Just bout a 14 yr old (2009) SW with 809 miles on it !!! Going to service everything and switch all lights to LED before we ride it. Thank you for your videos.
Important tip. Inside the trunk’s rear right side (mine is a 2003) there’s an access door / panel that you remove / pop out to access the underside of the panel to gently push to help undo rear rubber seal. ALSO, come to find out the K & N (anywhere between $45 - 65) filter does not fit properly since it’s missing the upper center screw post / housing!!! Ugh! HifloFiltro has it but NOT K & N. I returned the K&N and just bought the OEM filter at Walmart (google / Walmart / OEM Air Filter Fit For Honda FJS400 FJS600 Silverwing) for $17.99 with free shipping using PayPal. Just a heads up guys and gals. Cheers!
Love the videos please keep making silverwing maintenance videos as it is very hard to find them and I’m so glad someone’s still posting videos about this beauty of a bike love mine
Thanks, youre right about that. There aren't too many S'Wing maintenace videos here on YT. I've seen a few in Italian but I don't understand the language. I'm glad I could help. What year is Silverwing and what part of the world are you from?
Can you make or have you already made a video on how to replace the seat gas strut? That is the piston rod that holds the seat up. Thank you for a very useful video.
Great video! Haven't bought one yet, hopefully soon, looks like it's easier than my GL1800, but still quite a bit of disassembly for an air filter. Are there any other maintenance items that could be taken care of while it's at this stage of disassembly? Anyway, Thanks!
🤔A good visual 👀 look over everything visible would be recommended. Rodents love crawling up in the areas and making 😴 comfy on your bike. Apart from that I'm not aware of. Thanks brother🙏👍
Wow! I thought getting to my Piaggio's air filter took a lot of effort. This one is even more so. But looking forward to taking wing next season on my new to me SW.
It’s not as bad as it appears onscreen. No need to remove the grab bar. See comment above with the tip. So much easier to pop off the panel with braking clips and such.
This isn't so bad. My 2002 bmw k1200lt required both side fairing removal and upper Tupperware. Then a huge brace and next THE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REMOVED. Famn Germans. Couldn't sell that bike fast enough.
I love the bike absolutely do have one and then I sold it and I regretted it and I have a bad the same thing same here same colour mine is blue like yours
Paul Maudsley thanks for letting me know that my video actually helped someone out 👍. I don't have a video on "how to remove the front fairing". That might be something I should consider making. It's something I'll have to seriously consider as I've finally got my scoot quiet, you know they're notorious for squeaks and rattles, but I'll add that to my list of requests.
MSG MotoVlogs yes my is a bit squeaky and vibrates a lot on take off but its fine when above 25mph. Iam doing a belt and rollers change over winter plus a full service with all electrical connections cleaned and sprayed with wd40 or similar. The front plastics look a bit more complex than the rear and very easy to snap lugs and clips etc. I want to do the fork oil as well but this depends how hard that is ha. Thanks for the quick replys and the video tutorials it's quite hard to find information over here in the UK because the silverwing didn't sell in massive numbers' popular bikes you can buy something called a Haynes manual there brilliant but they didn't publish 1 for this bike.. Thanks again paul. 👍
Paul Maudsley oh do I ever know what you're talking about. During my first month of ownership, I experienced the shuddering and lumpy take-off that many owners complain about. I read somewhere that this was caused by a glazed over inner clutch bell (likely caused by the build up of heat on this component during stop and go traffic). After further investigation on several Silver Wing Forums, users suggested that they temporarily solved that problem by applying the parking brake and then going a little throttle for 5secs. The goal here was to clear off the glazed over surface inside the clutch bell which would reduce clutch slippage and increase clutch grip. I did it and to my surprise the symptoms during acceleration went away. Sounds like a full restoration, have you ridden a Burgman 650?
A lot to do for reaching just the air filter. :) I was a bit surprised to see 12 bolts holding the filter. Anyways a great tutorial. Enjoyed it. Cheers bro. Drop by to check my content when you can.
Walmart online has them (OEM Air Filter Fit For Honda FJS400 FJS600 Silverwing) but it takes painfully forever to receive by USPS. I ordered instead the Hiflofiltro air filter. They’re manufactured to fit the factory air box and are a direct replacement for original equipment filters but 10 bucks more. Be safe.
Man thats a lot of trouble to get to a filter eh ..Not Hard work or anything but dam 10 screws to hold that on is a bit overkill . Anyways thank you for showing me this as i will need to know it in the near future . Cheers.
Well the near future was yesterday .. Picked up an '05 Silver Wing .. payed 2500$ for it, used obv, and what a bargain it was . So now im going to check out the filter Thanks to you i now know How . Great videos and i really appreciate this . Im an I.T guy not a mechanic so you help me a ton with your explanations and not expecting everyone to know it all, you cover the basics.. not one of those "just remove this" and pull this kind of vids . Cheers .
@@MSG_MOTO I don't have one other than ease of assembly. It's not like water is going to splash up into that area if you ride in the rain. They weren't thinking about us doing maintenance.
Generally speaking i think the bike is very service friendly, spark plugs, oil changes and brake pad replacements are all 5 minute jobs. So this taking a little longer is not bothering me that much.
Wow, a lot of screws to get to the air filter. Got to take off so many body peace’s. Not very user friendly Honda is usually better than this. My Burgman may have two screws.
Not as bad as it looks. Once you get the panel off you can clean / inspect. This scooter is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Hats off to the engineering team and designers.
🤦 I tell you. That's why following the maintenance intervals 🔧🔨 is so important to perform because multiple checks🔍🪛🔦 are done once the body panels of the scoot are removed 👍👍

