Now it doesn't try to start. Please help.
I tried that still nothing . It clicks usually that's it
Great video
Hi I have a 94 aspencade. It's not wanting to start. Cranks over fine but won't start. By chance I dumped a small amount of fuel into the carbs and it fired right up and ran all last season. Well here I am again same problem. Any ideas is there a primer on this bike
i think carburetors need to cleaned and check. Possible a bad slide. I'll have to look into it more later.
Where is the two ignition wire connector plugs located?
First, all your videos have helped me. I created a folder just for these how to's. I need some help. I am having an issue with my ignition cover, having it align with my radio housing. For some odd reason, it does not want to stay flat and align.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Once again Kudos to all the videos. I enjoy watching them.
Watch this, i took the radio compartment off and reinstall it. If your still having trouble let me know. Remember there are 2 clips where the gas cap is. They need to be open or they won't sit down right.

Thanks Clifford, I will make sure the wires are re-routed and in the groove.Thanks
Great and simple video Cliff. I have a 96 GW SE with issues. The starter button seems to have a sweet spot where it works. The solenoid actually does a double click. Not sure if its the button or solenoid causing the issue. How about a solenoid replacement vid? Keep up the great work.
spray some WD-40 in the starter button (make sure key is off) and then work the button back and forth. They start acting up a lot when there left in the weather for awhile. I've seen that tick fix many issue. As the for solenoid that double click sounds like it might be going out. You can pick one up on eBay pretty reasonable price (compare to going to Honda). Now its easy to change, just pull the battery and swap the wires the on the solenoid. Eventually I make a video on how to change that.
Thank you Cliff. I'll give the WD40 a try and order the solenoid. This should be easy compared to changing out my alternator. Ride Safe!
Hello
My name is Udi
First of all I would like to thank you.
I like your channel.
I have vibrations in the wheel from the front wheel while driving.
What should I check on this?
Thanks in advance .
Udi Sharabi check your tire first, check the air pressure and check to see if you threw a weight. if that's all good check your fork seals and neck bearings. Let me know how it turns out.
i will thank you very mach/
i It is possible to adjust the shock absorbers to the front
I think it's too soft.
Udi Sharabi yes it's a 1500 right? it take about 6 psi. The air connection is on top near the handlebars. They will look like what you air your tires up with.
ok. thank you
I have a 1989 gl1500 aspencade ,Where can you find a rear brake caliper ?
Honda shops say there not available
I need one bad
Thanks for any help
Ebay or parts bike. Honda should of had it thought.
@@CliffordRice thank for the tip
Enjoy your vids. I have 2 questions for you. 1. what brand of backrest do you have and 2. I noticed for the first time since I had my 96 GL1500 for 1 year, One day when I turned the handle bar slightly, the horn started blaring like an alarm at steady intervals. I don't remember if the key was in the ignition but it definitely was not on. When I did turn it on and started the bike the horn stopped after about 5 seconds. I was not aware the bike had an alarm on it, but the horn was a slightly different sound than just pushing the horn button. Are you aware of any stock alarm? your thoughts?? Keep up the good work
Grt bike just bought an 95 in the teal also. Get next month so I’ll be watching all your vids now so come riding season I’ll be better schooled !(and everything ha)
I need a video on how to get to the starter and get it out. 95 1500.
I just found your channel if you can show us how to replace the windscreen I'm 6'3 and my head is right over the top and it's not very effective I was wanting to get a new one what do you suggest
check this video out, i remove the windscreen to get to the dash, th-cam.com/video/y_JVvEEUfwA/w-d-xo.html
I know there is a place that online that sells brand new windscreens. The name of it escapes me right now.
Clifford Rice thanks!
AND EVERYTHING!!! LOL
was trying to start my 1500 after winter, so was turning it over longer than usual. It stopped turning over, but the solenoid still clicks with the start button......thinking i fried the solenoid. Turns over fine with the screw driver trick ( first thing i tried ) Is there a sepp starter fuse? And if its blown, would the solenoid still clic? Grasping at straws here....pretty sure only money will fix it...lol
Check the relay fuse first, otherwise it sounds like a you a new relay. You can find them on Ebay new pretty reasonable priced.
@@CliffordRice the fuse located ON the solenoid under the plug?.....its good. With that fuse out i have no power to dash or starter switch
@@CliffordRice I tried cursing at it.......didnt work either
@@CliffordRice on a side note.....bike parts place near me called back.....the solenoid i see every where on the net for between $6.50 and $15.00 can only be purchased from honda, and they want $80.00.......lmfao. Pays to know how to shop around !!!
