Whoa, wish I would have caught this after doing the belts on the GL1200 last year. Never too late though. Thanks much, those Gates part numbers are pure gold.
On an old tensioner pulley that had dried out I managed to press the pulley apart then tease the grease seal out with a knife and re pack the bearing and put the seal back in press it back together and it did another 40k mile's before I sold it and was still OK! it was on a Peugeot 306 TD
Very good and informative vid . But you made a statement in the beginning about having to remove the engine to remove the carbs . yes the carbs can be removed without removing the engine ....
Totally agree I've had a 83 interstate and had them off couple of times tuning them not hard to get back to normal ....bought another 83 guy said the carbs have been done but...im gonna take them off to double check ....can do them with my eyes close now
What a lovely classic Honda 😊 I remember them back in the 70s I couldn’t afford one but had a CB750 👍🏻 So glad you’ve taken the time to keep it running Cheers Stevie 🇬🇧
Two questions I have are - I would have liked to have seen more detail about fitting the new pulley and bracket against that casting "protrusion". Did you file the welding/bolt down a bit more to make the bracket fit flat or did you grind down the casting protrusion? And, if you wanted to tighten up the belt on the right side, do you do that by adjusting the timing belt tensioner pulley bracket? Oh, where did you get the idea and part number for using a car tensioner pulley as a replacement?
Maybe you can help had a open short on a 1990 SAAB 9000 CD 2.0t Fixed the harness and replaced Ecu but car wouldn't start. HERE WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. The car will start with starting fluid the the main fuel relay and fuse are working but the fuse under the glove compartment has no voltage to it. Using a Power probe to supply the fuel pump the pump will run but car wont start unless I use starting fluid and I can smell a little Gas but without starting fluid not even a hint of a fire and no start. One other thing no tachometer movement. This started with a Auto Zone Relay that was bad and shorted out and melted my harness.
Happy new year brother. I used to ride motorcycles in below zed in MN. I did service work at Gates rubber. I got in the skunk works for the Hd belt drive. Plus the batteries before they got. Bought. Name that company They called me mystic.
7.4.21. I read somewhere one time that Harley Davidson contracted Gates Rubber company to install a belt drive for their primary drive on the Sturgis model, back in 1980, and Harley was floored when they got the bike back with not only the primary but the final drive belt driven! Can you confirm this?
Where is the best place I can find all new rubber seals and belts for a 1986 Honda gold wing Interstate?? I am buying one tomorrow with a clean Arizona title. The guy fired it up, it has a misfire on one of the cylinders. And a slight backfire. I am thinking it sounds like a carb issue. It has 28,047 original miles on it. I want to bring her back to her full potential.
Love ur drain pans. I keep black green bigs. I got blue red all colors. That tiny dog dish is cool. Put a magnet 🧲 in it. Know one who twisted a wrench? I do
Adjust the valves and synchronize the carbs and it will stop that rattle, also make sure to use silicate free coolant or it will eat the water pump seal.
Com star wheels were bad news one bump ya done. I stomped one straight got my buddy home. Frig he was messed. That leg was so crushed. His back burnt on pipes asphalt and dumping in into the ditch. I clean him up and got his boot off. Damn he yelled. It made his Doberman wince.
Great vid! So In October I got my hands on the same bike only mine is a 77 and I got it for free! Lol but the problem is it was sitting for 18 years!! Lol the guy just wanted it out of his garage so I took it lol she’s in rough shape for but with only a little over 6 thousand miles on her 👍🏻 but my question is is it worth putting money into it to get it running??? I’m not a mechanic so I’d have to find someone to get her going.... PS your bike sounds awesome! ✌🏻🇨🇦 PPS very informative! Can you answer plz
You can save money on those timing belts by ordering them from Napa but order one for the same year Honda Civic there about 8 bucks compared to Honda's $70
You end with "Keep it out of the cabbage". Do a search on Rochester NY 490 Cabbage on TH-cam. Semi went over in middle of city closed both lanes I-490 with spilled cabbage! Happened 3 yrs ago.
Anyone else lose concentration for a few seconds when after putting his arm under that bike lift he then withdrew it before informing us to put the safety bar on? I just visualised what would happen if it had collapsed a split second before he realised. ARRRGGGGHHHH! 6:13

Wow that thing fires off quick, what a sweet ride
I had gl 1000 had to clean the carburetors. And did have to pull the motor out at all. Nice old vintage bike thro!

Yes your right I've had mine off alot over the years
Aye,had my 78 GL1000 for 15 years,carbs removed every couple of years without removing the engine.

