Before storage last year everything was fine with my 2000 Goldwing. When taking the bike out of storage for the season everything seemed ok until my first ride. I discovered that the rear brake pedal has no tension. After checking the brake fluid all levels are fine. Any ideas before I take this thing apart?

too many chemicals will cloud contact the company website or did you maybe its the water change the water

I had exactly the same problem. It turned out to be the ignition module. The first time that mine failed it was exactly as you described.
What happens when the ignition module goes is the bike will run fine then when the motor gets hot it will shut down. Then it won't start again until the motor has completely cooled down. Then it will start, run rough, get hot and shut down again.
You will find the ignition module behind the round cover where the points are on older bikes.
There is an LED light on it that will tell you if it is working properly or not. But replacing one probably isn't a project that you want to take on yourself.
Unless you are completely confident with working on vital electrical components of your bike then I would suggest taking it to an experienced mechanic whom you trust.

There is host of problem incured with this. The linkage to the starter motor maybe out of adjustment. The switch push for reverse and the light will come on the dash. That switch can cause problems. The whole switch assembly has to be change/not cheap. Try some WD-40 and work the switch back in forth. Go to Goldwing Goldwing there are good help manuals for all goldwing. To check reverse start motor and leakage require a lot of space.

Turn key, press button, pray.

Seriously, what symptoms are you having? I assume the bike isn't starting. Does it crank? If so, does it fire at all? Starts then stalls? Smokes? Makes weird noises?

When I worked as a motorcycle mechanic, this was my busiest time of year when countless bikes would arrive in the backs of pickup trucks. Most of the time the problem is that they sat all winter with fuel in the carbs. Fuel in the tank isn't generally a problem. But before putting the bike up after the last ride of the year, if people would just shut off the fuel while the bike is still running, then wait until the engine dies before shutting off the ignition, at least 90% of the bikes that fail to start in the spring wouldn't have any trouble at all.

There are more steps that should be taken for putting a bike up for the season, but this one simple step is the most important and would prevent a lot of non-running bikes swamping the mechanics, who have to take apart carbs with extremely tiny jets and get everything cleaned up.

sometimes altitude can make a difference, but most likely your problem is from storage. The air is thinner at 7000ft, so it will only be air mixture adjustment. You need to prepare your bike for storage! I would remove the carby, remove the bottom from it and inspect for dirt,and or water, clean the jets out, and put back together. The cause is most likely water or dirt in your carby.

r all the mufflers the same heat--make sure carbs r ok n gas is gitten to um--inspec plug wires n the rest of ign for wear and bad contacts--with an ohmeter n repair manual varius test can be done-sayonnara

Did you put a new battery in it? If not have it load tested and replace if needed. Check the grounds and make sure they are clean and tight. Check the stator by going to the plug on the right front down tube, with a muti meter take a reading with the bike running on the side that goes back toward the engine, I forget the values but you should get a reading at idle and then as you rev the motor the reading should climb. If all of the above check out OK the problem will be your voltage regulator.

the clutch disks are stuck together

could be a out sinked carb or gum from sitting gas won't last long

I make about ± 18000km a year with one pare of tires. I always use Bridgestone, becauce in Belgium the weather isn't so good, (rean)And i always chance then in november just before the winter begins.