That's a great find! You're going to love it.
Just bought my 07 s-wing. I’ve learned a lot about it watching your vids, glad you’re here.
Can you make one about the fuel injection system, how to check it and maybe repair it?
I'm a new S wing owner, got a 2012. Thanks for a very helpful video. This job wasn't bad. The old filter I took out was filthy!

All that 👍
Why you must take all that off is insane. Thanks man
Just want to say thank you great video.. Just purchased a 2002.. Wow.. what a bike..👍👍
Great video!! Thanks!! I was just able to do mine. Can you make a video for where to buy and how to change the strut that props up the seat?
Great video!!! Can you make a video for removing the rear shocks?

Thanx for the video - Amazing explanation with clear info and patience- well done ☺️
I just got a 2006 Honda Silverwing oh my goodness what a pain it is to get your air filter out. Oh my goodness.
I was wondering if the air filter is supposed to fit all the way in? I put an ha-6002 on today but can’t get it to fit in on all edges.
Hopefully you solved you installation problem?
MSG MotoVlogs I installed it but it just doesn’t fit all the way in on the right side. Is that normal?
i guess i have already seen this video before because the like button was already hit. but thanks again
Wow! I thought getting to my Piaggio's air filter took a lot of effort. This one is even more so.
But looking forward to taking wing next season on my new to me SW.

Planning to help a mate service his 2005 Silverwing; thanks for excellent vids
Its a pleasure to help fellow riders out! If there's anything I can do to help don't hesitate to message me!
I love the bike absolutely do have one and then I sold it and I regretted it and I have a bad the same thing same here same colour mine is blue like yours
You ever thinking about doing a windshield replacement vid
Here's a video that covers windshield removal and more th-cam.com/video/19u2exF8Kj4/w-d-xo.html
Hi is there a video about taking all the front plastic panels off. Thank you
Paul Maudsley are you referring to the front fairing?
MSG MotoVlogs yes pretty much the whole front end plastics I've done the rear end with the help of your video 👍
Paul Maudsley thanks for letting me know that my video actually helped someone out 👍. I don't have a video on "how to remove the front fairing". That might be something I should consider making.