Yeah it wont do anything without that fuse. If the fuse is good, most likely the solenoid is bad. You can tap on on it and see if it turns over. Also check your battery.
HEY CLIFF I ALSO OWN A 92 GL1500. IT IS TIME FOR ME TO DO A COOLANT CHANGE. SO CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO CHANGE THE COOLANT. THANKS.
I intend to do a video on that when the time comes to change it on my bike, sadly its a little far off right now. I will tell you there a drain plug underneath the bike, where you can drain the coolant. Just don't get it confuse with the oil drain plug. If you need any more help just let me know.
yeah such a pain, front cowl needs to come off though
Hi Clifford, I just replaced my right head on our 99SE, but now I have a ticking noise up to about 2K rpm, I checked all of the rockers and valves both with cover on and off and they sound normal, I do notice when I pull the #3 plug the noise goes away, might I have an exhaust leak on cylinder 3? I did install new crush washers in manifold...Thank you..BTW Great videos!
+SIDECAR RICH sounds like the the valves & rocker arm have to much clearance between them. Check the gap with feeler gauge. I don't remember the clearance gap of top of my head. I'll look into it more, later when I get home.
I did check them, and they are tight, I was going to put some smoke under the head tomorrow to see if it is a leak, and I will dbl check the clearance, we did lapping on 3 valves but very very little..And why would it stop when I pull #3 plug? Thanks for the help, I'm ready to shoot the ol'girl...lol
I could shoot a video tomorrow maybe that would help you
and everything
Yesterday I went out to start up my GL1500 for a mid-winter warm-up. When I pressed the starter button there was a flash of light from that area of the battery box and the bike no longer shows any sign of life (warning lights) when I turn the key. I gather there is a relay that activates that solenoid.
Hello: I certainly appreciate your videos and everything, it has been very informative. However, my 1988 Goldwing GL1500 cranks over, sounds like it wants to start but doesn't. The battery has been charged, check it and all checked out with that; checked the fuel, yes has a full tank; all of the electronics works well on the dash; and have checked the fluids on the bike. I think it's something with the fuel, I can hear the primer, but I am not sure if it's primer or not. Could you bounce some potential ideas where I could look at? Thank you, you're the best!
Joseph Mosley will it start with starting fluid? I had something similar happen to my bike my Ignition control modular went out. That is located near the front of the gas tank on the right side it's a big black box.
Clifford Rice: starting fluid, but the starter button works, its cranks over but not start. I will look at the starting fluid. I will check that out tomorrow and get back with you. What again am I looking for? Low fluids-yes?
Joseph Mosley, first I would do a normal check, fuel, spark. I suspect your Ignition control modular (the computer) has gone bad. Sadly there is no way to test it (that I know of) other than buying another used one on eBay and swapping it.
Okay: I am pretty sure it's not a electrical issue. I spent a few hours taking the bike apart to test the wirings...sure enough (just to see) the bike crank and attempted to turn over with starter fluid sprayed into the air filter, throttle all the way out, it worked for a few seconds and then she quit. So which leads me to think it's a fuel system related deal, it's obviously getting enough spark to crank and attempt to run but not getting enough fuel for some reason...I want to say it's the fuel pump (don't want to go that route before testing everything), but I am guessing it might be a clogged line, or the petcock isn't working properly. What are you thinking? I would have to test the pump to see if it is priming and working properly, I might get away with replacing some component parts I found online to see if it satisfies the issue. Again, I will await to hear back from you. I don't go back over there until tomorrow.
Joseph Mosley, Yes in the vacuum petcock is not working it will not run. You can test the fuel pump by taking the hose off and turn the key on and see if fuel come out.
Will it work if the battery isn’t charged?
If your battery dead, it won't work.
Clifford Rice I figured that out, Thanks!!
that is scary if it can get started this easily it can be stolen too!?
Sherif Ibrahim, no you have to have the key in the on position, for it work. you can still turn it over with the key off, but it won't start.
thx for the reply and again thanks for the videos really helpful as iam looking into a 1500 myself ..
Show the videos often.
I’m selling mines !
meant Goldwing . Darn spell check thinks it knows more than we do .
YOu do stuff for 1800s?
Not really, I've only worked on a few of them and they are pretty complex.
And everything
