I see many people on various forums asking for information and some get some off the walls answers. First thing folks is buy yourself a service manual Clymer is good, but if you can get your hands on a Honda manual that's even better. There are DVD's available for the GL1500 and GL1800, they are worth the money and you will not be given misleading or false information. I know individuals who have purchased the DVD's and have successfully done work in their spare time that would have cost them a good chunk of change.
I have two very close friend who are 'Ace' Goldwing techs and they'll tell anyone to stay away from snake oil cure alls, vodo and magic spells or oddball suggestions on the internet, I believe I may know which forums they could be talking about, but it's speculation on my part. These two men have heard it all and seen it done and they clean up the aftermath. One stated that there are 'Crackpots' who actually post on forums off the walls ideas and there are people stupid enough to try them. That sounds familiar I know some that did and it cost them $$$.
Please people educate yourself, your Goldwing is an expensive piece of machinery and you need to take care of it correctly so that it will last long. Remember always follow directions, read everything thoroughly and if you need help ask a professional. To get Goldwing Service DVD's go to www.illustratedpowersports.com