Hello brother should I change my air filter or no need please help thank you
Hello Rafik, you should refer to the maintenance intervals set by Honda to determine when you should be replacing the air filter.
The manual states it’s a good idea to replace the air filter when replacing the engine oil and filter.
Thanks for u, good explain and nice step by step work.
Thanks Mustafa 👍 I think this video came out pretty good and comments like yours really mad me happy. Happy riding and stay safe!
thanks a lot for the good explanation.
What a pain in the ars for removal of air filter
I was just thinking the same thing! geeez
A lot to do for reaching just the air filter. :) I was a bit surprised to see 12 bolts holding the filter. Anyways a great tutorial. Enjoyed it. Cheers bro. Drop by to check my content when you can.
Thanks for watching!🙏
why did they not make it so you could open a panel inside the under seat storage to get to it.?
I was thinking that myself , perhaps to discourage self service so you take it back to the Honda stealership!
would this be the same on a 2012 silver wing?
Yeah with 100% certainly this procedure will be the same on a 2012 model.
Thank you for the video!
great tutorial
Thanks, was it easy to understand? Anything I couldve done differently or improved to get the inherent message across?
Cheers mate, very helpful 👍
👍👍 Glad it helped
thank you from N S W Australia 2540 south coast
alan bell you're welcome :)
Hi, can you make a Video how to change the rear pumper?
a big thank you from France
good video
David Quoniou you're welcome bud.
Where can I get a good air filter?
Walmart online has them (OEM Air Filter Fit For Honda FJS400 FJS600 Silverwing) but it takes painfully forever to receive by USPS. I ordered instead the Hiflofiltro air filter. They’re manufactured to fit the factory air box and are a direct replacement for original equipment filters but 10 bucks more. Be safe.
I have 2002 SW 600.... god damn, how i like and love this bike :)
Thanks alot help alot .

Very helpful, keep up the good videos!
Thanks Ken! Good help is hard to find, but I'm changing that with every How-To video I make.
감사합니다
Very good video. Thanks.
Thanks, I'm just I got your approval. Safe riding.
Soooo....why didn't Honda give us access from the INSIDE of the seat storage area?
Yeah, I'd love to hear your reason why Honda chose to do what they did?
@@MSG_MOTO I don't have one other than ease of assembly. It's not like water is going to splash up into that area if you ride in the rain. They weren't thinking about us doing maintenance.
@@MSG_MOTO On my Burgman 650 it was up inside the left hand storage compartment. Easy access.
Generally speaking i think the bike is very service friendly, spark plugs, oil changes and brake pad replacements are all 5 minute jobs. So this taking a little longer is not bothering me that much.
Thanks from Germany
Gracias Dios te Bendiga!!!!!
if the VIN is Japan you use JIS screwdrivers not Philips
You learn something new everyday 👍Here in North America we use Philips.
Damn that looks like a pain in the ass just to change out an air filter
Honda sure didn't make replacing the filter as easy as it should be 🤔
Wow, a lot of screws to get to the air filter. Got to take off so many body peace’s. Not very user friendly Honda is usually better than this. My Burgman may have two screws.
That true but changing the oil and drive fluid in a Burgman is a pain compared to a SW.
A lot of Work just to get to Air Filter, Engineers and Lawyers will be the Death of the World...
That's true 💯 It's definitely the step-thru frame design that makes the air-filter placement most challenging for designers.
Easier to just swap the engine, good grief man.
Not as bad as it looks. Once you get the panel off you can clean / inspect. This scooter is an amazing piece of craftsmanship. Hats off to the engineering team and designers.
It looks surprisingly buried in there, but the Majesty is even harder to access.
Public Comment
Yes?
very very bad design.
🤦 I tell you. That's why following the maintenance intervals 🔧🔨 is so important to perform because multiple checks🔍🪛🔦 are done once the body panels of the scoot are removed 👍👍
Thank you for sharing this!!
You are so welcome! 👌👍
