I hooked my battery up backwards on my 1998 Goldwing 1500 Se. Runs great but does not charge battery when running. What part did I damage?

SOURCE: battery contstantly drains on 1989 Honda Goldwing Trike 1500

did you start it and put a volt meter on it to verify your getting approx 14 volts to the battery?

SOURCE: how do I refill coolant on 1998 honda goldwing

find overflow bottle should be on left side.

SOURCE: Gl 1500 SE bike wont start of push button

If you jump the solenoid and it doesn't turn over, it is probably a bad starter. But don't forget to make sure the neutral light is on and the kickstand switch is good.

SOURCE: is the engine oil and transmission the same on

Yes the engine and transmission run in the same oil. Use any oil with the JASO MA motorcycle certification. 10w-40 for cold climate, 20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Do not use any oil that says Energy Conserving on the label. It will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears. Synthetic oil will help your bike run cooler and shift easier. You will need 4 quarts of oil , an oil filter, and a new aluminum sealing washer for the drain plug.
