by 3pm i'll be without a rideable bike, goldwing or otherwise
haven't had a chance to bleed it. the1500 is heading to the shop to have the new tire mounted and new rear brakes put on and dewey had an accident on the 450. none of the 750's have a plate or insurance on them so i'm kinda bikelessI heard about the clutch, now what?
Hey Hey don't be spilling the beans.Well, wear your new shirt if that helps at all
so am iGlad you got the 1200 up and running.
I need to do the same on my 1200, the slave cylinder is sticking and I've never changed out the fluid.![]()
Install a set of speed bleeders and it will make the job much easier.....i pulled the clutch lever with my left hand and opend and closed the bleeder with my right
if you look on the back of the motor where the slave cylinder is you would be in no hurry to put a speed bleeder on. infact using the 8mm socket and a long extension was the only way to do it, there wasn't enough room to get my hand in thereInstall a set of speed bleeders and it will make the job much easier.....
They make them for the brakes and the clutch. Just need to remember to fully close them when through bleeding the lines or you will make a big mess.......(don't ask how I know...

At least on the 1500 Honda got smart and put an extension tube on the bleeder so it is easily accessed.if you look on the back of the motor where the slave cylinder is you would be in no hurry to put a speed bleeder on. infact using the 8mm socket and a long extension was the only way to do it, there wasn't enough room to get my hand in there
i know all wings from '79 - '87 have the bottle and all 1500 wingshave the tube or tubes that are capped. my cb450 nighthawk and both '79 cb 750's have a capped tube.once when i first got my '79 750k the breather tube was sooo backed up that it started running like it needed a tuneup and i was still 40 miles from homeAt least on the 1500 Honda got smart and put an extension tube on the bleeder so it is easily accessed.