Kid'o you got high marks from me is top notch bought a 79' and need what you did really like your oil filter conversation
Motor out to service the carbs. I don't think so
Hey Amesie! Good to see you back :)
Great tips. The best gl1000 video out there.

Great video Amesie. Good to see you back at it
Great stuff bin missing ya spanering well executed luv the sounds encore
My dad gave me his ‘78 GL1000 in ‘90, but ended up selling it to put a newly acquired ‘86 Chevy Celebrity wagon on the road. One of life’s regrets.
I know this is strange but your voice is very soothing , I go to sleep listening 🤣

Been nice if you would show your belt tensioner tightening method
gre
Great info on the tension pulleys. Thanks so much!

Damm cool like your oil filter you have its ah conversion , see things you make me want to do on my bike a 79 and the bars
Love ur drain pans. I keep black green bigs. I got blue red all colors. That tiny dog dish is cool. Put a magnet 🧲 in it. Know one who twisted a wrench? I do
I think the first thing every early Wing owner buys is that sight glass. My current 76 came with one in the tool tray. 👍🏻 on the Venture Bros!
well this is going to save me a lot of time and frustration on the 1100 im getting ready to start the rebuild of.
A very, very good clip! Please, can you tell me, where I can get the modified pullies? I live in Germany. All my best wishes Jürgen
Adjust the valves and synchronize the carbs and it will stop that rattle, also make sure to use silicate free coolant or it will eat the water pump seal.
my 82 Goldwing started making a chatter type sound, I bend thinking it was my drive chain, maybe this is the fix for me. I will check it out for sure.
wow where have u been?? have not seen when u stopped shooting yes i remember when u brought this bike good video Ron
Com star wheels were bad news one bump ya done. I stomped one straight got my buddy home. Frig he was messed. That leg was so crushed. His back burnt on pipes asphalt and dumping in into the ditch. I clean him up and got his boot off. Damn he yelled. It made his Doberman wince.
Really enjoyed this format of video.
Happy New Year!
What are the parts numbers again?
What is a good quality low cost OBD2 scanner for a 1996 SAAB AERO. Most won't read a 1996.
You’re wrong, you absolutely can remove the carbs with the engine in the bike. It’s actually a very easy job
shame the video is chopped, a lot of good info missing for limited wrenchers & newbies.
Great vid! So In October I got my hands on the same bike only mine is a 77 and I got it for free! Lol but the problem is it was sitting for 18 years!!

My '65 Coronet developed a squeak. It was a mouse nest under the back seat.... true story.
Love the bike videos
You can save money on those timing belts by ordering them from Napa but order one for the same year Honda Civic there about 8 bucks compared to Honda's $70
Lol I'll watch whole video next time. 😎
Rock Auto is better, that same purchase of 2 pulleys and 2 belts would have been about $60, not $80.
Excellent fix and tips! Thanks
Excellent video.....what would be your estimate of shop time to do this replacement? TY for your reply.
Probably about 4 hours with having to make the pulleys.
@@AmesiesCorner TY for your reply.....I'm doing the same to my 75 GL1000 in the very near future.
You are missing the heat sheilds behind the tensioners.
I like your gold wing. Haven’t heard from you in awhile.
Awesome video thank you. Doing this to mine ASAP
You end with "Keep it out of the cabbage". Do a search on Rochester NY 490 Cabbage on TH-cam.

PLEASE hold the camera still.
How did they hold up?
Just fine.. No issues at all.
what year goldwing? i have an 81 are they all the same? great video btw
Amesie Buddy!!! Hope all is well with you my friend.
Still could here that chain slap at higher rpm. That would drive me nutzzzz!
You should go see the buried sonet!!!
Thx
Where is you patient lady? Patience is a virtue. I’m not being mean trolls. When a man loves a woman nothing else matters.
Thx!!! :D
Anyone else lose concentration for a few seconds when after putting his arm under that bike lift he then withdrew it before informing us to put the safety bar on? I just visualised what would happen if it had collapsed a split second before he realised. ARRRGGGGHHHH! 6:13
If that gave the bike 40 years of service with the original tensioner pulleys then a new set would give you another 40 years.....that's a long time.
yes, but new oem is no longer available.
jump to 14:30 save your time
Woooww... I can't believe that bent pulley didn't throw the timing belt and ruin the engine. What idiot did that??????..
Hi Amesie :) How is life for you :) ... Good to hear from you :) ... I started also yutubu channel and it will be about my motorcycles :)
?
talk talk talk talk, fast forward the work, talk talk talk aaaand we are done.
Thanks for watching!
