G,
We accept mail at any address.

Good to have yoou on the site. Ex racer here myself, open wheel formula cars. Now just a crew chief. Ride safe & enjoy.
Thanks.. looking foreward to watching 'Prelude to the dream' tonight. Only asphalt racing I have done was in an INEX Thunder Roadster at Texas Motor Speedway's short track a few years back while at the Honda Training facility in Irvine. Set a sloppy quick time that day and rolled in with hot brakes. Nothing like dirt racing around here where ya might as well throw my brake pedal away... lol
Thanks for the welcome !
how about i say " hello and welcome to GWOF " gimpster right here
Nice to meet ya my friend !!
thanks for the welcome
A link to a link. Clever trick, Gimpster! I see Two Wheel Wing has already christened you a resident mechanic based on your resume'. Remember, it's all about the points here: the more you post, the more points you earn. I just earned a point for pointing this out. We look forward to your " peeking into this joint ". While we have you, and based on your experience and history, " What's the best oil to use in the Goldwing ? "
Resident mechanic, aye ? Haha, interesting.. The best oil ? there are a lot of opinons on that topic. Depends on the demand implied per Wing. Solo riding to pulling a trailer loaded down will vary my suggestion. Basic oil to look for of coarse is bike specific. I seek demands set forth in oils with a good residual in the detergent area because of the wet clutch and also polymeres to keep it from breaking down in gearcases as well as anti-foaming. As far as a mineral oil, the Honda line oil stands up well, almost a standard for a minimal guidline if you look into tech data sheets per oil. Synthetics have picked up over the years in stability that in most cases I lean towards them. Adheasion in chemical mix of current synthetics have not been seperating inside the engines from heat or compression of gears and keeping friction of clutches under control. Seeing less and less failures in synthetics than back when they were first introduced to the motorcycle world. Now if we could only say the same for oil filtration. The need to change oil filter only between oil changes still exists in the synthetic era. The oil outlasts the filter to date, no matter the micron capability of the filter paper composure. Myself, I stay away from oils labeled fuel economy on their bottle facing as many of their friction inhibitors are harmfull for the clutch and gear assemblies.
Snake oil I have had good luck with is Amsoil motorcycle oil... even good results in my Harleys and old Nortons with no signs of oil related failures and wear while it is in use.
The other end of the spectrum is rear final drive gear oil where I have had absolutely zero failures, I stand firm on Bel Ray Gear saver...
Like I mentioned above, when it comes to oils, I research any tech data sheets before cracking a cap open on a jug of their brand. I think I have been around bikes too long...lol
Just my 2¢
