hey buddy,
your starter is probably the culprit here, as with all electric
motors, time and heat are their worst enemies, and on a 27 year old
bike, the starter has seen it's share of both.
remove the starter and clean both contact points and also bench test
it cold, then put it in your oven and

on my 82 750 i tried several different bars before i found a set that

holes for the locatin

spray carb cleaner or spray gasket remover will remove the clear coat
nicely, and a tube of semi-chrome polish and elbow grease will make

however i would suggest painting it black for the heat dissipation

pull your tank off and remove your coils. you can try to dry them out,
but the best fix is a replacement for them. and try to clean ALL
electrical connections . look atyour wiring as well, when wires get
old the insulation sometimes cracks , add a little water and you get
a mess. good luck

heres the easiest fix, ride your bike everyday. you'll be happier and
save gas money

those wires as old as the bike is they are bound to be brittle from
age and engine heat

no problem, one other thing, get the torque specs for ALL nuts and
bolts that you remove and adhere to them like gospel. over torqueing
your front axle will cause your new bearings to fail prematurely. and
use blue locktite (permatex part #24240) on your caliper bolts and
axle nut.

kyle look at the pic that paul posted, it is a GL1500, the vids you
posted the links to are all '06 or '07 GL1800's look the same but are
completely different animals, no offense meant but as a honda tech, i
have seen many cracked 1500 frames, as well as several early 1800
farmes. im not saying
no they werent dogs, they really are fun bikes to ride, however i
would suggest a much later version like the vfr 800. awesome handling
and you can take long rides and still be comfortabl.but for power
nothing beats an inline four

electrical connections, or wheel bearings. i have had disasterous
experiences in these areas. best advice i can give is to take your

order a manual from honda, goto pep boys or oreilly auto parts, buy
the materials and do it yourself. the manual will run approx. 80 bucks
and oil and filters are 25 bucks every 3000miles do the math? if you
can follow a recipe for cooking , then you can follow the manual.
good luck

ngk plugs and either castrol 4T , amsoil , or motorex would be best
for any bike
follow the weight recomendation from honda and youll never have any
trouble
also change your oil according to your riding style, paw-paws can go
3000 , hot rodders and hard riders (heavy traffic or heavy throttle)
first off your charging system is not working , that needs to be
addressed bofore anything else the rest sounds like a connection
problem. get the charging system fixed then go looking for the

the extra ground solves the symptom, but the problem is corrosion
where your engine mounts to the frame. over time the aluminum on the
engine and the steel in the frame set up a chemical reaction to one
another , the extra ground will help , but eventually it will corrode
as well. best solution
