WTF No. 1 "It doesn't run right!?" 2001 Honda Goldwing 1800

Rats! I hate it when bikes don't run right. Troubleshooting can be the most important skillset a technician can have. If you can figure things out fast and accurately, you will be awesome at repairs. Especially since there are other bio-environmental factors in play to trip you up.
A huge rodent nest was inside the bikes intake.

Oh this is funny. Today I changed my filter and fund the same thing on my bike. LOL.

As a child I've had 9 pet rats. Plus I've seen the damage wild rodents can do to cars boats and rvs. so this doesn't surprise me. Bike was definitely parked a while.

Watch my video, entitled, three words, Goldwing made mouseproof.. there may be other videos using the same wording with no space between goldwing i bought mouse proof but my yellow gold wing in the video will tell you you were at the correct one. I put the screening over the intake trumpets. Mice had built a nest in my Goldwing air cleaner housing, a 2002GL 1800. I wants took the air cleaner off of a car that I had. And I found a snake skin in there along with mouse bedding

that nest isn't the worst part. all the rodent urine can play havoc with throttle blades and seize them up.

What's that strange substance above the air filter???

I thought it was rice
