I have a 2013 Goldwing 1800 do you still recommend the Gen 2 Kuryakyn fork brace PN 7339. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Were the new Yamaha bearings pre greased?

I know an old vid but thx. Last wheel bearings I did was on a 1977 CB 750 Super Sport ( totally different animal). Yeah I’m old. I was intimidated by doing the wheel bearings on my 2007 FJR. Not now! Thx. again.

i was not reusing old shock so i unscrewed the hard/soft unit it is only wire like some clutch brake levers and just pulled through , otherwise did most what you filmed ty made job understandable at start

After hearing what you did with a rock, I tapped the timing cover with a hammer, and my bike started. I have the pulse generator and gasket ordered, I WILL change it, but I wanted to try your trick for 2 reasons, 1) To see if it worked on my bike [in case of emergency]. 2) To confirm it is indeed the pulse generator that is the problem and not a problem in the connector underneath the air box. Now I’m thinking I will cut the wires from the old pulse generator and splice/solder in an automotive waterproof connector at the front of the bike and wait until I do an air filter replacement to eliminate the connector underneath the air box. Thank you for mentioning your “rock” trick.

Thank you for sharing. 👍🏼 I just discovered today my 2012 ABS Goldwing not starting and showing the Code 19 after 111,497 miles, so I will be doing the same job when the parts arrive. Thank you again for sharing your experience, I will have more confidence digging into mine. I do have a question for the option of moving the connector for next time needing to do this job. What is your opinion on after getting to the connector, cutting the connector and splicing/soldering a length of wire, extending the connector so it will be accessible behind the front cowl covers? Thus eliminating having to remove the air box and lift the gas tank. It seems like there is no reason that would not work.

I just finished doing this on my '15 F6B deluxe (code 19 repair). I did not have to remove any of the tire fender equipment. I just removed the top and bottom fairing pieces surrounding the timing cover. Luckily mine is a non-abs model, so it was quite easy to disconnect the CKP sensor, once I moved coil 5 it was easy to reach the connection point for the sensor. I replaced the sensor with a new one and placed the new gasket and silicon sealant across the top and bottom where the engine case halves mate up. I have a video on my channel showing where the sensor connects and how I removed it. Honestly was easier than replacing the air filter in my opinion for non-abs. ua-cam.com/video/uddZ1X7j7qc/v-deo.htmlsi=Ks026KyNXyktGiS7

Don't blow on solder joints. It makes them crack.

Great video...very informative

thank you for this video it helped me ALOT tried following the instruction but they were had to read.

I did that in 1993 so beautiful place to guys are arrested for trying to scale. The tower is kind of fun watching that I have and I love the ride. Be safe.

Thank you so much j7st reassembling a bike i didnt take apart........i have 4 9f these im gonna work on......86 thru 99

Can i ask you what is the hose for thats under the tank......is it just a vent tube or does it connect to something....also what color is that bike

Well, it was just as you suspected, broken tabs laying in there with your clutch plates! You were smart to replace all the pressure plates. Makes me wonder about the 2002 Im getting ready to buy with 52k on it and no mention of that work ever having been done. Putting a magnet on the drain plug is a great idea. I really appreciate your videos and your friendly can do attitude. Very helpful and encouraging! Thank you and cheers from Indiana!

Very nice. Great video and so helpful! Thank you sir.

Thanks, very helpful.

You made it look easy! Great job and well explained! Thank you!

I dont know if you still monitor this page but I am considering buying a 2002 ZG1000 Concours with 54k on it. The guy says it runs great and its had 3+ owners. He wants 3800 for it, started out at 4500. I have been reading and watching videos about testing compression and tearing down carburetors and adjusting valves and cam chains and such. I am sure I am less experienced than you. In 1995 I had a 1982 1000 CSR that I loved and stupidly sold. It wasnt all decked out with a fairing and had only a luggage rack and back rest on the rack. Im a little afraid of the miles and how much trouble it would be to take off the fairings to get to things like the front end and carburetors and such. Im no young guy anymore and I am about to watch your video. I was considering an 1981 Honda CB 750F as a project bike to paint and fix up and make my own but i was slow getting the bucks together, $1000 for 19k miles which I thought was pretty good, and the guy sold it. So anyway, this Concours came along and I am wondering if you think it might be a decent bike for me. New tires last year, oil change at the end of season and battery has been maintained. Thank you. Just finished it. Yes, that was very helpful. I will move on to Video #2. Thank you!

