you may have blown the starter solenoid or even worst the starter motor i cannot diagnose without seeing the bike properly i strongly suggest you put in a workshop and get it diagnosed properly

right found the question sounds to me the that either the crank nut or the cam nut is rubbing on the head cover casing pop the cam cover casing off and have a look for any scraping marks if that is the problem it needs to go in the shop for a look at it could be the mains or the spacer washers on the crank or something simple link the clutch i know its low milage but these need very regular full service and oil change every 10 to 15k

hi jim sorry i missed the last question whats the problem?

Dunno. Why? If you have a knock adjust the fuel octane by switching from high grade to low etc. check your manual

Dunno. Why? If you have a knock adjust the fuel octane by switching from high grade to low etc. check your manual

1. CHECK THE MAIN FUSEAND FI INGN FUSE IF OK THEN GO TO 2.
2. MAKE SURE ENGINE STOP SWITCH IS NOT ON.
3.MAKE SURE THAT FI RELAY IS CLOSING. TURN ON KEY SWITCH AND THE FI LIGHT SHOULD COME ON. THEN CHECK TO SEE IF 12VOLTS IS AT RED/WHITE WIRE COMING FROM RELAY ( RELAY IS UNDER THE SEAT)
NOW IF THIS SO YOU SHOULD HAVE SPARK AT THE PLUGS. IF NOT SOMETHING IS SHORTING THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. MAKE SURE THE BIKE IS IN NEUTRAL
AND THE IGNITION PULSE GENERATOR IS GOOD

my honda gl 1800 gold wing has sound from speaker but not from head set. I have the control on headset. Can you help me with this problem? [email protected]

I have same ride same problem put your ear down by the cluch lever and you will hear a click when you let the cluch out the same time the radio quits if you take the switch off and hold it closed the radio will work all the time

No, no separate relay: they are powered by the same relay with the same switch. Simple test: cross the wires to the bulbs - left to right and the other way around. If its the same then the defect is in the bulb and its connector. If the right is the one that now fails the problem is in the wiring - the power wire for the low beam is broken somewhere along its path.
In that case the cheapest and easiest solution is to just jump the low beam wire from the right to the left bulb. Later, when you will have the time, you will need to remove the front cowling, expose the wiring and follow the power wire until you find the fault.
If you need a wiring schematic you can find it in this repair manual

10w40 is good for road trips
10w30 is great for short trips

The Mute Button is stuck

Hello,

The battery is usually located on the left side (same side as shifter) of the bike under the side cover. Simply pull off the side cover to access the battery.

Hope this helps. If you find this information useful, please vote on this post. Thank you.

FI stands for Fuel Injection. The fuel system sensors have detected a problem. It could be anything > a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a plugged injector, an error in fuel mapping, any number of things. Serious problems can trigger the computer to prevent the engine from starting until the problem is fixed. You will need to take the bike to a dealer to have them plug in a code reader. The code reader will tell you exactly what problem has been detected. There is a chance the sensor has gone bad. Keep that in mind. Now determine if you want to do the fix or have the dealer do it. Please rate my answer.