Are you in New Hampshire?

Steve WE MISS YA MAN.

Why not use a large bolt and washer then the old bearing on each side to pull the new ones in rather than bang on them. Old bearing will take the stress off the new ones.

Here's a pro tip for you: it makes zero sense using a digital torque wrench if you aren't going to lubricate the threads of the bolts first. You are losing over 40% of that torque effort to friction, therefore you don't have the correct pretension on the bolt, so you may as well use that clicker wrench. Lubricate all fasteners liberally with anti-seize first before torquing, except for spark plugs, don't lubricate those threads. BTW, I'm a mechanical engineer.

Superb video. You know your stuff. Thank you for doing the work to make this video for everyone who owns a ZG. I, too, took my ZG for it's maiden ride and coming home the clutch started slipping. Your video will make the repair so much easier. I owe you one, buddy! For now, thank you kindly.

Put the top of the line Owens on my FJR all I can say is wow it improved the corner ability so dramatically... Combine that with my Moto GP front... And even though my bike is from 2010 I bet it rolls through corners better than the new ones... And that's even with a dark side rear

I pick up my 86 in two days. Looking forward to digging into it!

Well done, sir. very good job, Thanks for sharing your thoughts with others, I appreciate your time and efforts. Have a safe ride. Thank you again, Mohammed

i just sold my 2005 becuase it was starting to develop too many issues due to age. I now have a 2020 tracer 900GT

I thought you meant the CPS, was wondering WTF is a CKP??? Click, it is torqued. I always wonder WHY folks tighten bolts with impact guns.....good way to wreck your aluminum mount point but looks like you're ok.

I watched it all, Bob. I have 2 things to say. 1. You're my friggin' hero! and 2. I'm selling my Goldwing before something goes wrong. Well done!

First! I'll finish watching and then leave my real comment. But for now, you are fearless to tackle this.

It looks like a big job

excellent ..thanks

This is great to find. I’m picking up an ‘86 (it’s being given to me) and it needs some minor work. So this is good stuff.

Good video.

Would LOVE to know what that wrench you used to install the slotted nut on top of the bearing is called. Ugh, Googled it and it's a C Wrench Spanner, comes in multiple sizes, ordered a set for the TB. Too bad ya never listed the P/N of the bearings. I prefer tapered bearings and a lot of aftermarket stuff is roller bearings. Folks say to not use a compressor on the fork air. Personally I use a hand pump with a gauge on it. We all do what we can for sure.

Half Fast fork brace ???? That would be what it is WITHOUT the fork brace.......it does work very well to keep the forks from shifting under heavy turn down forces. Something ALL of them found out with smaller diameter fork tubes. Engineers, what will they think of next. Personally I find it easier to remove the wheel first, which is a must anyway, to rebuild the forks or change the tire.......we each have our ways don't we.

I needed this Ride ...Thank you for sharing

OMGOODNESS

Bob, I take a 5tb drive on my trips and it's always empty when I start. The 360 cameras take alot of storage. I won't ride at night. My night vision isn't what it used to be. I love to see the sun rise when I riding. it's so peaceful. We travel alike. Long days in the saddle, no problem. Greries. I enjoyed them all. Thanks.

Should-a~love it~ very awesome vlog. so long,

This really helped me last year when I was doing my '14 wing. Thank you. I was new to the tire removal off the rim part so I ended up at a shop for that part. On the rear wheel the tech put the valve facing to the right or brake side. It bangs into the caliper so I had to go back to the shop to have them turn it around. I found they calibrate themselves to the bike system as long as you re and re from the correct wheel. I had a heck of a time getting a measurement of voltage for some reason. I'll be happy with 6 years without problems.

Would you replace the tire due to the uneven wear on the tires that I see

Great pictures

Great videos, Bob! Thanks for sharing them with us. Any idea when episode 8 is coming?

So, it might be useful to replace those batteries every other tire change, while the tires are already off?

You should be careful with that pliers when you bent the tabs as the way you do it, you are shorting the battery out. You do not want to do the whole process and end up with a flat battery.😮

12/21/23 Found TPMS for 2012 Goldwing for $375.00.

Excellent video, thanks. Think I will remove the forks and then just take them to the shop for the hard part.

I watched all seven episodes and really enjoyed it - well done! I hope you'll post the rest of the trip

Great night shots…thanks.
